Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter currently attends here and has done from 8months old.
We were super nervous as we transitioned from a family of 3 to 4 this May, along with our daughter moving up to the toddler room around the same time.
The team were absolutely amazing in supporting all of us with this huge change, and
our little one is still thriving and loving nursery everyday.
I honestly can't thank the team enough individually and together they're just unbeatable and really a massive part of our family!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Back to the Garden in Altrincham has been absolutely fantastic for our two-year-old daughter - we couldn't be happier with the care, attention, and love she receives there. From the very beginning, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about each individual child and go the extra mile to support
their development in a nurturing, joyful environment.
Our daughter has a big personality, and knowing that this is embraced and celebrated by the team gives us such peace of mind. The staff clearly know her well, and it's so heart warming to see how fond she is of them - and her little friends too!
Back to the Garden nursery has helped shape her into a kind, thoughtful, and confident little girl. We also love the app - it's so reassuring to get daily updates with photos, meals, sleep times, toilet visits, and fun activities. We truly couldn't be happier with the care and love she receives here. A fantastic nursery!

We honestly couldn't be happier with Back to the Garden, it's been such a fantastic experience for both our son and us over the past year. We've seen so much growth in him - not just in his learning, but in his confidence, how he interacts with others, and just his general independence.
One thing we
really love is the app they use to keep us updated throughout the day. It's so reassuring (and lovely!) to see little photos and notes about what he's been up to - from messy play and story time to what he's had for lunch. It helps us feel connected even when we're not with him.
The staff are just brilliant, so kind, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. It really shows in how happy and settled our son is every day. They've taken the time to really get to know him, and they're always happy to chat and answer any questions we have.
Lastly we love how much time the children spend learning outside, our son absolutely loves it!

My son attends back to the garden lymm. He started there January 25. I was very nervous as a first time mum leaving him, but from the walk round and the settling days I knew he was going to be well looked after. The staff in the baby room couldn't do any more for me or my baby.
The app is fabulous
logs everything he is doing throughout the day from when he goes for a nap and what he has eaten. He has come on so much since starting nursery & that's from the help off the staff! I would highly recommend this amazing setting.

We'd heard great reviews before but the nursery has absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Every single employee we have met there has been absolutely incredible and so friendly, from the moment you walk through the door at reception to the staff in the kids room, everyone is so great. It is such
a lovely setting and they have amazing toys and activities for the kids but the staff definitely make it.
They let parents go in any time as well.
They are also brilliant during the weaning process, providing suitable purées to our little one who hasn't moved onto solids yet.
Communication is brilliant with constant updates and photos of the little one on the app. Can't recommend this nursery enough.

Our experience at Back To The Garden Childcare - Lymm (baby room) has been excellent. It was a big decision for us to move to another nursery (given our daughter attended a different local nursery for three years) but feel we have absolutely made the right decision and our son has settled in so well.
The team are wonderful, helpful, friendly and genuinely interested in the happiness and development of the children, the ladies in the baby room are a credit to Back To The Garden. Our son has significant allergies requiring an EpiPen, which has caused lots of anxiety for us, as parents, when considering a nursery setting but we have been so impressed with the way in which the whole team, including the chef, have put measures in place to ensure our son's safety and have generally dealt with the whole situation. I can only praise and thank the team for prioritising this and treating it with importance. The nursery is wonderful and we can't recommend it enough!

My son has attended Back To The Garden Childcare for almost two years now and we're pleased with the nursery.
Staff are caring, welcoming and friendly and always have time to give cuddles and comfort. My son is a sensitive soul and staff know his personality well, treating him as an individual and
know how to support him. The setting itself is beautiful, clean and welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Back To The Garden Childcare is just the loveliest nursery and we're so happy we decided to put our son in there.
He initially started going a couple of mornings a week and quickly settled in. The staff are so loving and caring and they have so much love for the children, with lots of cuddles and hugs.
My son talks about all the staff and runs up to them for cuddles in the morning at drop-off!
The food is always varied and looks amazing, I often log onto the app at lunchtimes and see they've had Thai fish curry or Moroccan stew or some other delicious-sounding dish that makes my ham sandwich sound very boring! My son will usually clear his plate and frequently has seconds.
The team plan amazing activities involving indoor and outdoor play, lots of crafts, lots of sensory activities and always a variety. His speech and development have come on leaps and bounds since going there.
In summary, I couldn't be happier with this wonderful nursery!

Excellent nursery. My son had a bad experience at a previous nursery and didn't settle. At Back To The Garden, he was given the time and space he needed to grow and develop. Friendships flourish there and the food is fabulous (I wish I ate there!). The nursery staff are kind and you genuinely feel they
want to be there with the children. I always recommend Back To The Garden I honestly can't fault it!

