Review from Kieran D (Father of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I drop my son off every morning and I am always greeted with friendly caring faces. My son has been very confused with recent events and a bit more nervous about leaving me in the morning but as soon as he gets to the door and sees his teachers, I can see the confidence build. They have always dealt with my son extremely well as he is a character. This nursery has been the best choice we made for our son and his first learning years. I’m sure he will never forget his teachers when he leaves. I know I won’t as he spends most of his day telling me how much his teachers are his best friends. The nursery overall is brilliant. It’s always clean and I feel my son has been safe there over the years. It will be a very sad day when he finally has to leave but I can’t thank the staff enough for what they have done for him.

Review from Carissa B (Mother of Child) published on 10 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since baby room and now he will be leaving preschool in September! There have been plenty opportunities to take my son out of this nursery as his sister attends a school closer to home and it has a nursery, making it more convenient for us to take my son and collect and be closer to his sister but the staff and the way my son has been treated over the years has been outstanding. It couldn’t bare thinking about taking him away from everyone there. My son has his favourites but they have all been amazing. The nursery is all-round top level.

Review from Chantelle (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery, lovely and helpful staff and amazing facilities. My child has been with Warrington Dunkys since she was a baby. She has had many illnesses, and dietary needs; all staff have always been extremely helpful and happy to help. The nursery are great communicators and are now even better with their new app system that allows you to check on what you child has eaten, if they have slept, their toileting, all throughout the day and also you get to see what they're up to - this has given me great comfort whilst I have been at work. My child also had a delay in her speech when she was in toddlers and the SEN lead made sure that she was referred to the speech and language team with urgency. I could honestly praise the nursery all day! I would recommend anybody to send their children here. From the management to nursery workers to the cooks. You're all fantastic, never change!

Review from Vicky (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl was at Dunkys from 2017 to 2019 and she loved it so it was only natural that when our little boy came along last year he went to Dunkys too. All the staff here have been amazing over the years and my daughter still has fond memories. Our little boy has settled in easily and I feel happy at work knowing that he is safe and extremely well cared for. The girls here show genuine love for the children and are obviously passionate about their careers. I love how big and spacious the nursery is, the garden area is amazing! Dunkys have always been flexible with us and this is really important with us both being shift workers. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone currently looking.

Review from Rachel A (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started here when he was nine months old and in four weeks time, he will be heading off to big school. Dunkys have done everything in their power to nurture, educate and grow my son into the fun, bubbly charismatic boy he is. They've provided a safe and fun environment, somewhere he's excited to go every day and that's what you want when leaving your child at nursery because their experience makes it's so much easier. The staff continue to build on their knowledge to ensure the children get the best care possible and they treat them all the same, as if they were their own. They support through difficult times and they guide as best they can and most importantly friendships are built. I will miss Dunkys and so will my boy but if I'm ever to have another child I know exactly where I'll be going for childcare. I take this moment to thank you for all your hard work in shaping my son into the boy he is today. Thank you for helping him to walk, talk and toilet train. Not all hero's wear capes.

Since we have had our son there we have felt so welcome. You feel like you are part of the whole family and can talk to staff on a personal level and not just strictly nursery talk. I would 100% recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Review from Jennifer C (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended this nursery for the past two years. Everyone is loving and friendly towards him. All staff seem to know all the children and the manager even remembers each child. I have experienced other nurseries in the past but this nursery feels like a family rather than a company.
My son has always been excited before attending nursery and this means that I can focus at work rather than worrying about him throughout my day. I have complete trust in them.

They are excellent at communication and they use an app online so you can track what's happening with your child throughout the day. All staff are approachable. The nursery is also flexible if you need extra sessions.

Staff here at Dunkys Day Nursery are more than satisfactory, very nice and cousy people, treating the kids as if they were their own. Children learn so many things and that's so great for us,parents. And the flexibility of the hours is so important for me and they are the best.

Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery, helped my child grow and find himself so much. My son was always a very quiet little boy, nervous to meet anyone but since starting Dunkys in January, he has become such a funny, loving child. The nursery involves him in so many activities and give a great food variety! I recommend this nursery to everyone I know. Great price too! Each member of staff takes time of their own to tell you all about your child's day within the nursery and what they are achieving and any questions are always answered. I can't wait to watch my child develop more as he continues his time here.

Overall Experience

The staff at Dunkys Warrington are outstanding! Our little boy has been there since he was 17 months old and he has always had the most fantastic care by all the staff alike. Our little boy loves going to nursery and always comes home with lots of tales of the fun day he’s had. As parents, we receive full updates on our little boy's day and we are more than grateful for the care and love the staff show him. We would, without any doubt, recommend Dunkys Warrington to any family who are looking for that “extra special” for their child. Thank you Dunkys for making our child both confident and happy.

I'm always grateful for the way all of the staff at Dunkys really listen, not just to me but my daughter too. They have been so supportive from when she started at one year old and just as much now as she's started preschool. Couldn't ask for any more. Fabulous nursery.

Review from Leah D (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wouldn't choose another nursery for my child to attend. The staff are the best of the best. So friendly and down to earth and you can see how much they love the children and vice versa it's lovely. I honestly couldn't ask for better people who are there for my daughter, have helped bring her and her little personality to develop! My daughter loves coming to nursery and they have a fantastic app which helps me see what my daughter has been doing at nursery, what she has eaten whilst attending and all information of what's going in the nursery. The manager I couldn't praise enough. Please don't ever get a new one! With my job not having set days each week this was no problem at all allowing me to ring in each week to give days for the following week. She's so approachable where I've found in some settings they haven't always been especially being a young mum I've felt she has been so supportive and not treated me any differently. Best nursery ever! You're doing fabulous each and every member.

My little one has been going to Dunky’s for 3.5 years and she loves every minute of it. They use a family app so that you get updates through the day on what your child has been doing including pictures. I’m so glad that this was the nursery I picked.

My child has only been going for around 6 weeks and already loves it here. Staff go that extra mile to ensure that you and your child are comfortable and happy here.
They have an app so you can see what they've been up to through the day including photos.

The nursery is very safe. Big outdoor space and CCTV.

Overall Experience

I’m very happy with the way my daughter has come on from starting at Dunkys, she was shy and didn’t speak much, wouldn’t play or anything, now she has come out her shell has come on leaps and bounds with her speaking, loves to play and cook and always comes home happy and telling me what she has done in nursery. I would tell anyone to put their kids here because it is the best of nursery’s and they all care for the children they look after it’s a family away from home.
