View Full Details of Dunkys Forest School @ GulliversMy Son loves going to Dunky's Gulivers. It's a great setting, really well set up for child led learning. The staff are fantastic and I receive regular updates from them on how my Son is doing throughout the day.
What a wonderful nursery! my son has the best time learning and exploring in the forest. The team have been amazing and really helped my son to develop and explore his love of the outdoors. My son isn't the type of child that enjoys conventional learning, so it's been brilliant that he has been learning without even realising it most of the time. We are certainly going to miss Forest school now that we are moving on to 'big school' but we will certainly be back during the school holidays.
We love forest school! My son started forest school at Gulliver's when his funding kicked in. He settled so well and all the staff were incredible helping him to feel comfortable. We have recently increased his hours as he is thriving at forest school. My son comes home with lots of exciting stories about his fun day in the forest. He has made lots of new friends and enjoys telling about all the staff he loves. The team at Dunkys forest school have been amazing in supporting my son with his extra needs and considerations. I really appreciate the updates I get via phone call and the family app to let me know he his safe and well. Thank you so much
My daughter, who has ASD, has always had a wonderful experience at Forrest Club. The staff are consistently kind, supportive, and welcoming, and she always comes home happy, engaged, and fulfilled. We book on each half term / school holiday!
My daughter loves being outside and kicking her shoes off so this place is great for her. Since starting 2 months ago she's already less bothered about being wet, muddy and the rain! She's continually looking for bugs, sticks, leaves etc, exploring the environments around her. The staff are friendly and approachable.
My 3.5 year old usually attends Dunkys Great Sankey but throughout summer has been doing some days at the Forest School at Gullivers, and she absolutely LOVES it. Every time we pick her up she asks if she can come back tomorrow. The fresh air and outdoor activities are perfect for her, and so well thought out. She loves the staff there too especially one staff member in particular who she talks about a lot :) if there is availability I'll be continuing to send her hopefully one day a week! I'm only rating the food provided as 4* because we provide a packed lunch but if the lunch was included I'd rate that 5* too. Overall though everything else is 5* from my point of view.
We were initially nervous about signing our son up for forest school after he had struggled to settle in a previous childcare setting, but it has turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The outdoor setting is perfect for his active nature, giving him the freedom to explore, play, and burn off energy. He now runs in happily without even stopping to say goodbye, and often cries when it's time to leave because he doesn't want the day to end! At home, his love for forest school continues - he plays "forest school" with us, insisting we become the workers while he re-creates his favourite activities. It's clear how much the experience means to him. The staff have been incredible throughout, taking time to reassure us, keeping us updated through the app, and always going above and beyond to support him. Forest school has given our son joy, confidence, and a place where he can truly be himself. We couldn't be more grateful.
Our little boy absolutely loves Forest School. He attends once a week and it's great to see what he gets up to whilst he's there. The staff set up lots of different activities with the little ones, including water play, physical obstacle courses, painting and learning about the forest wildlife. The staff are lovely and really care! Our son has a great relationship with his key worker. We get regular updates on our Son's progress, including regular parents evenings. We cannot recommend the Forest School enough!
My daughter loves coming here, it's her favourite day of the week, the outside space and facilities they have is amazing. She always comes home with something crafty she has made, or talks about all the different activities she has been up to. The staff are so lovely and supportive, would 100% recommend.
I Honestly can't praise this nursery enough. My 3 year old granddaughter attends the Forest School at Dunky's and loves the outdoor learning It has given her confidence and freedom to learn and explore to build a lifelong love for nature. Truly amazing staff that go about and beyond everyday. Highly recommend this amazing Forest School for children that love being outdoors!
My son ADORES Forrest school. Outside learning and playing, no matter the weather- what more could he want? The girls are so welcoming and they genuinely take an interest in your child. Updated regularly with details of what fun things they've got up to! I love it and so does my Son x
My daughter attends forest school as part of her nursery experience and my son has attended as part of holiday club. They both thoroughly enjoy their time here and they are always excited to tell us about their adventures at the end of the day. The staff here are nothing other than amazing, so supportive not just with the children but with parents too. This is such a brilliant setting to learn, the facilities are exceptional and the activities they take part in are creative and fun. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending forest school.
My daughter loves forest school! She looks forward to it every week. The staff are brilliant with the kids and you can tell they really care. She always comes back happy, a bit muddy, and full of stories. It's such a great way for her to learn and build confidence while being outdoors in nature! It's a really lovely place.
