Review from Loren R (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff and facilities are really good. When my son first started he was scared to leave my side when I had to drop him off, within 2 weeks he was running off without a goodbye as he was going inside, which let me know he is comfortable there. Any issues and the staff let you know straight away. Staff take time to listen to you and especially listen to your children. I love that they like to spend most of the time outside, letting kids be kids. A fantastic place to send your children, would definitely recommend this nursery!

Reply from Becky Bevan, Deputy Manager at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Thanks so much for the review Loren, it has been lovely to read! We love having your son with us and are so glad you enjoy our ethos of letting children explore the outdoors as much as we can and ensure they have a memorable childhood!

Review from Lee F (Grandfather of Child) published on 2 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandson has attended this nursery for his pre school years and has received the most rewarding care from all the staff. They have been influential in all the skill sets he has learnt educationally, emotionally and socially. The formative years he has spent here have played a huge part in the grandson I have today, and with this comes thanks to all the staff and I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Becky Bevan, Deputy Manager at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we have absolutely loved having your grandson with us at Back To The Garden. We wish him all the best for his future at his new school!

What a fantastic nursery, Staff are fantastic.

The provision my child received is amazing. The resources and equipment are clean and on-trend with current initiatives. Such a great family community feel. I would highly recommend.

Review from Aiste S (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The easiest way to write a good review is when everything is perfect it is so natural that from time to time parents have some concerns regarding childcare. This week Back To The Garden Childcare Broadheath team exceeded my expectations! An amazing example of how perfectly they reacted to my worries, how they gave me answers, how they calmed me down, and how they improved all the processes all of the sudden. Feels like a second home, when the most important thing is to communicate and to understand each other.

Thank You!

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham
Hi Aiste

It's so pleasing to know how well our team are performing. I love your, "second home" comment. A nursery should be exactly that but with so many more opportunities to play. It is so rewarding to go into a home base and see groups of children involved in activities, chatting amongst themselves and learning... without realising it. Thank you... Stewart

Review from Rachel L (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter attended Back To The Garden from age one and a half to four. We had the most amazing experience. All the staff were fantastic, the setting is just so lovely, very spacious and relaxed. The ethos and learning model is child-led, and the children have a really positive environment to grow and learn. Everyone involved in the nursery, from nursery assistants to the nursery manager to the cook and gardener, really cares and are truly committed. We were sad when our daughter had to transition to school, but she has made the move with confidence and everything she needs to succeed in the future.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks, Rachel, for a lovely review. Children become part of our nursery family and stay with us for too short a time. Our job is done when they transition to school, and we hope we have provided everything we can to ensure that they continue to develop and learn with confidence in the school environment.

Review from Sophie T (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff have been extremely considerate of what our child's needs, she's found it difficult to settle in new environments and they have been interested in what she likes to ensure she feels happy and safe when she is there.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks for your lovely review, Sophie. It is so important that we ensure that children feel happy and safe so that they can focus on the activities in the nursery. Feeling secure is so important and is an essential foundation for learning, through play of course.

Review from Charlotte T (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are very happy with the experience that our son gets at nursery however we do have a few comments.
I am aware the teachers are busy during the day but we have found the updates have become less and less, majority of the time it is done once we have picked them up. We would appreciate it being more consistent, just even if it is only posting what he has eaten and slept so far that day so we can plan ahead for dinner timings.

Also, when we came round for the initial show around we were told there would be excursions outside. For obvious reasons that hasn’t been achievable but now things are getting back to normal we’d like to see some of these things happen.

Review from Lucy L (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been at Back To The Garden since September 2019. He has thrived here and loves going to nursery. During the lockdowns they have communicated well and ensured we had activities to do with our children when they could not attend - we had some fun zoom lessons when the bubbles were closed. All members of staff invest their time into each child whether they are the key worker or not.

My son is now in preschool and excelling thanks to all the work and care from Back To The Garden staff.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks, Lucy. It was a big learning curve for our team during COVID but they had much fun communicating with children at home. We stayed open throughout for key workers and the team were brilliant in managing the bubbles. Hopefully, we will be fully back to normal soon and can welcome parents back into the nursery.

