Day Nurseries Owned by Dunkys Day Nurseries Ltd in Cheshire

Both of my daughters have been to Dunkys and I highly recommend. Such a wonderful group of staff who are all amazing, thoughtful and are amazing with the children. They always go above and beyond to accommodate needs and queries and I couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything!

Ollie loves his days at Forest school - every school holiday he asks when he is going to see his friends at Forest school. He loves being outdoors and the days are clearly designed to foster the children's love of being outside. We love the fact he comes home muddy and needing a long soak in the bath - shows he's had the best time! We're so grateful to all the staff for the care they provide and for all the fun activities they plan. We've already asked about booking for October half term! Had we not found Forest school, we'd have been very stuck during the school holidays as Ollie hates "sports" type clubs, which all the others seem to be! Thank you :)

The most amazing nursery! My daughter has attended their since she was 10 months old until now as she leaves for Primary school. They are all wonderful people and take pride in caring for all the children. My daughter loves going to Nursery and loves all the staff

I would highly recommend Dunky Nursery to anyone and will be so sad to leave as will my daughter

My daughter attended a few sessions o holiday club now and really has enjoyed everyday. She is excited to tell me what she has been doing and singing forest school songs. Lauren has been really helpful with answering any questions I have. This is really something special.

Forest School Nursery Review

We've been really pleased with Forest School Nursery. We initially struggled to find suitable holiday childcare for our child, but Forest School were so helpful and accommodating. They responded quickly, made it easy to book the days we needed and were very positive about supporting us.

The outdoor learning environment is lovely, and the staff are caring, welcoming and genuinely attentive to the children's individual needs.

It's also a huge relief knowing we now have somewhere reliable to use for future school holidays. We would definitely recommend Forest School Nursery to other parents.

My daughter has been to 3 nurseries and always got upset when she had to go. We took her to see Dunkys and she asked to move there. Since moving she is excited to go to nursery, the staff all clearly know her well, she's started talking about other kids which she didn't previously and I'm completely at ease when she's there. The facilities (particularly for toddlers and preschool ages) are amazing and the forest school is a huge selling point. Genuinely can't fault the nursery and we're looking forward to our second daughter starting there soon.

My son attended this nursery and with him struggleing to settle alot with previous nursery settings he attended I was about hesitant at first but he took to this nursery straight away and enjoyed it so much and he grew so much the staff are amazing and always so helpful and accommodating it left me with no hesitation when it was my daughters turn for nursery I signed her straight up and she now attends and absolutely loves it I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery and the care they have given our daughter since she was just 9 months old. She has absolutely thrived during her time there and has always been so happy and excited to go in.

The staff are incredibly welcoming, caring and friendly, and it's clear that they take a genuine interest in each child as an individual. They have supported our daughter's development brilliantly and it's lovely to see how much she has grown in confidence since starting.

They have also been extremely understanding and flexible with us as parents who work shifts, which has made such a difference and taken away a lot of the stress that can come with childcare.

We feel completely confident leaving our daughter in their care and know she is safe, happy and well looked after. We're so grateful to the whole team for everything they do - we would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive environment for their child.

My daughter has been attending nursery since she was 2 years old. As a mother it is a very daunting thing to leave your child in the care of other people however, from the very start Dunkys made my daughter and myself very at ease. They have provided a loving and caring setting for all the children and it is such a lovely nursery. My daughter has come on amazingly well since being in nursery and it's all down to the staff and how much effort they put in to each child. I will be so sad for my daughter to leave as she starts primary school this year. If I am ever lucky enough to have more children in the future then I wouldn't think twice about putting them into Dunkys. Thank you so much to each and every staff member that has been part of my daughters nursery journey xx

My son has attended since he was 13 months old and he has thrived in every room. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and I have always felt so comfortable leaving him in their safe hands. They are always approachable and communicate efficiently daily if needs be. He has learned so much whilst he has been here including writing and the start of phonic sounds. He also eats a varied diet whilst there and tries new things. They go out of their way to accommodate when they can. My little boy loves a cuddle and he has created some lovely relationships with the staff throughout the years. He asks to go even on his days off! He is about to leave and we are all genuinely devastated that he has to go to primary school! I would highly highly recommend this nursery and the staff here! They have done amazing making it an unreal environment for the children aswell as the staff. Recently the garden has been renovated and it looks incredible for the children! Massive space for playing!

