My eldest son attended the nursery from age 2 to 4 and he is 9 now. We loved the setting, the staff and how well he was looked after so much that it was the only place our younger son was going! He is now thriving there also. The staff support the children in their development, are encouraging and update
us regularly on their daily activities. My son is so happy there and he is very sad to be leaving there this year to go on to school. He has been through all of the areas as he started at 7 months old and is now nearly 5 years old! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and have encouraged a few of our friends to attend this nursery also and they too are very happy. The variety of food that they are given is great and he regularly tries new foods there. They really focus on all aspects of the children health and well-being. I cannot fault them, great team!

Aristotots Nursery is amazing! I changed nurseries for my little girl after moving house and I couldn't fault Aristotots at all. They always go above and beyond! Great communication between myself and all staff. Play equipment is always clean and a great range of toys out throughout the day. You can
see the management really value their staff - this reflects from them - always positive, happy and willing to help. My child is happy and content throughout their time there, and I can see the joy Aristotots gives them when they come home talking about all the exciting things they have done. My little girl has progressed in all areas of learning, which is lovely to see. I couldn't recommend Aristotots enough! Fantastic all round! Thank you always to the manager and her amazing team!

My daughter loves attending Aristotots. The care and attention she receives from all the caregivers is second to none. Seeing her development and how she demonstrates and continues her learning at home is really lovely. The joy on her face when we drop her off and pick her up relays how much she enjoys
her time there.

My little boy has been attending for over a year now and I can not fault the care he has received, it's such a warm, inviting and caring nursery where the staff love and care for your children like they are their own, it's not just a job for them there is genuine care. The managers are so hands-on as
well and that's when you know it's the right one and its not just a business for them, he has progressed so much and I especially like the independence they give the children in learning skills, themed activities each week making it fun for the children to learn every day. He comes out of nursery happy and excited, it's a lovely setting with loads of outdoor space. The food menu has a large variety of balanced nutrition and they encourage the children to try different things which is fantastic. They update weekly with photos and communicate well if needed. Can't thank all the staff enough especially two members of staff in particular who do such an amazing job and are appreciated so much!

My child has been at Aristotots MK since September 2022 and is now 20 months old. The nursery staff have been amazing with her, especially her key worker. She loves going into nursery and settled down very quickly. They do so many different activities and always share pictures of her on the online learning
portal for us as parents to see. They have so many different rooms for each age group including a separate sleeping room. She is now moving up to the bigger class and she loves playing in the role-play room. She has really developed so much since being at Aristotots. We were previously at another nursery for a couple of months and were unhappy with the food as she has a dairy intolerance. Aristotots have been great with this and cater for all allergies and have a variety of freshly made hot meals, which has been very important for us. Thank you to all the nursery teachers for looking after our wonderful little girl.

This is an outstanding nursery. Our son has been attending for two months now, and the staff show a genuine joy and care for him. He is very happy upon seeing any of his carers, and they are equally happy to see him. The nursery communicates well and is extremely professional. That said, it is clear
that it is not just a business for them, but that they have a true passion for caring for, teaching, and creatively engaging children. They have new themed activities, toys, songs, books, etc each week for the children (even the little ones), which ensures that the children are engaged and given room to explore and grow. It is all one could hope for in a nursery and staff. Highly recommend, and ever so grateful.

Reply from Jennifer Stephens, Manager at Aristotots Nursery School (MK)

Thank you for your kind words, we are so happy you have chosen Aristo-Tots for your little one's journey. We look forward to seeing his smiley face each day and cannot wait to see him grow and develop.

Can’t fault our experience with Aristotots at all, the staff and environment are both absolutely fantastic.
Our daughter has been attending since she was 6-months-old and has formed some wonderful relationships with both carers and other children. She has so much fun every day, the thought that goes
into the learning activities and development as a whole is brilliant. Aristotots has really supported our daughter's growth and we are so grateful.
Thank you, Aristotots team.

