    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    We absolutely love Back To The Garden Childcare Broadheath! They have helped our little one settle in so quickly and made us feel so welcomed, it feels like a second home. The staff are all so wonderful and caring too. And they organise such stimulating and interesting activities for the little ones, they love it! We couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

    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.

    It is literally the best nursery. That is all I need to say! My daughter and my son love it there and they always have great and innovative things for them to do. And super friendly staff! I would recommend Back To The Garden Childcare Broadheath to any parents.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    After moving from nursery to nursery, this being our 3rd and also working in the industry, this is by far the best one yet. The nursery is absolutely beautiful! So inviting to the children and parents. It’s full of resources to inspire the children’s imagination but also help them learn along the way. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. The children are able to enjoy a range of activities at their leisure with no pressure. They’re not afraid of mess and let the kids be kids!
    We’ve finally found the place for us!

    If you’re looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child, look no further than Back to the Garden Nursery. The exceptional variety of food and menu options available to the children is simply outstanding. The dedication and care showed by the staff to ensure that the children receive the very best is truly remarkable.
    I have been especially impressed with how much my daughter’s speech and confidence have improved since she started attending Back to the Garden. The support and encouragement she has received from the team have helped her to reach exceeding levels in these areas. The outside classroom space is also phenomenal!
    Overall, I highly recommend Back to the Garden Nursery to any parent looking for a wonderful start to their child’s education and development.

    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!

    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!
