Review from B H (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my son started at Back To The Garden Childcare, his development and growth has been phenomenal. We were situated in a local nursery before attending Back To The Garden and my son seemed to be diminished from meeting milestones and reaching development goals but since attending here my son has truly flourished. From the care given by the staff, the amazing teachings from forest school and even the food from the chefs, there is honestly no fault with this nursery. Every day my son has done something exciting at nursery and cannot wait to tell me about his day, the staff pour so much love and dedication into the children and it shows through the activities and crafts they do throughout the day on the updates from the app to the artwork on the walls and the laughs and smiles coming from out of the room. The management team are marvellous and are always there for my son's needs and are attentive to every need and see to it straight away.

We re-entered the nursery "business" to make a difference having retired in 2008. I cannot express how much your review pleases me and says we are on the right lines. It's all about childhood experience and creating the scenario for children to explore and be creative .... the hundred languages of children to heard if only we listen.

Review from Selva S (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started in the baby's room when he was 9 months old. He is now 2 years old and recently moved to toddlers room. I have only good things to say about this wonderful nursery. Its unique setup with sensory stuff spread all around the nursery helps kids immensely. My son never had any issues settling in. He was taken good care of in all the rooms that he has been in. The staff are very friendly, listen to us, are extremely caring and dedicated towards kids and they develop individual bonding with the kids. There is extremely good communication from the nursery on what is happening on a daily basis, the food update and if any accidents occur, they are quite prompt in informing the parents and assuring them on the health of their child. They are well-trained on this front. On top of everything, my son is very happy to go there every day. As soon as he is out of the car, he runs to the nursery. Would definitely recommend it as one of the best nurseries in the area!

As I said in a previous review, we re-entered the nursery "business" to make a difference having retired in 2008. The team we have and the training we give and the career development for our staff, gives us a professional and caring team. We are so proud of the manager and the team and we all thank you so much for expressing your thoughts so lucidly.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Back to the Garden since November 2021 and we absolutely love it!

Our favourite thing about the nursery is definitely the staff - they are all so lovely and caring. My daughter settled into the baby room so quickly and really bonded with her key worker. Now she’s in the toddler room her development has really come on, they do so many fun and interesting activities, and the garden equipment is amazing.

Overall Experience

My children have settled in so well, they love going to this nursery and this is all because of the lovely staff and care that is given to my kids. My son's teacher is brilliant with my son, he has a lot of patience and helped my son so much. I'm really grateful for how much he has helped my son and my daughter has gained a lot of confidence. Both my children have improved with their speech, we are all round happy with this nursery.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
