Our little boy has been with Dunkys (Sankey) since he was 8 months old and has excelled massively. Could not thank all the staff enough here for the amazing work they do every day. We're so glad we chose this nursery. He absolutely loves going in everyday. Each staff member goes above and beyond and would recommend this nursery to anyone! Thank you Dunkys Sankey.

Our son has attended this nursery for 3 years now and sending him here was by far one of the best decisions we have ever made. He has progressed so so much and has benefitted him massively. All the staff are so friendly, approachable and professional, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Dunky's to anyone looking to send their child to a nursery.

We're so glad that we chose Dunkys Sankey for our two. The staff are excellent and clearly care about them as if they were their own. Communication at drop off and pick up is great and we love hearing about what they have been up to during the day. The children clearly love it there and are always happy, sometimes running in without even a wave goodbye - which as much I'd love them to say bye, I'm so glad to know that they are happy and comfortable there! We couldn't recommend them more!

Our little boy has been with Dunkys Sankey since June 2024 and we couldn't ask for better. He is a wonderfully sociable and kind little boy and I'm certain a lot of it is because of the guidance Dunkys provides. Just a couple of heartwarming examples: I love that the children all eat meals together like family like we do at home, they are aoutsode and learning about the world around them as much as possible to experiences we just couldn't provide like having a deaf choir come to share their music with the children! In September he also had the chance to visit a local care home and really be a part of the community. He LOVED it. He is so well cared for and the staff are wonderful. They've even helped me through every single one of my neurotic first time mum worries. We love it so much that despite moving further away we refuse to move him as he loves the nursery so much.

Our daughter has just finished her first year at Dunkys and moved from the baby room to the toddler room. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how her first year has been in the baby room and especially with the care from her key person. The whole team in the baby room have been brilliant, and in particular her key person has been exceptional. From the first taster session we went on, her key worker put us at ease with the day-to-day life in Dunkys and answered all our questions, and from then on her bond with our daughter only grew stronger. She is so kind and caring, and very very good with the children. Our daughter is excited in the mornings to go to nursery, and is always in a good happy mood when we pick her up - she absolutely loves her time there. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dunkys to friends or family based on our own fantastic experience!

My son started here less than a month ago, the staff made him feel so nice and welcome, they are super supportive during this time of big adjustments. My child seems to enjoy the nursery, the staff are super nice and he seems to trust the ladies who take care of him which makes me feel very reassured that he is safe and well taken care of. He is dairy and egg-free due to allergies and the staff have made sure that his breakfasts lunches and tea are dairy and egg-free and he seems to enjoy the food here which is great! Overall we are having a great experience and I would recommend Dunky Day Nursery to anyone looking for a great childcare provider.

We've had a wonderful experience, from the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere was evident. The staff are caring and professional, ensuring each child feels safe and engaged. The facilities are bright, clean, and well-organised, with excellent outdoor play areas. The staff's dedication to creating a nurturing and educational environment is outstanding. Our son thrives here, excitedly sharing his daily experiences. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that keep us connected to our son's activities. The nursery values parent feedback and fosters a strong partnership. Their approach to nutrition and health is commendable, offering nutritious meals and maintaining high hygiene standards. Overall, we highly recommend Dunkys Day Nursery (Warrington) it is a nurturing and supportive place for any child.

The staff are lovely and extremely informative when doing handovers. We’ve had no problems whatsoever hence coming back to Dunkys with my second child. I personally like how they have helped with the weaning process and been encouraging when I’ve had doubts about what I should be giving at what age. Excited for my little one to grow up there.

We have 2 children at Dunkeys Sankey, 1 in the baby room and 1 in the preschool room. They love their time there and we feel very comfortable sending them to Dunkeys. All the ladies working there are caring and take the time to know the children, their likes, dislikes and how to comfort them. Our boys are very close and we love how the ladies understand this and allow both of them to see each other through the day, this is usually over the garden fence. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Dunkeys for the care and attention they give to our boys.

I have 2 children at Dunkys, Sankey and wouldn’t dream of sending them anywhere else. My eldest has just graduated and his bond with the staff has been lovely, he has progressed well throughout his time there. My youngest child is 1 and has had issues medically, the Dunkys team have been so amazing and reassuring. My child has really settled in and built fantastic relationships with the staff, he is happy and excited to go to nursery in the morning. The staff have been amazing with any medication he has and really ensured all his needs are met. We as a family highly Recommend Dunkys to anyone. It’s a fantastic nursery and your children will have the best time and be given the best care.

The staff are wonderful and he has formed great bonds with them all. I have recommended Dunkys to all of my friends!

Amazing staff, very professional, friendly and supportive. My little boy really enjoys going - he is straight in the door when I drop him off. I was recommended by a friend, and I'm really glad I put him in Dunky's.

This nursery has been excellent for both my children. My daughter who is now 5 loved it there and would happily go back. My son who is 18 months loves it also. The staff are very friendly and go out of there way to be helpful. The nursery is very nice inside and very clean. The garden is also perfect with the fake grass so no mud. There is lots of outdoor equipment and toys for the kids to engage in. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

Fabulous nursery. My daughter started Dunky's when she was 10 months, old back in 2019. I felt very comfortable leaving her with all of the staff, one member in particular in the baby room who is very kind and helpful and was just amazing with her. After returning from covid I was worried that she wouldn't settle back in, we had tears beforehand, but the manager and her team have done an excellent job of making sure she enjoys the day and her fussy eating is attended to. Thank you to all, she has come on leaps and bounds and is definitely in good stead for when she will start primary school Sep 2023.

I think for any family, sending their baby to nursery after maternity leave is so overwhelming and an anxious time for everybody. After viewing several nurseries, we chose Dunky's Day Nursery (Sankey) due to the family and homely feel that we got when we visited. We really wanted the nursery to be a home-from-home experience for our baby and I think this is exactly what we have got. Staff really go above and beyond to suit our needs, communication is very effective and our son is so happy at nursery which is our priority. We can't thank the team at Dunky's enough for such a beautiful first half term and we can't wait to see what else our boy learns during his nursery journey. Thank you all so much.

Fabulous and friendly staff have made our son feel both welcome and secure at the nursery he loves to attend. He joined at 18 months and has come on leaps and bounds. I’m really impressed and would highly recommend.

Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! My daughter was 12 months when she started and she loves going. The girls that take care of her always show how much they care and my daughter has made very good attachments to them. All the staff are lovely people. Never have I felt uneasy putting my daughter here.
