About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Accommodated my son really quickly, the staff are all amazing and lovely people! I know my son is well looked after when he's in their care and I don't have to worry about him while I'm at work. My son has allergies and they have very strict and stringent policies around the food they serve and kids with allergies, this instantly put me at ease along with the fact they have great policies and procedures relating to safeguarding the kids in their care. I couldn't recommend a better nursery and I'm so glad I chose this one, the staff and managers alike all have the same goal at heart and go above and beyond for the kids in their care. The nursery is clean and tidy and the outdoor areas they have are amazing! If you are looking for a nursery look no further you've found the best one around by far.
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback.

Working in a nursery myself, finding a nursery for my son to go to was a big challenge and I wanted that special feeling of this is the one when I first walked in. After looking around many different ones I finally got this feeling walking into Dunkys Warrington and there was no doubt in our minds that this was the nursery we wanted to send our little boy to. I had never seen my son feel so comfortable somewhere with complete strangers in the first 5 minutes of a show around. This is a massive reflection of how welcoming the staff are. That was over a year ago and he still runs in full of smiles to this day and loves his time there. The staff are all amazing and always welcome you with a smile. I love that all the staff seem to know all the children in the nursery and not just the ones in their room as well as the manager knowing each individual child and is always so approachable. I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my little boy and soon my daughter will start to attend to it.
Thank you for your lovely review. We really appreciate your feed back.
After putting my little boy in nursery at just 4 months I was very nervous about leaving him, the staff were really good and told me all about his days when I picked him up which made me feel a lot better and put my mind at rest, He’s built a lovely relationship with staff and enjoys his days there!

My two years old has developed really well since he is attending this nursery, really happy with our choice and definitely the staff has our maximum appreciation as I can feel that he enjoys spending time with them, he is very happy to chat with me about how the day was at the nursery and never said anything bad and always keen to speak about his feelings and how the days went.

My son started at Dunkys in the baby room just after he turned 1, he’s now moved up to toddlers and absolutely loves it. He’s so excited when we pull up and full of smiles at the end of the day, it’s so clear that he’s well looked after there. There’s so much for them to do and at pick up and drop off it’s really clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and are excited when they’ve done something new or hit a new milestone which is lovely to see! The app is great as you get regular pictures/ updates of what they’ve been up to and a lot of detail on what they’ve eaten, slept etc. Definitely recommend!
Thank you for such a lovely review it is really appreciated

Thank you Claire for the lovely feedback. We appreciate it so much.
What a wonderful place to start your child's education, from the moment they walk it it's a sensory heaven. My grandson loves the rabbits and he's coming on leaps and bounds, the staff are so friendly and approachable and I will be sure to recommend them to anyone needing childcare .

I can't say anything bad about this nursery. I took my baby to a show around having no expectations of starting him straight away as I’m a very anxious parent. He started the following week and I just love everything about it. The rooms are laid lovely, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. I would 1000% recommend this nursery. I worked at multiple nurseries myself but this nursery definitely stands out.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback which means so much to our staff.
The staff were very welcoming, they made the whole admission process very easy. My Child's meal was put into consideration, especially for the fact that he is picky with his meals. I look forward to a very fruitful academic year. Cheers Dunky's Day Nursery Warrington WA5

All the staff are very welcoming and happy everyday. My boys always look forward to coming into nursery, they talk about the activities and staff positively at home. My oldest likes the trips they take and I'm really happy with the food available for meal times.

Thank you so much for your review Jonathan, we really appreciate it.
I am very happy with the nursery! The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my son! The daily activities are helping my son to socialise, and having lots of play time. I am happy that I have chosen this place as I feel my son is in safe hands.

My child has settled in so well here since joining at 8 months old, he has made amazing bonds with all of the staff and is always so happy to arrive in the morning. The staff are all a credit to the nursery and you can tell they really care about the children.

Cannot think of a better nursery in Warrington, kind, caring and committed to the best quality care for our little ones! When my son started at Dunkys the staff were amazing with him and after only four months of being at the nursery, we had enough evidence to diagnose my son! I would like to say thank you to my child's key worker, she is absolutely amazing with my son and has an amazing understanding of his sensory needs and his behaviour. Also to the deputy manager for coming to Team Around the Family meetings and well as hosting them in the nursery. The manager also sat down with me and spoke me through forms to help with my son. She has been amazing. Myself and my son are going to be so so sad when he leaves this year. My only judgement is I didn't start him at Dunkys sooner!
Thank you so much, Kailey, for your review; it was a pleasure looking after him.
Nothing is too much trouble for the ladies here. We did a few extra settling-in sessions as my little boy wasn't overly keen on leaving me at first. Now he's happy when we pull up outside. They've been so good with us!

Being able to receive the updates on the app throughout the day is amazing as it means I can check in with how she's getting on through the day and on pick up I get a nice update of what she's been up to. So happy with the decision to put her into Dunkys!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your review.
Fantastic nursery, they keep you updated with everything related to your child. I know my child is in safe hands, lovely staff, great facilities, good space with different rooms. I'm so glad I picked this nursery!

My eleven-month-old baby attends this nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing and my baby always partakes in many different activities. Nothing is ever too much trouble for these girls. This is my second child now to attend Dunkys.