My little one loves attending Back to the Garden. The staff are caring, friendly and helpful, and he has made great relationships with lots of them. The resources and spaces are great, especially the outdoor areas, which the children access every day. We now get lots of updates and can see his learning
journey progress, what he eats, how he sleeps etc on the app which is very handy. The way he has come on since starting has been amazing to see. We can’t thank the staff enough and we would thoroughly recommend the setting to all.

I honestly don't have a single bad word to say about this place. My son has absolutely flourished since joining when he was 11 months old. He has built such strong relationships with both the staff and the children. The food choices are great, they do so many different activities. The outdoor space
is wonderful and is used by the children every day! I am currently in the process of trying to find a new nursery for my son, purely due to moving house. Massively struggling to find anywhere that even comes close to Back to the Garden! Will recommend this place to anyone who will listen. Amazing place. Thanks for everything guys.

We moved our child over to Back To The Garden Childcare Lymm from another provider we were having issues with. It was the best decision we ever could have made. All the staff are wonderful and are really invested in my child's happiness and growth. She now absolutely loves going to nursery in the morning
and it's sometimes a struggle to get her to leave! The food that is prepared is healthy and diverse and my daughter loves it. The entire experience has been designed with a lot of thought and care and you feel this when you walk in the door.

My daughter started at Back To The Garden in April. I have been so happy with how she has settled, the team in the baby room have been so accommodating and nurturing towards her and she has built such a wonderful bond with her key person, this is so comforting as a mum. She always has a smile on her
face when I collect. My husband and I absolutely love the app, you get regular updates throughout the day notifying you on sleep, bottles, nappies, what she's eaten at meal times etc, and regular pics/observations, I love checking it. The outdoor space is spectacular, I've never seen anything like it, so many opportunities for learning and risk-taking with their large climbing equipment and outdoor classroom in the teepee, it's just fab! The babies have their own garden area too which I really like, I can't wait for her to get walking and explore even more. Beautiful nursery with amazing staff, couldn't be happier! Would definitely recommend it!

I cannot put into words how pleased we are with our son's progress at Back To The Garden Childcare Lymm. The toddler and preschool teams have nurtured him, considered his interests at every level and worked with us on his fussy eating and now currently - potty training. The wide range of activities
he is involved with is amazing and we are encouraged to extend these activities at home. His speech has come on leaps and bounds along with his overall temperament and attitude. The staff go above and beyond here and are passionate and caring. We couldn't imagine him going anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our son to Back To The Garden Childcare in Lymm at the start of 2023 when his previous setting closed down. The entire setting was only built in late 2022 so the first impression is that it is state of the art, from the security to the play area and toys. Everything is new which is great. In
essence we have been so impressed and our son loves it. They have their own chef who does food preparation with the kids and the food choice is great. All the staff are so friendly and there seem to be so many activities every day from yoga to art. The location is away from main roads as well which I prefer. This is our third childcare setting between our 2 children, and I would definitely rank it as the best. I appreciate they are a new setting so looking to make a good impression to locals, but so far they seem excellent and deserve the recognition. Highly recommend.

Our little girl loves attending Back to the Garden, as soon as we pull into the car park she gets excited and starts to wave her arms and shout with excitement! From the moment we open the door, we are greeted with a big smile and hello from everyone in reception and rooms!
All the staff are fantastic
and really know my little girl and us as a family! This has been really important to me, she goes into nursery running and straight into the arms of the staff in her baby room! The team are always there to support us with any questions we have and we feel part of their Back to the Garden Family
She is always doing great activities including messy and sensory and is constantly surprising us with what she has learnt!
Our little girl is a little fussy with her food, but they are helping us to support her with this, we will get there.
I cannot thank the nursery enough for how they have helped my little girl settle and all the fun she is having each day! This nursery really is one of a kind!

Both of my children attend this wonderful unique nursery. They run in every morning feeling happy and excited about the day ahead! Each child is enthusiastically greeted and made to feel like a special part of their Back to the Garden family. The nursery provides a wide variety of open ended resources,
exciting activities, nurturing staff, woodwork, yoga and a fantastic forest school setting. It is so clear that the child is at the heart of everything they do! The new manager has made some great changes. Children are supported and encouraged to make their own decisions and share experiences. Staff are led by the children and their interests/experiences. The preschool once built an aeroplane and made their own passports following our return from a holiday abroad! I kept my eldest child at the nursery for an extra year instead of her going to a school nursery. Her confidence has soared and I am so pleased that she'll be starting her school education with such strong foundations!
