Dunkys Day Nursery (Runcorn)

My child has settled in extremely well at nursery after her mother being anxious, but my child gets very excited and starts clapping when you mention their key worker's name. The staff have been using my child's interests to help her settle and have answered any questions I or my partner have put forward.

We are very happy with our son's development since being in this nursery.

Always accommodating, friendly, helpful staff. Both my children love it here.

This is my second child to attend this nursery and I couldn't think of another place for my children to go. To hear my child telling me excitingly what they have been up to and eager to show me things inside the nursery is wonderful. The staff are amazing and are always very friendly and easy to talk to if you have any concerns.

Amazing place, my boy loves going into the nursery. Staff are caring, polite and helpful. Always a breakdown of what he has done during the day. Very happy with his progression over the years. Thank you to all.

My child thrives at nursery. They care for his development as a whole person, not just meeting development goals. He has made so many friends and loves coming to nursery. It would be good to have more contact with home about what's going well and what parents and staff can work together on, eg. building confidence and sharing.

Our son has attended Dunkys from 14 months old. We have experience of other nurseries but our son has thrived most at Dunkys. the staff are fantastic, including the chef, who gets involved with the children all the time (when not cooking, obviously). Our son is very advanced for his years through the hard work and commitment of the great Dunkys team. Dunkys retain their staff which speaks volumes. The other nursery did not and this led to in many ways it needing improvement. Stability in children's lives is vital in our view.

Both children eat everything put in front of them as the food is always homemade by the chef and really nice. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who needs to put their child in a childcare environment.

Absolutely love this nursery, I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. My eldest, who is nine now, went here from the age of two and now my three year old attends and loves every second of it. The staff, the food, the facilities - everything about it is great. Such a friendly and safe place. Both my children were brought on so much from attending this nursery and my youngest, who is one, will be going there too. Would recommend to everyone with children.

My other son's transition from baby room to toddlers has been structured very well. He loves going to nursery where everyone has a warm welcome. They are flexible with working families.

I could not recommend the manager and this fabulous team of caring nursery teachers any more to look after any baby or child.

Outstanding nursery with lovely staff who really get to know your children and interact so well with them. My daughters school commented on how ready for school she was and I feel this was helped by the excellent standard of care she received in nursery and my son is also extremely happy and he loves the staff and his friends at nursery, the all-inclusive price is brilliant as you don’t need to worry about nappies and bottles, food and milk are prepared freshly on-site and the children have a lovely meal. They also really listen to parents and take on any feedback. It’s a lovely setting and id recommend to any parent in Runcorn looking for a nursery for their child. They are also very flexible with shift patterns/term time only and also are very accommodating and do all they can to help.

Honestly can not explain how great this nursery is. Honest, reliable and friendly staff. I have never experienced a day where my little one does not want to go in, she absolutely adores the staff and loves going in every day. Very secure which is very important. I would highly recommend have a look around to see for yourself just how great this nursery is.

My child has attended Dunky’s in Runcorn since he was a baby. The staff at Dunky’s are so lovely and have supported me and my child through so much! I will be sad to say goodbye in the summer when my child takes the next step in his journey moving on to school. I have another little boy who is older and attended a different nursery when he was younger. Although the other nursery was lovely, as were the staff, I can not express how much Dunky’s excels. I have never felt uncomfortable leaving my child as I know he is in safe hands. Although some mornings he wants me to stay with him, when I have to leave and he becomes upset, they are there by his side comforting and supporting him. I sometimes stand outside of the room and watch to see that he settles before I leave. I see how they distract him with the things they know he enjoys and within minutes of me leaving he is calm. If I ever have any more children they will be going to Dunky’s and I really do recommend it to everyone.

Outstanding nursery and out of school club. Couldn't be more at ease with my children coming here. My boys love it. They make every effort to make children feel welcome and comfortable. All the staff have a real passion for the children's learning, growth, care and safeguarding. Thank you girls.

Thank you so much.

Dunkys have looked after both my little boys for the past five years and throughout those years they have come on leaps and bounds both physically and socially. I feel the staff at Dunkys go above and beyond to provide the highest/best education and care possible. Staff at Dunkys support both children and parents in their worries, needs and routines. I cannot fault the management and the food provided at snack and meal times is outstanding.

Everyone makes sure they go above and beyond always.

Also has lovely food that my baby can't get enough of!

I have had 2 children attend Dunkys Nursery Runcorn and would highly recommend it to others. The staff are amazing with the children and are always very approachable and welcoming. Both of our boys have thrived whilst attending Dunkys and this is due to the whole ethos and atmosphere at the nursery, from management to the girls working in the different rooms. Communication with parents is good on a daily basis and also during parents evenings where we are well informed about where our child is at within the stages of development. The children also love getting involved with various fundraising events and special occasions on the calendar.
