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 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!

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.

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!

My eldest started at Aristo-Tots Nursery from the moment they opened and I knew that any future children of mine would attend too. It's such a lovely clean nursery with a great outdoors playing area, there is a huge range of toys and activities for the children, all the staff are lovely and I have never
had any complaints. They are very supportive and easy to talk to. I would always recommend them to anyone with no hesitation!

Our son has been at Aristotots since May and has settled in extremely well. He loves going and has become a lot more sociable and has made lots of friends, who he talks about at home and asks to attend nursery at weekends!
The staff are all very friendly and professional and update us each day on how
he's been. The food is all home cooked and our son eats very well.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough! Superbly managed with great staff behind her. My son is a bit delayed with his development and the staff accommodates to all his needs. A real loving and caring environment.

My son was fourteen months when he started at Aristo Tos. The first time I looked round the setting, instantly knew I wanted to send him there, the staff were so welcoming, professional and caring, it just felt right to send him there. The cleanliness, the structure and meals are fantastic. My son settled
in from day one, he barely cried when leaving him, and even caries on playing when I walk in the room to collect him, he's not bothered about me in the slightest. He's progressed hugely whilst being there as the staff are very encouraging.

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.
