What a wonderful nursery! my son has the best time learning and exploring in the forest. The team have been amazing and really helped my son to develop and explore his love of the outdoors. My son isn't the type of child that enjoys conventional learning, so it's been brilliant that he has been learning
without even realising it most of the time. We are certainly going to miss Forest school now that we are moving on to 'big school' but we will certainly be back during the school holidays.

My son and daughter have both spent time at this nursery over the past 4 years, and I could not thank the staff enough for all their support, love, and guidance we have received. My children have loved their journey here at Dunky's and it's definitely down to the amazing staff giving them the best care
I could have hoped for them and I am forever grateful to all staff who have created the best environment for my children.

My Daughter started at Dunkys at 11 months old. leaving her was the hardest thing I ever had to do but in a short time I found she was in the best hands possible .Dunkys always went above and beyond to make sure she always had a good time sometimes not wanting to come home because of all the fun even
though she starts school in September she keeps asking when she is going back to Dunkys I carnt thank the staff enough for just being amazing knowing my daughter was safe and so well cared for when I wasn't there made going back to work that much easier

We love forest school! My son started forest school at Gulliver's when his funding kicked in. He settled so well and all the staff were incredible helping him to feel comfortable. We have recently increased his hours as he is thriving at forest school.


My son comes home with lots of exciting stories

about his fun day in the forest. He has made lots of new friends and enjoys telling about all the staff he loves.


The team at Dunkys forest school have been amazing in supporting my son with his extra needs and considerations. I really appreciate the updates I get via phone call and the family app to let me know he his safe and well.


Thank you so much

Would absolutely recommend Culcheth Dunky's. Our little boy was quite shy and sensitive and I was nervous to see if he would settle, but the team went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable very quickly and he now can't wait to go in the morning. He's now built up so much more confidence and
he's learning new things every day.

My daughter loves being outside and kicking her shoes off so this place is great for her. Since starting 2 months ago she's already less bothered about being wet, muddy and the rain! She's continually looking for bugs, sticks, leaves etc, exploring the environments around her. The staff are friendly
and approachable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3.5 year old usually attends Dunkys Great Sankey but throughout summer has been doing some days at the Forest School at Gullivers, and she absolutely LOVES it. Every time we pick her up she asks if she can come back tomorrow. The fresh air and outdoor activities are perfect for her, and so well thought
out. She loves the staff there too especially one staff member in particular who she talks about a lot :) if there is availability I'll be continuing to send her hopefully one day a week! I'm only rating the food provided as 4* because we provide a packed lunch but if the lunch was included I'd rate that 5* too. Overall though everything else is 5* from my point of view.

Dunkys Forest School @ Gullivers

from Georgina H (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were initially nervous about signing our son up for forest school after he had struggled to settle in a previous childcare setting, but it has turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The outdoor setting is perfect for his active nature, giving him the freedom to explore, play, and
burn off energy. He now runs in happily without even stopping to say goodbye, and often cries when it's time to leave because he doesn't want the day to end!
At home, his love for forest school continues - he plays "forest school" with us, insisting we become the workers while he re-creates his favourite activities. It's clear how much the experience means to him.
The staff have been incredible throughout, taking time to reassure us, keeping us updated through the app, and always going above and beyond to support him. Forest school has given our son joy, confidence, and a place where he can truly be himself. We couldn't be more grateful.

Our little boy absolutely loves Forest School. He attends once a week and it's great to see what he gets up to whilst he's there.
The staff set up lots of different activities with the little ones, including water play, physical obstacle courses, painting and learning about the forest wildlife.
The
staff are lovely and really care! Our son has a great relationship with his key worker. We get regular updates on our Son's progress, including regular parents evenings.
We cannot recommend the Forest School enough!

My daughter attends forest school as part of her nursery experience and my son has attended as part of holiday club.
They both thoroughly enjoy their time here and they are always excited to tell us about their adventures at the end of the day.
The staff here are nothing other than amazing, so supportive
not just with the children but with parents too.
This is such a brilliant setting to learn, the facilities are exceptional and the activities they take part in are creative and fun.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending forest school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has recently started attending since June 2025 just before turning 12 months and my experience with nursery has been amazing. My child has grown in confidence, learnt new skills, follows instructions and developing really well which I feel has been through the benefit of attending the nursey
setting.
I did a show round when my child was around 3 months old and knew I didn't need to look elsewhere. Staff call if any worries, give updates throughout the day and upon pick up, every member of staff knows my child's name, which I think is huge as a parent.
I would recommend Dunkys Runcorn to any parent, lots of updates, lovely friendly staff, welcoming, fresh cooked meals but most importantly my child, although young enjoys it which is the main thing!
