  • 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
We absolutely love it here at Aristotots! We have previously struggled to find a nursery in the area that we felt comfortable leaving our child in, luckily she now goes here!


We get daily feedback about her food and other care needs as well as an update on all of the activities she has been taking

part in that day.
The staff are really kind and as the nursery is small we feel they are able to provide a greater level of care and attention, really getting to know the children and their individual needs.


We are so happy to know that we have made the right decision in choosing Aristotots, our daughter is very happy and can't wait to go every day.

Aristo-Tots Nursery offers a clean and safe environment with great facilities both indoor and outdoor.
My daughter has been going to the nursery since she was 12 months old and she loved each day (she is 3.5 years old now).


The nursery has also the added benefit of having off-street parking and

good opening times, making it an ideal choice for the full-time working parents.
We couldn't have chosen a better option for our little one!

Really pleased with Aristo-Tots nursery. My child is very settled there and the staff are always helpful if we have had any questions.


It would be useful to know more about the activities they are doing during the day - possibly more posts on tapestry? But appreciate this is quite time-consuming.


Really like the monthly newsletter that is now coming through.


Would recommend Aristo-Tots to friends and have already confirmed a place for my second child to start next year.

Thank you Julia. We will improve on our photo skills for tapestry.

My oldest child attends the setting and soon my 2-year-old will join too.
Me and my husband could not wish for a better nursery for our girls.
Communication is excellent, staff are amazing and my child comes home so happy everyday telling us about all the exciting activities she has done.
We couldn’t
be happier with this setting!

Our one-year-old is happy to go to nursery each morning and keen to have his breakfast and cuddles with the nursery staff. He comes home tired and seems to have enjoyed himself each day. We appreciate the amount of time the children get to spend outside. Overall we are very pleased to have chosen
Aristo-Tots.

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter has been going here for a year now and she absolutely loves it - She has built up some great relationships with the kind and welcoming staff.
Aristo-Tots has a great range of activities which keeps my little one busy - I can't praise the staff and facilities
enough and would fully recommend this nursery to friends, family and anyone looking for a nursery place for their child.
Big thank you to everyone who looks after my daughter.

My son has been going to nursery for six months now from the age of ten months and I can not recommend this nursery enough. I have never had a problem dropping him off as he is always so happy to be there. I feel the staff know my son really well and are always so welcoming and approachable.
I was
really worried about going back to work and my son being looked after by someone else but I have no concerns at all. It’s a pleasure to pick him up and see him so happy.
Thank you all!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First impressions were very good, a clean and spacious environment and happy children playing.


Upon our visit, it was clear how paramount safety is at the nursery.
As well as the importance of nutritional food.


The facilities are wonderful. Plenty of toys and activities for children of all ages.

A fun and secure outside space. Even a little dance studio.


Our girl has been at Aristo-Tots Nursery for 6 months now and she loves it. The staff really care for the children, which shows in the lovely relationships our girl has built with them.


Every day she comes home talking about all of the fun she has had that day.
It's lovely to see how her social skills, confidence and learning have all grown.


The nursery is very professional, and I always feel well informed on our daughter's progress, either through daily conversations with the staff, the online tapestry updates, or the makes that she brings home with her.


I am so glad we chose Aristo-Tots Nursery.

Both our children have attended Aristo-Tots since 2015. My daughter has now moved on to school but my son still attends. I would rate this nursery very highly, it is very well managed, clean, spacious, lots of activities, toys and interaction with the staff. The staff team lead by an excellent manager
are fantastic, caring and supportive to both children and their parents.


I have already recommended this nursery to friends and would continue to do so in the future.

The staff are very friendly and care about the children. I feel safe leaving my little boy with them knowing that he will be well looked after.
The food looks very appetising and healthy. They go outside every day which is important to me and feedback is comprehensive which puts me at ease.

Review from Jenni B (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely nursery setting. Large semi-open plan rooms and dedicated areas for different activities so the children aren't all on top of each other, but have the opportunity to socialise with younger and older children as well as those in their specific room. Clean and simple, with decorations by the
children themselves. The garden is a lovely size, and the indoor dance studio provides another area for play.
My son has really grown in confidence since going here. All the staff are so kind and gentle with their charges, and my son's key worker demonstrates a genuine affection for him. I've been very supported with cloth nappies and potty training. Support for charities, carol concerts etc makes it feel like a little community for the children.
The food is varied and nutritious, with the occasional treat!
Very pleased with Aristotots!

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.
