The women within this nursery made me feel so at ease with the transition of putting our little girl into nursery! Admits all the tears on both sides, our angel is now thriving and getting so good at being around people due to being in nursery and she's just loving it! Couldn't recommend the nursery
enough!x

Our Son has been going to Dunkys for around 4 months now and he absolutely loves it, we had a little wobble after a month of so when he started to get seperation anxiety as we dropped him off but this didn't last long as he absolutely loves all the staff there, they are very attentive to him and
quickly learnt his name and his personality which helped us feel a lot better about leaving him in their care
The updates we get about him really show the amount of love and care they give to each child and the chef cooks for them like royalty, some of the meals they get make us jealous!
Since going to nursery he has came on a long way, constantly hitting his milestones and it feels like he has learnt something new every week which is a testament to the staff

My daughter started to attended Dunkys (Runcorn) in January 2026
I am thrilled to say with help from all of the wonderful staff my daughter has settled in well and is starting to build great relationships.
Since starting I believe she has received a high quality of care and this has impacted her
confidence and social skills massively!
A huge thank you and well done to all of the staff at Dunkys!

My baby boy has just finished his first month at Dunky's and I could not be happier with our choice of nursery for him. From the minute we viewed it we knew it was the one, as all of the staff made such a good impression.
They have all made us feel so comfortable about the transition into leaving
our boy in nursery. Treating him as their own and providing us with constant updates and information. Even on his settling in days we could stay for as long or little as we felt comfortable.
Even now, he has only been there for a month and he is already so comfortable. I love how the staff know his personality already and are just so attentive to him and what he needs.
I couldn't recommend the nursery enough an am so grateful that he has a place he loves so much.

My little girl recently started at Dunky's and she is absolutely loving it. She hasn't left my side for the past 2.5 years, so I was really anxious about how she would settle especially as she often becomes upset when being left with family, never mind at nursery.
The staff at Dunky's go above
and beyond to make sure every child feels comfortable and happy. They take the time to get to know each child individually. What toys they like, what activities they enjoy and focus on getting them excited for their day rather than upset about being away from their parents.
In just the month she's been attending, I've already seen such a positive change in her. She's eating more (and even trying new foods!) and seems so much more confident in herself. The nursery has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and I have complete trust that my baby girl is being cared for to the highest standard.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, it truly is the best.

My son loves going to Dunky's nursery and is always very excited when he sees any member of staff. They are all so enthusiastic and caring with the children and keep parents well informed of their childs developments and activities during the day. The children's Day is always packed with something
fun, from sensory play, arts and crafts to outdoor exploring, it's fantastic! My other children attended different nurseries and Dunky's is by far the best, I'm so glad I chose to send my son here. Thankyou so much to all at Dunky's!

Couldn't recommend this nursery anymore, the staff are absolutely amazing and show so much care and love to the children, still being so new to the nursery I was so nervous however all the staff have gone above and beyond to settle both my nerves and make my son feel so welcome he absolutely loves
going and made such great relationships with staff and new friends I'm so glad we made the decision to come here
01 October 2025
Staff are fantastic they keep you updated with how you're child is getting on through the day including what they have eaten etc. They are supportive and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this nursery

I couldn't be anymore happier with the nursery my son struggled to settled in the past with childminders but he started here the beginning of September by day 2 he was so settled I couldn't fault the staff what so ever in the nursery they all go above and beyond to ensure the children are well
looked after and safe in their care! Couldn't of picked a better nursery for my boy
24 September 2025
My little boy absolutely loves going to Dunky's. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and have helped him to settle in so well! I couldn't ask for a better nursery for my little boy, he's come out of his shell so much since starting only a few weeks ago and has become so much more confident.

My daughter has recently started at Dunkys and I'm so glad she has, definitely the best decision in choosing Dunkys! We viewed different nurseries and Dunkys provided us with the most warm and caring greeting that reassured placing our daughter at Dunkys. The staff team are compassionate, thoughtful
and dedicated in everything they do. Dunkys provide a diverse setting meeting my daughters additional needs and always celebrate wins (no matter how big or small). They have taken the time to fully understand and know my daughter, her diagnoses, her likes and dislikes and are eager in supporting her development. I am so thankful for the team at Dunkys and for providing my daughter with a educational, safe and fun environment. The communication and collaboration in working with my daughter has been incredible and with my hand on my heart I cannot thank the whole staffing team enough for how greatful we are as a family, keep the amazing work up, your outstanding it what you do!!

Faultless provision, excellent outdoor space. Staff are welcoming to parents and children. Management are very helpful and kind as is the nursery chef and has great advice on weaning and nutrition. The building is very secure and clean, it's a wonderful environment for children to grow and the
happiness of the staff and children says it all I would 100% recommended this Nursery.

My daughter has been at Dunkys for 3 months now & she absolutely loves it! I was so nervous about her starting but she has settled right in, the staff are outstanding, so welcoming and approachable. I feel at ease with regular updates/pictures on the app & can see what she has eaten/how much sleep
she has had.
Her development in all areas has come on leaps and bounds since she has started at the nursery, highly recommend them and cant thank the lovely staff & management enough.
04 September 2025
Honestly can not recommend this nursery enough. I have twins who attend 4 days a week and they have settled in so well due to the caring, loving and nurturing staff here at Dunkys Runcorn.
The manager is also amazing, always on hand to help no matter what the request!
Our nursery chapter has
only just begun and I am so excited to see how well my girls thrive in this wonderful place!

My child has recently started attending since June 2025 just before turning 12 months and my experience with nursery has been amazing. My child has grown in confidence, learnt new skills, follows instructions and developing really well which I feel has been through the benefit of attending the
nursey setting.
I did a show round when my child was around 3 months old and knew I didn't need to look elsewhere. Staff call if any worries, give updates throughout the day and upon pick up, every member of staff knows my child's name, which I think is huge as a parent.
I would recommend Dunkys Runcorn to any parent, lots of updates, lovely friendly staff, welcoming, fresh cooked meals but most importantly my child, although young enjoys it which is the main thing!
10 June 2025
I was so scared about my little boy starting nursery and I honestly couldn't ask for any better staff to look after him, he is thriving. They keep me updated with photos and always have time to tell me what he has done through the day.
My older boy went there so couldn't think of a better place
for him to go. Can't thank them enough and highly recommend them to anyone who's child is staring nursery!
10 June 2025
Our daughter has been looked after so well by all the staff at runcorn. ALL staff have always been kind and nothing is too much. She has learnt so much since being there and has became much more confident.
She eats a lot of food now that she wouldn't have eaten before and her dad is always quick
to mention when he comes home how nice the food smells on pick up! Thank you all staff
10 June 2025
Absolutely love this nursery.
They are all really brilliant with my daughter and each and every one of there staff are so friendly and very easy to talk to.
The "high tea" that my daughter has she eats all of it and I think there's a great variety of food that they give her.
10 June 2025
I've been really impressed with Dunkys nursery! My baby settled in quickly and has developed great connections with the staff. The team seems to be very caring and attentive, which has given me peace of mind while my little one is in their care. I would definitely recommend Dunkys to other parents
looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.
