Day Nurseries Owned by Dunkys Day Nurseries Ltd in Cheshire

Staff are amazing very warm and welcoming, my little boy has come on so much already in just the short space of time he's been there! Nothing is ever to much for them, very helpful. Definitely made the right decision sending my little boy to this nursery.

my experience with Dunky's has been exemplary; from the wonderful management and office staff who are always warm and supportive, through to the fantastic care staff within the nursery. My Son started at Dunky's as a Toddler in Feb 2025 and his transition to nursery was very difficult; he cried a lot! The Toddler team and my Son's key worker were incredibly understanding and supportive and made my son feel very cared for and safe. And the office team did the same for me while I was falling apart in the car park! :-). The nursery itself is fun and wonderful; the facilities and environment available to toddlers and preschoolers are fabulous and, in particular, the Forest School is fantastic! I would (and have) recommend Dunky's to anyone looking for a truly wonderful nursery experience for their child and for the parents.

I am very thankful to the whole nursery team for making such a positive difference in my daughter's life. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

We are so happy with this nursery! The staff are caring, friendly, and attentive, making sure the children feel safe, happy, and supported. The environment is welcoming, and it's lovely to see how much the children learn and develop. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

My little girl has been at dunkys for the last few months and the care that she has received there has been amazing ! She loves going to nursery and all the staff are simply amazing they are all so kind and attentive I don't feel that I can't put into words how wonderful everyone is, I feel that they go above and beyond and nothing is ever too much trouble, Molly has come on so much since being there and I can't sing their praises enough

My eldest (now 10) attended this nursery years ago and we loved it so much that our youngest has recently joined too :) it's been so lovely to see that Joanna is still here, as well as so many of the team we knew from so long ago. All of the staff have been so welcoming and it really means a lot - our son was very anxious starting nursery but he's quickly making bonds and is really enjoying his nursery time now! Thank you so much to everyone at Dunky's :)

The staff there are amazing and adapts to my child's needs.

My son started here this September just turning 2. On induction we were made to feel so welcome and the nursery and staff were lovely. Safety aspects are amazing. Patience, care and personal interaction with our son is exceptional which puts our minds at ease. Hes always happy to be left in the morning and take part in all the daily activities which we get daily updates about

My son has been going to Dunky's since May, and to be honest, he loves it there. He was not very social in the beginning, but he blended in very well. From my observations, the environment is very calm and child-friendly, making the kids feel included. The staff are kind, and I have seen the nursery clean every time I have gone inside, which is a major plus point. Additionally, the observation updates are very cute and detailed .

Our 3yr old moved to dunkys for term 2026-27 from a previous nursery and we/she couldn't be happier the environment has a family feel and she loves going, nursery pets give it that special touch for her, meal costs are very reasonable and menu is excellent and the staff are all fantastic.

My son goes this nursery and since he has been attending he has come so far along with his speech and is engaging in many new things I myself couldn't accomplish. The staff are amazing and help with all needs. Every time my son leaves nursery he goes with a smile and is always excited to go back.

The staff are happy to help with any problem and are quick at responding too.

I foster a little boy who wouldn't talk to anyone or play with any other children the difference in just a few months is unbelievable he's really come out his shell and even now when I take him to soft plays he has started to mix with the other children normally he would hide at the side . I can't thank the staff enough for all there hard work fantastic nursery would 100% recommend, Jill h

We already had an easy decision when we had to choose a nursery for our son because our daughter went here before and we had a great experience with this nursery.Friendly and helpful staff. Always inform about the day of my son: what he played,what he ate,how much sleep he had and also informed me if he felt poorly.

I would recommend Dunkys to anyone looking for a nursery close to Culcheth

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.
