Aristotots Nursery School (MK)

Both of my girls have attended Aristotots MK, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The environment is warm and welcoming and the staff are, without exception calm and caring. They have been incredibly supportive and nothing is too much trouble.

My daughter attended from 11 Months until she went to primary school. I could not recommend the nursery and preschool enough. The care and support each member of staff gave my daughter was the best. They turned a shy girl into a confident big girl ready for school. I had every faith in all the staff to give my daughter the best care and will genuinely miss coming there. Lovely setting, lots of outdoor space. My daughter went back after lockdown and it was COVID secure, I had no worries. My daughter still speaks highly of all the staff and misses them.

The garden area is well maintained and secured. I love the special days with themes and this year's birthday party was well organised with lots of activities and food for all. Thank you all for your dedication.

Having had a negative experience putting my son in with a childminder I was incredibly apprehensive about putting him into to childcare again. Aristotots helped put my mind at ease very quickly and I have never looked back.

The environment is fantastic for children. It is structured, they are well cared for and they are always learning in a fun way. Tapestry is a great system for staying updated.

The staff have always been so caring towards my son, and treat him as if he is part of their own family. I know this isn't just for show because he will happily run to the staff in the mornings for a hug and always says goodbye enthusiastically. They are always willing to listen to what you have to say and have a genuine interest in the wellbeing and development of your child.

The food they serve is great, & the way they encourage the children to feed themselves and to be independent is excellent. My son enjoys the food so much that some days he has 2nds (in the 2-3s area).

I highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Aristotots enough.

My daughter started at Aristotots nursery at 1 year old. All staff and carers were very welcoming and I was impressed with the care and attention provided to my daughter when settling in. In her first settling in session, her key worker took the time to find out about my daughter's personality, favourite toys, foods and routines established at home. Also gave me ideas to help her settle in. Although I was emotional when first leaving her, the staff were comforting and took photos of my daughter playing to re-assure me that she was OK and starting to settle. The tool Tapestry is regularly used to communicate with the parents and carers. I look forward to receiving notifications during the day. Updates are regular and frequent, several times in a week and there are lots of photos. The nursery regularly has themed weeks and all children are encouraged to get involved. I would recommend Aristotots to friends and family.

The staff do lots of creative activities with the children to help with their learning and development.

If you are looking at a nursery for your little one(s) visit Aristotots in MK, I'm sure it will be in your top three to choose from.

My four-year-old is unfortunately just about to leave preschool here and my one year old started the nursery a few months ago. Both of my daughters have been full time and they never get bored and have always just loved the carers. This place has totally exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in the door here three years ago I just knew this was the right place and I haven't regretted my choice for a second.

We sent our daughter to Aristotots nursery with high expectations from several recommendation that we had received. Since she started they have gone above and beyond the expectations that we initially had. The staff are all very caring and attentive to all the children. They work extremely hard and provide a great environment for the children to be in. I couldn't speak highly enough of the nursery.

Nursery and homelife are closely linked for stability. Parents Evening, concerts, Sports Days and ad-hoc open sessions are well supported. Everyone enjoys these sessions.

Since our first visit to the nursery, we have been delighted with the standard of care, development and fun that our son benefits from. A first-class establishment and one that I would thoroughly recommend.

LOVE this nursery - we moved to Aristo-Tots in July 2017 from another nursery in Summer 2017. Both kids have settled really well - especially the 3 year old who was at the previous nursery for nearly 3 years. The baby didn't really seem to mind. They have both thrived here, and love it. It's so nice that they are both happy to be left (eldest used to cry when being left at the previous one every time) and enjoy it so much. I love the weekly activities, and the pre-school outings!

My boy loves it at nursery in the baby room, the caterpillars. He has learnt so much and enjoys the calm but stimulating environment. The carers are loving and caring. They come up with the most amazing things to do for the kids to give them the best learning opportunities. They are welcoming and my little boy loves going to nursery. For a working parent, it is great to get Tapestry updates throughout the day and see my little boy playing with his mates or doing an activity with a massive smile on his face. I can’t wish for a better place to leave him while I’m out working.

Since my child has moved into Pre-School, this has continued under the fantastic support of their current key worker, who once again provides activities based on each child’s personal abilities and supports them to move forward with their personal developmental journey. I love the fact that you get to see what the children are doing on Tapestry and that we can upload photos of what we do in our family lives. Nothing has ever been too much for the staff and are always on hand to help if needed. My child loves going to Pre-School and has been fortunate to make some lovely friends. We will miss everyone at Aristo-Tots and can’t thank you enough for everything you have done.

A superb set up from baby right through to preschool. Staff that truly care and go above and beyond to support and nurture children. Wonderful environments and facilities to help care for my boys.

The setting provides extra experiences for children by visiting the local area surrounding the nursery as well as taking them on outings further afield.

From day one, my daughter happily goes there. She always about different activities throughout the day. It's a great learning and fun environment. I would definitely recommend Aristo-Tots to my friends and family.

My son has been in the baby room since January 2018 and he has lived it. I’ve seen huge changes in his behaviour where he is now more able and curious and seems to have grown up into a little boy overnight. I am so grateful to the team for making us feel so welcome and looking after my son as if he were their own. The tapestry is such an important and wonderful element to Aristo-Tots nursery and I look so forward to my daily updates!

The cleanliness of the facilities and friendliness of the staff is also extremely apparent and reassured me that my son is in great hands! I am very thankful we found this nursery and were able to get a place, (as I found “the nursery search” quite daunting) but the manager and her team were wonderful in taking us around and showing us the facilities and explaining how it all works - the best by far in my book.

Our daughter's main nursery teachers are very friendly and were keen to ensure our daughter settled in and was happy when she started. The first few weeks our daughter attended we called every hour and we were never made to feel like this was too much and was always told exactly what our daughter was doing.

After looking at 5 different nurseries, I instantly felt comfortable with leaving my children here. It's bright with lots of space for the children to play with designated areas for different activities such as messy play, learning, eating, sleeping, make believe, book corner, etc. The outside area is amazing, lots of space and activities for each age group. The staff are very friendly to both children and parents and the use of tapestry is fantastic, as well as feedback at the end of the day. The manager is very friendly and always available to discuss any issues. Variety of home-cooked food. My youngest started at 7 months, I was very apprehensive how she would cope as she's very clingy. Within a few weeks, she now goes in and doesn't get upset when I leave, and quite happily goes and explores the room, which only reflects how well the staff make the children feel safe and happy. My 2 1/2 year old always looks forward to his nursery days and never had any issues when he moved rooms.
