Review from Helen P (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have been very impressed with the preschool teaching staff who have taken my concerns about my daughter seriously and have monitored her and eventually referred her for early years support. I feel that teaching staff in the preschool class are passionate and have high expectations for the children whilst remaining nurturing and caring.

I feel that the preschool staff are experienced in SEN and offer excellent support to children and parents. There has been great communication between the main pre-school teacher and home and they have had excellent ideas to support in nursery and at home. My daughter has always enjoyed going into nursery and has always come out happy. She has made very good progress in the preschool class.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely nursery. Both my children have attended and have formed strong bonds with members of staff and friends for life in the other children. They have benefited from a wide range of activities and I am often surprised when my eldest shows me a song or dance or game or piece of information he has learned from one of his teachers. The staff are really helpful and are always keen to be flexible wherever possible which we have found useful.

My son has had a fantastic time at Aristotots Nursery School. He has gained in confidence and really enjoys his time there.

The staff have always been kind and patient and work hard to gather our opinions as parents. They always offer a warm welcome. I feel they have given him an excellent start to school life.

Overall Experience

Aristotots Nursery School have shown exceptional care and love over the past 4 years, their dedication and nurturing have made a remarkable difference to my little one. The nursery truly became a second home to us and we cherish the memories. It is sad our time with Aristotots is coming to an end. I am so grateful for the love and patience and attention you have given my little one.

Wouldn’t pick anywhere else. The staff are all super friendly and couldn’t do enough for you and the kids. They give a wide range of activities and always report on what the kids have eaten and how much. Really will be sad when my little one leaves.

Overall Experience

My daughter has really thrived here. She comes home wanting to tell us about all the fun things she has been doing. She has made great friendships and really bonded with the staff. It is exactly what a nursery should be - a mix of learning, crafts, outdoor play, indoor play and fun.

Review from Kerstin (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All three of our children have enjoyed attending Aristo-Tots nursery, with our youngest currently halfway through their time there. There are some really excellent members of staff whose loyalty to the nursery over the years has contributed to our trust in the nursery and management. We also appreciate the nursery's role in training less experienced members of staff and helping them to flourish in new roles. We know Aristo-Tots as a creative, child-centred, gentle, and caring environment. Our children have always felt happy and safe there, and have equally grown into kind and caring individuals, which we certainly attribute in parts to their nursery experiences. COVID-19 has brought a few changes to processes and routines. We now gain slightly fewer insights into everyday happenings. However, we feel that Aristo-Tots has, on the whole, dealt well with the challenges and has sought to create some normality for the children in turbulent times. We've also been kept informed via the online learning portal.

Overall Experience

I am very satisfied with all in regards to the nursery. They are providing exceptional child care and education! My little one is so happy there! I can only see love and dedication from all staff! I can surely say that Aristotots is the best decision to make for your little one. As a mother, you are always worried about your baby when you’re not with him, but with the staff from the nursery, I’ve never had any worries, it’s just like dropping off my little one to her grandma! Wonderful job Aristotots! Glad to be part of the family!

Review from Jemma D (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would always sing Aristotots nursery praises for being an excellent provider. My son has allergies, asthma, and skin conditions and they have managed to support him (plus dad and I) during his time. They are very understanding of my son's individual needs, are equipped and trained to support him and offer him the best care. The cook is also incredible in devising new recipes that are interesting and nutritional for my son. The nursery is always clean, staff are very attentive and the activities provided are superb for a child’s development. I only wish he could stay there and go to primary school there!

My daughter loved going to Aristotots! The staff are so caring and attentive and I felt they really helped prepare my daughter for school. Although she is happy at school she still often talks about nursery.

Overall Experience

Honestly could not praise the staff at this nursery enough, they are incredible and always have the children’s best interests at heart. The manager is really friendly and always has time for a chat and has an amazing listening ear whilst remaining professional. I am so grateful to everyone at this nursery for the care they gave my child and for preparing her for school. Also, the children have an amazing menu with lots of different meals on to explore their likes and over family fun days and Christmas concerts I have had the pleasure of eating the cook's delicious food.

The nursery is excellent and very clean. That being said the entire management is absolutely amazing. I like it and I would recommend it. The school is accessible and not far from town, a very organised school. I really like it.

Overall Experience

Great school, ethos, staff and facilities. My child has a great day and experience every day. The staff and management really care about the kids and put their safety, development, and happiness first. There is the capacity to provide additional tailored support in a variety of areas should your child need that. There is a real partnership between school and parents.

Review from Phillippa (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son absolutely thrives at Aristotots. They have so much outside time which he loves, they also have fun activities, stories, craft, singing. It’s a real community for children and parents. The staff are so caring and nurturing supporting the children and families alike. They support early years development and milestones very clearly, but always in a fun way and they prepare children well for life experiences (such as going up a room, going to school). They go to so much effort to create fun and meaningful experiences for the children (such as themed weeks and parties) and they genuinely seem to enjoy being with the children and have proper connections with the children and are good at child-led activities.

Overall Experience

My child has greatly benefited from going to nursery, she enjoys her visits there and loves the staff. I feel relieved knowing my child is safe, is being educated and stimulated whilst also socialising with children of her own age - something which was new to her since being born during the pandemic.

Review from Fiona H (Mother of Child) published on 29 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The variety of hours the nursery could offer worked really well for us and for my son in the year before starting school.

My son felt safe and happy at nursery. The communication at the end of each day was reassuring, along with the app, giving us insight into what he did day to day. Very appreciative for what Aristotots Nursery School did for my son.

Little man enjoys going each day and that's the main thing. He has a good bond with key workers and likes talking about them. Staff are friendly and talk about the day in detail at pick-up so we know what he has done throughout the day.

The wonderful, kind, and caring staff at Aristo Tots have made this nursery a home from home for our two sons over the past four years. They have nurtured our little ones' growth and development and have been by our side for any challenges we faced. I cannot recommend Aristo Tots highly enough. It will be a sad day when we say farewell to them for the last time!

Overall Experience

Aristotots is like one big family and we were so sad to leave. All the staff are wonderful and so caring and nurturing. They really encourage each individual child’s interests and plan whole topics and events around what the children are interested in at the current time. The food is all cooked on-site by a very talented chef and dietary requirements and allergies are well catered for. A really lovely nursery which my boys loved going to.

Aristotots Nursery has been a great place for my little boy to grow and learn he has been there since he was 11 months old. The staff are very professional and my son had some great bonds with the girls that work there. They have helped him become the happy, cheeky little boy he is. Can not praise them all enough for what they do. Would highly recommend this nursery.
