  • 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".

Our daughter has recently moved up a room at Aristotots and the staff have been so caring and looking after her so well. All the staff at the nursery are amazing and you can tell they really care about the children. Our daughter is so excited to go to nursery each day which is a great relief! Thank
you Aristotots!

Our little boy started at Aristotots in September 2024. From the onset, we were really impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. It's really clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and are very enthused when give us feedback. They always provide detailed feedback.
There
is a really positive vibe from the setting and we are so glad that we found Aristotots.
Ever since our little boy has been attending, his confidence and progress have increased and he loves going.
Thank you so much to all the staff at Aristotots.

Our son has been at Aristotots since he was 10 months old. Ever since we joined, the staff have been so attentive to my son's needs and took the time to get to know him and his routine. He is now 2.5 years old and absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff-to-child ratio is fantastic compared to other
nurseries in the area and the opening and closing hours are a godsend for working parents as other nurseries don't readily offer the same hours of operation meaning we can drop our son off early in the morning and have flexibility in the evening to pick him up after we finish work. Our son loves the staff and has made lots of friends taking such a stress off having to leave him to go to work. All the staff are professional, warm and friendly and always happy to chat about anything you need. We look forward to sending our next baby to the nursery when the time comes. Would highly recommend the nursery to others.

My daughter has only been going to Aristotots for a couple of months but it feels like she's been there for much longer.
She settled very quickly and was clearly happy to be there from her first week and I attribute this to the warm and friendly staff. 
We have been so impressed with how all the staff
know her and greet her by name even though they don't work in her room.
The kids spend a lot of time in the garden and I know my daughter loves that but the soft play they set up in their little yoga studio is another fun bonus.
Highly recommend LB Aristotots!

My daughter has been at Aristotots for almost a year.
She settled really well at the nursery, her development has come on leaps and bounds from language skills to counting to all the variety of food she will now eat.
The staff are really in tune with how she is, noticing small changes and keeping
an eye on her if she's acting differently to usual.
We get weekly updates with photos of what she has been up to as well as daily updates on food, nappies and sleep. She does a variety of activities, spends a lot of time outside in the courtyard and seems really happy to be at the nursery. She repeats the staff and other children's names at home and when she's getting ready to go which is very sweet.
There have been some changes recently with management, but overall they have been handled well and haven't been disruptive to the children or parents.

Our daughter has attended the nursery for over a year now beginning at just 6 months old. Even with covid restrictions she is nurtured and cared for with such love from all the staff. She enjoys going to every day and is engaged in a wide range of activities each week. We thoroughly look forward to
Fridays to see how her week has been!

I've never left a review for anything before but I remember only too well the anxiety of looking for childcare for my baby daughter when I had to go back to work. We are relatively new to the area and I had no family or friends nearby that could recommend anywhere so I just had to see what was available
and hope for the best. We have since had a fantastic experience and I could not rate them high enough. They are first and foremost so caring and sweet with the children. The settling-in phase was managed so well and although I myself left the gate crying the first few days I knew my child was safe and happy. We get amazingly detailed reports on her development and daily breakdown of nappies and food. Then each week we get the loveliest photos of how her week has gone and you can see again how much attention they put into all the activities. They are also miracle workers at getting the babies to sleep which is a huge help for routine and bedtime. All round excellent carers and crèche.

Aristo tots has been great for our daughter, and we can see how much she loves coming into nursery. She never hesitates to run in in the morning and doesn't want to come home at the end of the day. The staff are friendly, and approachable and have a genuine interest in each child.

My little girl started Aristotots around 9 months ago when she was 11 months old. I was so nervous about starting childcare, but I needn't have worried. She absolutely loves going in every day and the key people in the ladybird room have become like family to her. They've taught her so much and each
week when I see the pictures I can see that she has been having an absolute ball! It's such a relief to leave her with such lovely people and to know that she'll be well looked after when my husband and I are at work. Handing your little one over to anyone is difficult at first but everyone at Aristotots gets that and they're really supportive.

Our son started Aristotots in January and it’s been one of the best things we have done, he absolutely loves going to nursery, some mornings he can’t get rid of me quick enough! Always different activities being done and he loves the outside play too. Different food menus weekly and I love the fact
we get an update on what he ate and how much. The staff are really kind and friendly and all know him by name, they are always on hand with help and info when needed. Couldn’t rate high enough - thank you, everyone. Very happy.

Staff are engaged and take care of each child’s personal needs. Looking for new activities to do with the children and try to incorporate personal interests. The rooms are spacious and bright and the fact that the facility keeps bunnies for the children to interact with I find beneficial for the children's
development.

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!

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.078)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.078) out of 10 for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.986 for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 4.092 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aristotots Nursery School (LB) is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.492

  • 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.
