Heat the oven to 375 F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Simmer the heavy cream, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and nutmeg in a saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes.
Peel and thinly slice the squash, then arrange half the slices in the baking dish.
Remove the herbs and garlic, pour half the cream over the squash, and add half the cheddar.
Layer in the remaining squash, cream, and cheddar, then cover the dish and bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover the casserole and bake for 15 minutes until the squash is tender and the cheese is browned.
