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  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!

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

Honestly, hearing that is everything to us, as finding the perfect balance of childcare and education with awe and wonder is our number one aim! We are so happy your family loves our nursery just as much as we do.

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.

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

This is amazing feedback. Nurturing children's individuality and identity is at the heart of what we believe in. Your little boy is such a free spirit and a huge part of our preschool! Thank you for sharing.

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.

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

Hi Michael, this review means a lot to us. We are beyond delighted with your experience of our setting. The hard work the team puts in and the support all our wonderful parents have given us means we are able to deliver the absolute best to our little ones. Thank you for sharing!

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!

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

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!

Reply from Ann-Marie Ellison, Business Manager at Back To The Garden Childcare - Altrincham

We have really loved having your children attending our setting and yourself as one of our valued parents. It is so nice to have parents who engage with our nursery and fully immerse themselves in everything we do. We are so pleased to hear that you agree that your daughter is ready for her new adventure in Reception with the foundations we have built at Back To The Garden. Your children are both an absolute pleasure to have with us and are such a credit to you as parents. Thank you for taking the time to write this glowing review and we will be sharing this with our staff to show them how appreciated and fantastic they all are!

From the minute you step into this wonderful nursery, you feel welcomed into a caring, warm environment. My little boy who struggled to settle in his last nursery took no time at all to settle here. All of the staff are kind, attentive and extremely passionate about their practice. Every day the room
is set out centred around the children's interests and then expanded on involving art, drama and role-play. The staff implement learning through play indoors and out which my little one engages with and enjoys all the time. There is a chef which works alongside the children looking at recipes, weighing and measuring food, baking and making smoothies. All the staff work so well together and always give feedback as to what he has done throughout his day as well as communicating through an app with pictures of their activities. The outdoor space is incredible too which can be enjoyed in all weathers. I really cannot say enough how happy I am that I chose here.

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

Wow! Thank you. We are extremely lucky to have our wonderful chef as part of the team. We call all our practitioners early years 'artisans' because as you said they introduce the children to so many varied skills every week to develop them holistically. We will introduce the parents to these soon too!

We as a family could not be happier with Back To The Garden Lymm. We actually look forward to dropping our son off and seeing him smiling as he waves at the window. Our son always wants to take things he is interested in into nursery and by the end of the day the staff have created really engaging activities
around it. We get to see lots of lovely pictures throughout the day so we know he’s happy and busy.
Every member of staff knows each child well, they really nurture them as individual little people. Everyone is easy to speak to if there’s anything we’re worried about. We’re amazed by the things he learns, the incredible food he eats and how happy he is. We feel so lucky to have found this place, it’s worth every penny for our complete peace of mind.
