I couldn’t recommend Aristo-Tot’s enough. I have two children attending the nursery and all of the staff have been fabulous helping them settle so quickly into the Pre-School and Baby room – the girls can’t wait to go to nursery each morning and it’s a struggle to get them home in the evening. The staff
are all so friendly, approachable, caring, encouraging and a real support to the parents. We have seen a massive increase in our eldest daughter's confidence since she changed to Aristo-Tots and her development in her speech has been amazing. Our youngest has become a real explorer and she is encouraged to try something new every day which we love.
The kitchen staff are amazing and my girls both finish all their food every day if not having seconds, and they have been brilliant dealing with my youngest while we had to eliminate certain foods. Management are always on hand for help, information and advice – and take a very hands on approach. The safeguarding of the children is paramount to the nursery and when required for medical emergencies it has been dealt with so professionally.
We love the new tapestry app, which I check a number of times a day to see photos and a description of what my girls have been up to…it’s great to feel part of their day and I cannot get over how many fun activities the girl’s key workers arrange for them to undertake. A big thank you to all the staff – it has made going to work so much easier as I know how safe and how much fun the girls are having.

My twins have been going to nursery since they were 5 months old and absolutely love it. They settled in very quickly and love the staff. Everyone is lovely and really encouraging the boys have come so fair since starting. The nursery as a whole is friendly and inviting, with loads of activities and
events for the kids to enjoy. We have loved Aristo-tots from the moment we walked in on our first visit and can't recommend it enough.

The staff are very friendly and supportive with my child's development and learning, providing him with rich and varied activities throughout the day. My son enjoys the freshly cooked food he is served up on a daily basis, and I know he is cared for dearly by all the staff within the team.
The extra
curricular activities such as the Nursery Fun Day was supervised by all the staff under their own steam and provided great entertainment for me and my son.

My daughter started this nursery when she was two. I was very worried about leaving her with someone else when I went back to work. On our first visit I knew this was the place that I wanted her to go. The staff were very welcoming and kind. The setting is very clean and you can clearly see that everything
is catered for and around the children. All the food is cooked and prepared on the premises and all in line with the healthy eating guidelines. This is very important to me.
My daughter settled in very quickly. We were worried about how she would cope as she had a delay in speech, we were worried she would not be able to ask for what she wanted.We were given some cards to help her communicate, Everybody at the nursery worked really hard to help her putting in lots of effort to teach her ways of asking with out words we learnt sign and her nursery teachers did too. Now my daughter is in preschool here and is able to speak sentences clearly and talks to her friends. I know that the efforts of all the staff at Aristo Tots has helped my daughter progress in the bubbly confident person she is today. I would recommend this nursery to with out a doubt. All the staff go out of their way to provide a safe happy caring environment for all the children.

What a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending this nursery for just over 18 months and I must say that the staff are very professional and kind.


The food is better than home cooked and my son looks forward to coming to nursery each week.


I love the way they have integrated new daily diaries

on tablets that allow me to view the progress and learning for my son.

On the occasions when I have had to collect my granddaughter from nursery I have always been very pleased with the cleanliness, the variety of toys and activities available aswell as the food that she has been served. The staff are always welcoming and are able to tell me exactly what she has been up
too and what she has eaten. Which is great for me to pass on to her parents.

I was very pleased with the nursery that after viewing Aristo-Tots when I was in search for a suitable setting for my daughter I did not look any further. I began enrolment straight away. My daughter has been going here for 5 months now and both she and I absolutely love it here. All of the staff are
wonderful and make me feel very at ease if I ever have a concern for my daughter.

My little girl, has been with the nursery for 3 years. I have found all the staff very friendly and helpful. My daughter has been a very happy little girl attending this Nursary. The facility's are amazing lots of toys, outside play area, great heathy food for the children. The nursery is clean and
tidy with a warm welcome when I drop off my daughter and pick her up. One of the things I loved about the nursery was the fact it had finger print ID to get in. My little girl is really loving pre school, they have an amazing team, with lots of fun ideas for education and play.


I feel so thankful I found this Nursary.

My child has attended Aristo-Tots for 3 years. He has always enjoyed his time there. The staff and management are very supportive, caring and friendly. They have been a key part in my sons development, emotionally, socially and educationally. The are knowledgeable, helpful and always go the extra mile.
My son has made friends, had fun and developed well. Aristo Tots provide a warm, nurturing, stimulating and fun environment. We are going to miss everyone now that my son is leaving to start school. Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

I am always impressed when I pick my granddaughter up at the amazing displays around the various buildings. The children are clearly allowed to express themselves via arts and crafts, as well as within the rooms. My granddaughter is always sad to leave the building and excited to return the following
day, she talks about the staff at home and is keen to share her learning with us. To me, my granddaughters confidence and happiness is a credit to your teachings. Thank you.

My daughter has attended Aristo Tots for over 2 years now, her development grew rapidly after starting.


She is always happy to attend on her 3 days a week. The staff are all very professional and approachable.


I also like the idea of the new electronic learning journals that have now been introduced.

My daughter attends the nursery on a part time basis, she really enjoys her time within the pre-school area being able to free flow through all the rooms, have her own independence to develop her self care skills.
The meals provided are a healthy balanced variety of foods, all cooked on the premises
which my daughter really enjoys.
The staff are all friendly and very helpful, they show great knowledge of my daughters individual development and plan for her needs.
My daughter thrives on all the activities available to her, enjoying having the freedom of choice, taking part in extra activities and also the various visits and trips planned for the children.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Aristotots Nursery School (MK) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.951 for Aristotots Nursery School (MK) is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.859 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aristotots Nursery School (MK) is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 99 number of registered child places is 19.8. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.859
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
