  • Aristotots Nursery School (LB), Leighton Buzzard
Aristo-Tots Nursery Nursery School, Leighton Buzzard opened after extensive refurbishment in January 2015. Just a few minutes walk from the town centre and a short distance form the train station, the nursery offers amazing facilities, with a varied day of fun and excitement for the children.

A team of qualified staff are ready for a new beginning as they look to impact on the learning potential of all the children within their care and provide parents with a professional service, understanding that all children are unique.

The garden area will be sure to capture every child's imagination, offering a large sandpit, sensory area with mud kitchen and sensory path, the children will also love the bikes, slide and amazing tree house, not forgetting the secret garden ...... "watch out for the fairies".

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Aristotots Nursery School Leighton Buzzard has been amazing for our son! He settled really quickly in the nursery and has been going to the nursery every day since he started back in January 2022 when he was only 10 months. The staff and managers are friendly and always approachable. Our son is so happy
that he doesn’t even want to come back home some days! We love getting our daily updates and weekly pictures and videos. The nursery has also a rabbit and the kids learn to interact with them which is very cute! The meals are balanced and nutritious and our son has seconds most of the days. He has been learning to be more independent and enjoys feeding himself since then. They do lots of activities for the children and the facilities look tidy and clean. We are very grateful for the great care our son receives from the staff and key worker. It’s definitely a great nursery and we feel very happy! Thanks again for all the great work you are all doing with the children!

My son always runs into nursery when we get out of the car and is always excited to go in. The staff are always friendly and inviting and are always very helpful. My son enjoys the activities that he does during the week and I look forward to the weekly observation and photos that are submitted as he
always has a smile on his face in every picture.

My child has settled so well and goes in without hesitation now which is a huge relief to me. She's only been going for 2 days a week for 5 weeks but has had some time off with illnesses too. The girls are lovely, the staff are helpful and polite, and put me at ease leaving my baby there knowing she's
going to have a great day with them. I love getting the pics and knowing what they've been up to too. Very happy we chose here.

Our son has been attending this nursery since April and we are very impressed. Given that he wasn't used to being away from us due to covid we were apprehensive about how he would settle. However, the Ladybird team really looked after him and helped him settle so well. We have seen how much he has developed
too since being at nursery. We are kept regularly updated and they are always happy to answer any questions etc. I would recommend Aristotots!

It’s a lovely setting with really attentive and loving staff. They handle all that the kids throw at them and always with a smile. Both my children have attended and thrived there, one has now left for school and still talks about his time there. The youngest has just started and although was nervous
to begin, they soon made him feel comfortable and now he loves it, highly recommend.

Aristotots give very personal, individualised care to my child. They communicate very well and provide lots of updates. They have lovely outside space to play in, including gardening and animals.

Aristotots has been fantastic for us. Our son has been attending for around 18 months now and his development whilst in their care has been amazing. All of the ladies that work there are lovely and the feedback we receive via the app is great. Our nearly 3-year-old son runs in happily every day and
comes out beaming, telling me all about the fun things he has done throughout the day. The building/facilities they have are wonderful. We viewed other nurseries when deciding on childcare and the facilities at Aristotots really stood out. I'm so pleased we chose to send our son here.

Fantastic nursery. We've been attending this nursery over the past 4-5 years as our eldest also went to Aristotots and absolutely loved it so we knew we would be using them again for our youngest son. He also loves going. We've never had any issues, we are kept up to date on progress through parents'
evenings and the online learning portal. Since the beginning of covid, the staff has gone above and beyond to help parents during the lockdown and put measures in place to welcome the children back since last June. We know our son is in safe hands and well looked after. Massive thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Aristotots is an excellent nursery with very professional and caring staff and it is definitely one of the best nurseries in the area. Our daughter absolutely loves attending the nursery and we've watched her grow and develop with so much help from all the interactions and activities she participates
in. Our daughter also seems to try and eat a variety of foods in the nursery due to the encouragement she receives and watching her peers. Communication is quite good and there is an app which they use to post daily updates on your child's food intake as well as photos/videos showing you what your child is doing throughout the day. It's really nice to see your child settled in and enjoying her day, especially if you've had an emotional morning getting them ready! I can't recommend this place enough.

Thank you dearly for your wonderful review. It's always a pleasure to see your daughter's infectious smile and we love having your family be part of our Aristo-tots family.

Our little girl started at Aristotots Nursery School (LB) in February. She settled in a few weeks and is now so excited when we say it's time to go to nursery! The staff were so reassuring when we were settling our daughter - for me as well as her! Her key worker noticed me getting upset when I dropped
her off for her first full day and made sure I got a photo of her playing as soon as I got home, it really felt me feel better. We get lots of photos throughout the day which is great to see what she is up to - it's always something different!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.994 for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.994
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) is based on 14 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
