My daughter started at Back To The Garden when she was 13 months old and we are so happy we made the choice for her to attend this nursery. Our daughter has come on so much in the past 7 months, she was a very shy, little girl at the start who liked to observe more than join in. Now, she is growing
into a very confident toddler who loves taking part in all the activities. Everyone who works at the nursery goes the extra mile to make all of the children feel very welcome and at ease.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter settled quite quickly at Back To The Garden despite only going a few days a week. She loves it there and seemed to have bonded well with a few of the staff members.
One great thing about the nursery is the friendliness of the manager and staff. You will always have a warm smile to greet
you as you go in and out. It seems they genuinely care for the children and parents too. My daughter has really come out of her shell. She is chatty, always loves to sing and dance and they always indulge her in these things. I am a happy mum and it gives me confidence now to have her there full time.

Back To The Garden Childcare is a wonderful nursery. I feel that they nurture and educate my boys in a child-centric way, making learning and exploring so much fun. Creativity, kindness and respect for the natural world are at the heart of everything they do and I love the fact that children spend so
much time outside. The staff are incredible. They are caring, knowledgeable and well organised, often putting on super events for both children and parents. Their chef makes an effort to prepare some really fantastic meals and I love the range of food they get to eat. I really cannot recommend this nursery enough. I will be sad to see my boys leave!

Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Preschool staff are wonderful, however since the class numbers have increased it’s very hit and miss if we receive daily reports on what our child has eaten which is important to us.
It's imperative aprons are provided as many sets of clothes have been ruined and I’m surprised after being open for
over 12 months they’re not already in use.
On the whole, we’re very happy but feel a few things need some attention.

I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are amazing very friendly and approachable. My son gets very upset when I leave him, and they all go that extra mile to make him happy. I also get a courtesy phone call just to let me know he has settled. He is becoming a very independent and intelligent
little boy and this is thanks to the team at Back To The Garden, they are amazing! Thank you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been there for 6 months and she enjoys it very much. Moreover, I am reassured by the fact that she has bonded with some of the staff and knows them by name. Unlike most nurseries, here there is much space and natural light and has a good biometric security system. Plenty of parking makes
dropping off and picking up easier and there is a shed to store buggies. They have a good-sized garden which is a hard find. The staff show a personal interest in my daughter which is encouraging. Their menu is healthy and tasty. The online login system allows me to review her daily activities, nap time, meals etc. I would definitely recommend it.

My child has been attending since she was 6 months old.
Back To The Garden has brought her development on leaps and bounds, and she expresses genuine happiness at going to nursery.
The staff are fantastic and totally embody the whole ethos of the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderful nursery with a fantastic ethos. The staff are so kind and caring and the children well looked after.
The facilities are fantastic, especially the garden and natural toys.
The emphasis on child-led and outdoor play was what attracted us to the nursery as well as its convenient location.
They also have a big focus on the natural world and sustainability which is great.
Improvements are continually being made as the nursery becomes more established and the team expands.
The nursery is always clean and tidy, with a wonderful atmosphere aided by relaxing music and essential oils in reception and the amazing living wall that my daughter gets excited by every time she sees it!

We are so lucky to have this superb nursery in Broadheath. Its location next to a primary school and the new community hall could not be more convenient, making school drop-offs and pick-ups really easy. The facilities re brilliant - spacious, lots of daylight, fab garden with teepee, and the staff
team are wonderful too. I couldn't ask for more from a nursery. I love the outdoor play emphasis, the yoga they do, the amazing art room, the library area.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.400)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.400) out of 10 for Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.983 for Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.983
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.417 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 120 number of registered child places is 24. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.417
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
