  • 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".

My son is always so happy and excited to come into the setting, all of the staff have been amazing in supporting myself and my son with settling in. I have seen him progress extraordinarily since attending. The nursery is always kept so clean and tidy and the activities provided are always very stimulating
and age-appropriate for all the children. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Claire Lewis, Manager at Aristotots Nursery School (LB)

Thank you for your very lovely review. It's always amazing to hear that our parents and children are happy with the services that we provide at the setting. Thank you for picking us to take care of your little darling.

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 have different themes each week to keep the children entertained and excited. We have been extremely
happy at Aristotots LB.

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.

Reply from Claire Lewis, Manager at Aristotots Nursery School (LB)

Thank you, Rachel, we are so happy that you chose our nursery to help your son learn and grow. It gives us great pleasure to know that your family is happy with the care that we give to your son. We love having you all as part of our Aristo-tots family.

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.

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.

Reply from Claire Lewis, Manager at Aristotots Nursery School (LB)

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!

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.

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.
