  • 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".

I have two children in Aristotots. My older one started as an 8 month old and is now in Butterflies, the oldest room. My younger son has started when he was 10 months and soon he will be two. They both love going to the nursery, have done so many amazing activities and their key persons (and all other
amazing staff) were always there to help. Thank you Aristotots.

My daughter started in the caterpillar room, she is now in preschool and will be going to school this year. The setting recognised my daughters potential and have done an amazing job at providing excellent activities to extend her learning. The outdoor space is perfect for all children to access the
outside environment.
My daughter loves coming to nursery.

My daughter loves Aristotots. They provide regular feedback through parents evenings, an App called Tapestry on my daughters progress. There are themes, special event days and activities all to help with different types of learning. My daughter currently enjoys some externally provided sessions from
Active8 on a weekly basis, as well as gymnastics that Aristotots team provide in their dance studio. The garden is a lovely sheltered space, with a treehouse slide and plenty of toys. There is a separate space for the babies attached to their base room. The team are diverse, stable, dedicated and lovely. I feel confident in their care and learning. The food is fab and setting is always clean. What more can I say. They are fantastic. Well done Aristotots.

Staff are all lovely and look after all children well, meeting all their needs, lovely activities carried out on a daily basis and always something different for the children to do. Always told that my child has done different activities and not the same everyday. Recently started potting training and
staff were so helpful and patience with the process and helped through difficult times.

Our little boy has settled in so well to the nursery and moving into the older room. He runs off happily every morning and gives all the staff a hug and is very happy in the environment. Despite being very shy, the staff have worked really hard to get to know him and have been conscientious in keeping
us updated on his progress and working with us to build his confidence. His key worker is extremely passionate about what she does and I would highly recommend this setting.

Both of my boys have been to Aristotots and my youngest is still there. They have both always been happy and settled very easily. My eldest still likes to come to the nursery to visit and see the manager.

I love the activities my son is doing in the Busy Bee room and he is always extremely excited
to be in the garden.

I feel so happy that we found Aristotots nursery! My daughter has attended since she was ten months old and she has loved every day. They are great at working around children's needs and all of the staff are friendly, kind and caring and it's the perfect environment for our daughter. She has thrived
and grown in confidence in her time at the nursery and I feel happy and content that she is being very well looked after.

Fantastic staff, very friendly and absolutely brilliant with the children. It puts me at ease when working knowing that my child is well looked after. The activities they do daily are a good variety and personally, I have noticed a lot of new skills learned weekly when I read about what they have been
learning. The Tapestry Journal is updated regularly with photos which is also nice to see.

Our son has settled in very well. We tried our son in one of the nurseries in Leighton Buzzard and we had problems with his care and cleanliness. Aristotots Nursery meets our son's needs and he is enjoying being there. Not even a single day have we had any concern. The environment is clean and the staff
are very professional and approachable.

My son has been at Aristo-Tots for over 2 years now and he loves it and is developing really well. There’s a lovely balance between play and learning which I think is really important during their early years. More recently, they have really started to incorporate external companies into the nursery,
ensuring that despite attending nursery, the children are not missing out on music groups and sports activities while we’re working, which in my opinion is fab! Our youngest son will also be starting at Aristo-Tots in the summer.

A great setting with everything your child needs to have a happy and educational time at nursery. My child has attended the setting between 1 and 4 yrs old and has made significant progress in all aspects of learning. The facilities are great and the outside spaces are really good. The glue that holds
it all together are the wonderful staff. Always friendly, helpful, caring and kind. Can't recommend this place enough!!

We absolutely love it here. All of the staff are so friendly and my grandson has settled so well. They do so many lovely activities with the children. The nursery is very small which is a bonus as they have more time to spend with the children and help them learn.

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.