After having our daughter in the pandemic, we then had the hard task of finding a suitable nursery. After visiting several more than I was expecting to, as for one reason or another the other places we considered just didn’t tick all the boxes as to what my husband and I were looking for. We met with
the Nursery Manager and within seconds of attending, thought that “this is the one”. From the extensive space at the nursery and “free flow” inside and out. We could see how children wouldn’t feel restricted. It’s not a new nursery, yet the interior was warm and friendly, and all the equipment and furniture is well looked after. There is longevity within the team, many of them have been there for years and again I could feel the experience within the setting and that they are genuinely passionate about providing the best care. Our daughter has been going since April 2021 and she could not be happier! She rarely even looks back at me as the nursery door opens in the morning.

Aristotots has seen our first through from 1 year old up until preschool. She’s very happy there and has thrived, with a brilliant keyworker that she has a great bond with. Their attitude towards covid has made me feel safe and able to send her there despite the pandemic too. Our second has just started
and is settled well. I don’t have any doubts about the staff that look after her in the baby room. They are very understanding (I am one of those mums that calls every day to check she is ok!). But I am always met with a helpful, welcoming member of staff to answer my questions. Both children will spend their time here until school and I trust they will be looked after and supported. The only thing I would say could be improved is the menu as the evening/tea options don’t seem as nutritious/varied. I’d definitely recommend Aristotots.

All 3 of my children have attended Aristotots. The staff have been the same with some new faces over the last 8 plus years which in itself is a good sign in my books, clearly shows good management and care of their staff. All of my children loved and love being at nursery with the manager and her team.
My daughter is profoundly deaf and they have been a huge support to me over the years and work closely with my daughter's teacher of the deaf and speech and language. They are working to learn sign language to help my daughter and nothing is ever too much trouble. Such a loving, flexible, hardworking, caring team there. I know my children have been and are in safe response hands. Honestly can not thank them or speak of them highly enough.

What can I say…having sent my son to Aristo tots since he was 9 months old I cannot fault them for the care they have provided, he is now in his last year and has progressed so much thanks to all the amazing staff and the brilliant and creative activities to support in his learning. Having seen other
nurseries Aristo tots is by far the best at providing that safe and welcoming environment not only for the child but also that reassurance for us as parents too. Thank you so much.

My son recently graduated from Aristotots and my daughter is still at the setting. Aristotots has been nothing but the most caring, loving, supportive and accommodating setting.

As soon as I had my viewing appointment, I knew that Aristotots MK was the place for our family. The manager’s genuine enthusiasm and passion for the nursery really shine through, which is a great comfort. Both of my children attend currently and both are happy and well settled; they look forward to
going in and always come out happy and eager to share what they’ve done that day. The staff are lovely, the food is all freshly prepared on-site and the communication between home and nursery is fantastic.

My daughter is 3 and moved from a Nursery in another area to Aristotots within a couple of weeks. You wouldn't have noticed, the manager and her team did an amazing job of settling her in and were very helpful and sensitive to our personal situation. All the staff are always very happy to chat at pick
up and give advice if you need it. The indoor and outdoor facilities are fantastic they really invest in the Nursery to provide the best facilities and equipment for the children. My daughter particularly loves the outdoor space and never gets bored with all the fun activities where they are always learning and comes home telling me about her days of fun with her friends. I go to work happy she is in the very best hands. I would rate this Nursery over 10 if I could and highly recommend it to anyone looking in the area.

Absolutely outstanding nursery. Our daughter has been going for 3 years and has never ever not wanted to go in, she absolutely loves it. Every single member of staff from baby room to pre-school has been lovely, we get a detailed report on her day upon collection every day, as well as lots of pictures

My son loves going to nursery and happily walks in each day. The staff are friendly and welcoming, happy to help and answer any questions. Rooms are set up with good quality educational toys, I love the free flow elements of the toddler/preschool rooms. They do an excellent range of activities with
the children, the older children doing cooking regularly too. We are kept up to date via the online learning portal, which is great to see photos of him playing and having fun. He enjoys the food there too! Lots of outdoor space to play too.
Would definitely recommend this nursery!

That is why I had no reservations about sending our second child here. The staff are lovely and caring, they are a great support and stepping stone in their education too.

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.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 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

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