Highly recommend this nursery. My daughter absolutely adores going to nursery here, she has learned so much and the care the staff give is beyond amazing. I have limited contact in my workplace so I cannot use the app for updates on my daughter but the staff work around this with me and ensure I get updates when I want them, they always have done since my daughter started here. They go above and beyond for families. Would give more stars if I could! Fabulous!!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our son. From the very beginning, everyone at Dunky's Day Nursery made us feel so welcome and supported. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and friendly, and they always go above and beyond to help families.

They have been so flexible with my son's attendance, especially as I often needed to change his hours due to work commitments. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and their understanding and support meant a great deal to us.

The biggest compliment I can give is that my son was always excited to go to nursery. He would happily walk in every day with a smile, without any hesitation. He loved taking part in all the different activities and was always eager to tell me about his day when I picked him up.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff for creating such a happy, safe, and nurturing environment. We are so grateful for the care, patience, and dedication you've shown our son. We will always look back on our time at Dunky's with

We have had both our children here over the past two years, one of which has just graduated. It's a brilliant nursery and all the staff are great. They listen to us and work with us, which is what you need when leaving your children in someone else's care. Our youngest is autistic and they look after him so well, and have learnt his needs despite him not being able to vocalise his needs or wants. They both always come out with a big smile on their faces and we couldn't appreciate them more. The new garden area is fantastic, lots of space and a nice safe area especially with our youngest, it's a totally safe place where he can do as he pleases even if he doesn't want to be in a group activity, whilst still being able to be watched. So so happy and couldn't recommend them anymore.

My daughter has been in Dunky's she was 9 months old & she is now moving onto her next adventure to big school. From the second we walked into Dunky's we just knew this is exactly where she was going to thrive. Every member of staff are the most caring and loving people who had such a positive impact on my daughters learning & life throughout the past 4 years. They support through every milestone, from weaning to potty training. The meals here are second to none & their new garden area is absolutely amazing for the children. Myself & my daughter are going to massively miss everyone at Dunky's. The outstanding ofsted report is a testament to them all.

Thank you for helping us raise our little man

I'm a first time mum and was so nervous sending my baby to nursery however the manager & staff are so unbelievably genuine around me & my baby that I'm confident and comfortable with them helping me bring him up while I work. I did visit other nurseries prior to Dunkys and as soon as I stepped into the Runcorn site I was blown away, the children's happiness, the cleanliness, snails, something everywhere you looked, the kids get there teeth brushed, checked frequently when napping, monitored when they have allergies, hydration schedules, not to mention the staff, the manager straight away had my baby smiling on arrival I LOVE how personable she is with the kids & an actual bunny pen in one of the rooms I was sold. Lastly the staff - they are so detailed with how my babies been and how they try to make his time there better as he's still a little sad when mum leaves, they keep me updated on the app which helps me relax. Amazing nursery. My baby loves the staff too unreal x

The most incredible nursery! Every single member of staff goes above and beyond for both the children and the parents. The effort and care they put into every child who walks through the doors is unlike any other nursery I've had experiences with. My daughter loves coming to nursery and sometimes doesn't want to leave! On pickup we see Vikki or Chloe and always met with such a lovely and friendly attitude. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Dunkys has the most fabulous staff who really care about the kids. They make a real effort to establish great relationships between other children and with members of staff. They also seem to really value the effort that parents put in to raising happy children and follow the parents lead to get the best out of the children.

Thank you to everyone at Dunky's for making what was such an emotional milestone for me such a positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dunky's to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

We have one child at the nursey and I can't rate them highly enough. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, enthusiastic and always go above and beyond to support parents with any questions/updates. We moved to the area a couple of years ago and the support in my child's transition from her old nursery was exceptional. I would highly recommend.
