Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've been very satisfied with the nursery. After my nephew absolutely loved his time here, it was the only nursery we wanted our own child to go to. The staff have been so welcoming and friendly helping to settle my little one in. They have gone above and beyond to get to know and implement the little
things which make him feel comfortable and secure throughout the day. Being a first-time mum, I've felt totally reassured that all his needs are being met, he seems to have loved his time here so far!

My daughter was going to a different nursery and she was mistreated there and we moved into Dunkys in January and she is much happier and taken care of.
She loves the staff and her friends.
We are really satisfied and happy to find such a great nursery for our daughter, soon my son will join.
Thank
you!

Outstanding nursery! My daughter started in September and they settled her in well and made her feel so welcome! Everyone is so friendly there. I couldn't fault it at all. They constantly have activities going on and keep parents informed really well. When my daughter isn't at nursery she asks when
she is next going!

The staff are lovely, the most caring and understanding girls I know. Always kind and smiling. My son loves each of them to bits. While he struggled to come to the nursery in the beginning they were very patient with him. They always give him lots of cuddles to calm him down.
Also, they teach kids
many interesting and useful things. Couldn't ask for a better nursery for my son. Highly satisfied and I would recommend them 1000%.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child moved over from a different nursery in November and she moved over with ease as everyone that I spoke to or worked with went above and beyond to help her settle in her new nursery by updating me with her progress constantly and asking me about home life to keep her progression going. All staff
have been very accommodating to both mine and my child's needs during a stressful move over, making it such an easy process.

My son has come on so much in the couple of months he has been there. His speech is really coming along and he seems to have developed a real little personality! He adores going to nursery and gets excited when we pull up outside and he knows he’s going in. Amazing nursery and staff! Couldn’t be happier!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is fantastic I have sent my two-year-old to this nursery as I sent my now seven-year-old to the nursery. I cannot fault the nursery at all they have been incredible with both my children, my child who currently attends settled really well and really quickly. He enjoys all the meals made
by the nursery, I get observation updates on him he loves it, he loves the outside area of the nursery. The nursery manager and deputy manager have been amazing always keep in contact with me and the staff have been amazing with him in the toddler room. The girls of Dunkys Warrington just keep doing what you're doing you're all amazing thanks for all you do.

Staff are absolutely amazing; they are so welcoming and friendly. I know my child is in safe hands with them; she is treated like a family member to them! It has that extra touch, which I love. They will always try and help out where they can do and for those unexpected last-minute changes. No issues
whatsoever. Thank you for being great!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really fantastic nursery. My son's last nursery, unfortunately, had to close so I was worried about how he’d settle into a new one. To be completely honest, Dunkys Day Nursery wouldn’t have been my first pick...it wasn’t that I’d heard anything bad, it’s just that the sign outside isn’t great and
the building looks a bit run down. Turns out you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover as the rooms inside are lovely and well-maintained.
The staff at Dunkys (Warrington) were really great at reassuring us both and making sure he settled in quickly. He comes home and tells me all about the fun he’s had with his friends and what toys he’s played with. His confidence has rocketed and his language has improved massively too. He’s a really picky eater at home but eats pretty much everything put in front of him at nursery! I’m looking forward to him moving to preschool in September and continuing to learn.
All the staff should probably get a Covid bonus/raise.

It was recommended by my partner's colleague to have a look at Dunkys Day Nursery - Warrington and the whole process from start to finish were easy and pleasant. Our little one absolutely loves it there and loves the staff so much; he doesn’t cry when he is dropped off. They keep us updated with everything
we need to be updated with, and the app is great to see his development.

We absolutely love the nursery! From the start, it was all very welcoming and they made us feel very comfortable and well informed about sending our baby here. We were able to take our baby for visits before sending him there to make him comfortable, we had no problems at all and we love having our
baby go here. All the staff are so lovely and caring, they look after our baby very well. I would 100% recommend anyone to this nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.859 for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.859
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