Review from Emma D (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lovely setting, lovely carers. Our daughter settled very quickly and was very happy going in every morning. Her language developed really well during her time there. We've just moved back to Belgium, and she is reacting very differently to her new setting, which makes us appreciate her time at Back to the Garden even more.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Thank you, Emma. Sadly you had to go back to Belgium. I know a little about Belgian nurseries as we bid for the European Parliament nursery contract a few decades ago and I recollect that the staffing ratios were very different.

Review from Claire R (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Back To The Garden for just over a year ( only leaving as we moved). I couldn’t speak more highly of the team particularly those in the baby room. My daughter really blossomed there and it was lovely to see her make friends and grow. The team do a wonderful job keeping the children engaged and are great at keeping parents up to date with how the children are progressing.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks, Claire. So pleased that your daughter is progressing well with Back To The Garden Childcare. As said, we have a very dedicated and professional team.

Review from Joanne P (Mother of Child) published on 5 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter adores coming here. She started in January and I have nothing but praise for the standard of care, love and teaching that the staff here provide. My daughter loves it and the ethos of the nursery is fantastic in such a crazy world to bring it all back to nature and give growing children an understanding of the earth and all the natural beauty right at our fingertips. No complaints whatsoever, best choice I made sending my child here, I have had peace of mind since I picked her up after her first day.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks, Joanne. Lovely feedback. Unfortunately, we have to charge such fees to cover our costs, particularly our staff wages and COVID has been a testing time in many senses, including financial.

Best, Stewart.

Review from Adam W (Father of Child) published on 12 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Back To The Garden have always been great with our child, over the two years he has been there they have helped bring on his communication skills and development above what we expected. After viewing a number of different nurseries, the feel of calmness and one-to-one time and care felt above all other nurseries we visited. Recently he has been bringing his work from the tool shed back home with such a proud smile on his face from what he has made. The meals are always healthy and the nursery have aided in bringing his eating on brilliantly. Highly recommend the nursery to any parent thinking of enrolling their child.

My son currently attends Back To The Garden, they are amazing with him. He has been attending since 11 months old and is now 3 and in the Pre-school section. I have recommended Back To The Garden to friends and family as I do feel my son is safe when he attends. The staff are so friendly and always there to answer any questions.

Overall Experience

My son attends BTTG every Tuesday and he absolutely loves it. I am kept up to date throughout the day via the app which is great. He has formed a close relationship with his key carer which is lovely to see. As a first-time mum going back to work can be daunting but it makes it much easier knowing your child is in safe, caring hands.

Review from Amy C (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has just returned to nursery after 5 months off due to the current situation, he couldn’t wait to get back to see both his friends and the staff, which I think speaks volumes for the type of setting this is.

The resources both in and outdoors are fantastic. When I’ve seen meals being served the food looks and smells amazing and my son always talks about the yummy food he has eaten. The staff always greet both myself and my son with a smile and nothing you ask ever seems to be too much trouble. I feel communication from the nursey is of a consistently high standard, keeping me up to date with the general goings-on within the setting as well as my son's development, be it through talks with the staff, the parent app or emails.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Huge thanks for such a supportive review. We are so proud of our team and the way they have performed during the lockdown and after. Welcome back to the family. Cheers Stewart.

Review from Jen W (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have to say this is a fab nursery! I have a three-year-old in preschool and a 19-month-old in the pre-toddler room and they have both settled so well since starting at the setting in January 2020. They were so friendly when we did our nursery tour and they were very accommodating when making arrangements to view. They are very friendly each time I go in for pick up. Generally, there is such a lovely vibe to the place. I completely agree with their ethos of learning through play and their introduction of yoga particularly to the pre-schoolers. Also, the food seems amazing. They both eat everything up - more than they do at home.

Overall I would recommend Back to the Garden to anyone. Fab, fab place!

Review from J L (Father of Child) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Great nursery, helping with toilet training. My little girl has been able to learn at her own pace and since being at the nursery, has developed well. We decided to keep her at Back To The Garden instead of transferring her to a school nursery based on how happy our little girl has been.

Reply from Stewart Pickering, Director at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

Many thanks for your review. We are so pleased that you decided to keep your daughter at the nursery rather than transfer her to a school. As you say, children are given the opportunity to learn at their own pace. They learn through play and interaction with their peers, and with our team. There is plenty of time later in life for a more formal education.
