  • 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 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!!

Great nursery, the staff are fantastic and very friendly. My daughter lacks confidence and without the support of Aristo-Tots, she would not be how she is today. Would highly recommend.

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.

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!

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.
