My son attended Dunkys for two years prior to going to school and he loved every minute of it. I was also very impressed with the daily care and structures they had in place. Following this, my daughter, who is one now, attends the nursery and again we are more than happy with the staff and nursery as a whole. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you again.

I can honestly say that while we spent considerable time researching and choosing a nursery, I couldn't be happier or more settled with our eventual choice.
Dunkys Culcheth has been excellent in supporting our son in his development and he really appears to enjoy attending nursery! As parents, we feel really content that our son is in the best hands. We chose Dunkys because of the attitudes of the staff and their caring approach to the children in their care, we feel very settled in the security of the children and the fact that all children seem to leave at the end of the day smiling!
I would highly recommend Dunkys to anyone looking for childcare for their little ones - coming from a very fussy mummy!
Thank you again.

My son moved from another nursery due to a ridiculous rise in fees. We moved him to Dunkys as I’d been recommended there. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. I’ve never seen my child so happy to go into a nursery every day. There are never any tears (there was at the last one) and he’s always so happy when he comes home. The staff are all so lovely and you can really see how much they care about the children!
Thank you again.

The baby room team have been amazing at helping my son settle into his new surroundings. The girls in the baby room are lovely and caring, they work very well and support both my son and us, as parents, so we are all on the same page when it comes to our son’s development. It has been hard for my son as he is having contact with so many new people for the first time, but everyone in Dunkys is patient and they are doing the best they can to help him settle. We love it there - it's nice, it's cosy and one of our favourite things is they have a pet bunny in the nursery which all kids love and take care of.
The staff are very caring, friendly and patient and know what they're doing and they are able to give our son the attention he needed, as well as the other lovely young children. My son is in the baby group. A huge bonus is that they provide nappies, wipes, snacks and properly cooked meals!
Staff are wonderful here, my son has autism and they have been amazing supporting him, they are on the ball getting him ready for school in September. Nothing is too much trouble and my son loves it here, staff are caring and go above and beyond especially encouraging him to try new foods.
We recently moved our son to Dunkys from another nursery and he settled in amazingly. The staff are fantastic and our son is much happier since being here. It's a lovely place and we would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We have loved having your little one with us and we are so happy he has settled so well.
Upon moving to the nursery the staff literally couldn’t do any more to ensure we as a family felt supported and heard. Nothing has ever been too much trouble.
I’m so happy as a parent at our choice of nursery and I have no doubt our daughter will continue to amaze us due to this setting.
Thank you for such a lovely review! These words mean so much to us.
My son has really enjoyed the time he spends at nursery. All the staff are great. His keyworker is amazing with him and his needs, and she has brought him on so much. She is really engaged with him and his needs, recognising when outside help was needed for him but then helping him to develop. She's aware of his ways and his fussy eating habits and always takes these in mind when dealing with him and helping him try new things and situations. Can not thank her and the team for all their efforts with him and for bringing him on so much.
Thank you for such a lovely review! It has been amazing watching your little one grow and develop into the wonderful little boy he is.
I love the style of learning they follow (more children led) his previous nursery seemed very ‘by the book’ and it felt more about ‘ticking boxes’, whereas at Dunkys I feel he is much more interested in the activities as they base it around things the children talk about or have perhaps done at home or on days out.
I think this style of learning is a testament to the staff too as they quickly adapt activities ensuring they are educational and relevant.
My daughter will be starting at Dunkys shortly and I’m looking forward to seeing her progress over the years.
This is a great place for my kid. Since he started I can see a lot of improvement. The staff is great. I'm happy with Dunkys Day Nursery and would highly recommend. My kid is happy to go there. Everyone is friendly.
My son came to this nursery after leaving a much larger nursery. He absolutely loves this nursery and runs in smiling every day whereas before he used to cry at his old nursery. The staff are all amazing and very attentive with the children. My son loves it and wakes up asking to go to nursery every day. The staff are extremely patient with my son as he’s not the best at eating and is extremely fussy. Would highly recommend this nursery.
My daughter's development has taken leaps since starting at Dunkys Day Nursery. We are really happy with everything they do and my daughter skips in no problem. Everyone is super friendly and really dedicate their time to ensure they really get to know all the children.
Both my daughter and son attend Dunkys Day Nursery. My daughter is due to leave in July ready for school after spending two years here and she doesn’t want to leave and have to start school. My son is due to move into preschool in September moving from toddlers. He too loves it here! They both run straight in with massive smiles on their faces. The staff are so lovely and friendly, couldn’t imagine my children anywhere else.
Lovely nursery, my son loves it here, the staff are friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. They have always made me feel comfortable leaving my son with them. I would highly recommend.
My two daughters both attend Dunkys Day Nursery in Culcheth, we attended an open day they held of the off chance and found it to be a pleasure, then my children have settled in rather well and the staff go the extra mile always willing to help. One of my children has an extra need and until recently the nursery team needed to do extra care and I’m pleased to say she is looked after, her talking has come on and her confidence is amazing to see. They want to go to nursery even on weekends.
A wonderful nursery with a fantastic team. My son is so happy going here - he has even asked over our Christmas break if he can go in to play! The communication and professionalism amongst the team is brilliant and they look after the children fantastically. I could not fault them; it has been a difficult year with the Covid pandemic but they have been excellent at navigating during this difficult time.
Great nurser,y lovely staff, my daughter loves going, and she loves every member of staff. They put her at ease when she first started and was nervous, now she has no problems or tears going in. Would recommend 100%.
Dunky's is a well organised, professional nursery. They are very friendly with excellent communication skills. They care about the children and their development which is vital for any parent. I would recommend any parent to visit the nursery to see for themselves.
Dunkys Day Nursery Culcheth is an incredible Nursery. The manager and the staff are always welcoming and accommodating and the care given to the children is second to none. Two members of staff in the baby room take care of my little boy as their own and there is never a day when my little boy isn't excited to go and doesn't leave with the biggest smile on his face. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you ever so much, this means the world to us here at Dunkys. Care and development is vital to our little ones and we will go above and beyond for all our families in the best possible way that we can. Thank you for being a part of Dunkys family.
