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.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since 10 months old. We struggled at first but since she turned three, it's much easier. She likes the staff and we like them too as they are friendly and supportive. I will be very sad when she leaves for school. They arrange a lot of things to do every month so all of our children are entertained and occupied.
Thank you, Peter, we really appreciate your review. She is a pleasure to look after.
I love this nursery as all the staff know what they are doing. They are all so helpful, funny and so gentle with the kids. Price is manageable and opening times help us a lot as we are full-time workers.

My son has spent just a short time at Dunkys Warrington and settled in immediately. The second day he walked straight in and hardly looked back which is wonderful to see for a parent. It showed me he felt comfortable and welcome by the staff. When we talk about the school he says he wants to go and that he has lots of fun with both his friends and the staff. I love seeing the updates on the app and the Christmas Fayre was a fantastic day of fun and activities as a little reward for the children. Everyone works really hard to ensure the nursery is the best it can be. A big thank you to all for making the nursery a safe and warm environment for my little boy.
Thank you so much for your review Sarah, We really appreciate it. It is a privilege to look after your son.
Amazing nursery and my son has come on so much since he started and his confidence has gone up so much and the staff are amazing couldn't fault them. My son has made so many friends there as well and he is enjoying it so much.

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!
Thank you so much, Samantha, for a lovely review. It is a pleasure looking after him.

Thank you Attila we are so pleased that she enjoys her time at nursery.
Lovely setting, my girls enjoy going in and their speech is coming on leaps and bounds. Friendly and helpful staff that will always try to accommodate any requests. Three of my children have gone here and I wouldn’t use anywhere else.

Lovely nursery, all the staff are so friendly. My little one was a bit unsure and nervous at first, but they settled her in well and she now loves going. She has come on so well over the months since she started there.
