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.

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.

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.

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.
My child has attended for 1 year and 2 months and he loves it! My child has shown some slow development but soon as I placed him at this nursery he has developed more faster and shown impressive improvements. The staff are caring, friendly and well trained. I recommend this nursery very highly.

My son used to go to Dunky's before he started school and now my daughter attends. She feels so secure and happy even at such a young age and I feel confident that she is receiving excellent care from the team. They go out of their way to ensure childcare is stress-free for parents and are so flexible, allowing her to do extra days when needed. They ensured her dietary needs were dealt with as she was gaining tolerance to milk and invest time in getting to know children's personalities and specific needs.
My son has been at Dunky’s for two years now since he was 12 months old, and now my daughter is also there and has been for the last five months. The staff are very informative kind and caring towards my children. I would highly recommend it.

My little ones love coming and have settled in brilliantly. They have come on so much in terms of their speech and social skills. Whenever I pick them they always talk about how much they’ve enjoyed their day.
I find the staff get on well together and nothing is ever too much trouble. I feel they’ve given my little ones a brilliant start and I’ll be sad to leave there when they start school. Thank you to the manager and the girls for looking after them and helping them develop so much. I’d definitely recommend them as they are brilliant.
This nursery is outstanding, my son has attended now for over a year and has come on so much, the staff work extremely hard and ensure that the children are well-cared for. Communication between staff and me, as a parent, is second to none. I couldn’t have wished for a better nursery for my son. I...

Communication between staff and me, as a parent, is second to none. I couldn’t have wished for a better nursery for my son. I will be extremely sad to see my son move on to school. I can't thank the staff enough for all the support and nurturing highly recommend Dunkys to anyone.

It’s a great nursery that cares so much for my child. The introduction of the Famly app has been great and it is fantastic to see what my son is doing throughout the day. Would highly recommend!

The management is fantastic, making me feel like a part of a big family. I am sad and heartbroken already that my daughter has to go to reception school from September 2020.

We have used this nursery for nearly 12 months. The nursery is always clean to high standards. All staff are very welcoming and caring. My daughter's key worker is brilliant, I get plenty of updates about the progress my daughter is making. There are plenty of activities for the children and we get lots of photos sent home and arts and crafts that my daughter has completed. It has a lovely outdoor safe space to play. The management team at the nursery are great and always willing to help with all needs. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough! My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has built great trusting relationships with staff as well as making lots of friends who she often speaks about at home. She has developed amazingly since attending nursery.
My child has attended this nursery for a year now and he loves to talk about all the things he has done with his friends and the teachers in his room. He has built lovely relationships with all members of staff and on the way to and from the nursery will talk about how he can't wait to go again!...

He has built lovely relationships with all members of staff and on the way to and from the nursery will talk about how he can't wait to go again! After been shown around by the manager I came out confident this was the right setting for my child and she really knew her stuff, answering any questions I had. I would recommend this nursery highly!

My son has been going to the nursery since he was about 8 months old, he is now 4 years old. Having had 3 children I can honestly say they are the best nursery I've used, my son loves it, in fact, sometimes takes me a while to get him out to go home. The staff are amazing they give me a full rundown on what he has done in the day and the new app they started using is good I can see pictures posts, seen what he has eaten and I can message staff members including management about any issues, they keep us up to date with any illnesses within nursery and are just amazing would highly recommend.
My little girl has come on in leaps and bounds since joining Dunkys.
All the staff are brilliant too!!
