About this day nursery

Children are encouraged to flourish at their own pace within an environment that is both stimulating and enjoyable. The curriculum is designed to be engaging, promoting learning through play and creative activities such as singing and painting.

They follow targeted plans, offer one-to-one care, where needed, and work tirelessly to ensure children with SEND achieve the best possible outcomes.

Been meaning to share my experience for a while, we have been in contact with Jen since March 2023 when we were expecting and viewing nurseries, and she has been absolutely brilliant since then! We viewed 6 nurseries but Jen stood out to us. She is an incredibly experienced Manager and we were hoping that she would still be there when our daughter started nursery this year. Jen has been so helpful and supportive of this transition from navigating motherhood to back to work and she never fails to impress me. Extremely professional and provided all the information I needed every step of the way. Now that our daughter is there, she has continued to be supportive and treats us with respect and understanding. All my worries went away on Day 1 when our daughter’s key worker comforted me on drop off and then updated me during the day with so much detail. My daughter came back singing! On day 2 we realised she is singing twinkle twinkle little star! She doesn’t say Mummy yet but can sing a song! We are so impressed with this nursery and would recommend it to everyone we speak to in the area who has recently had a baby or expecting. I could go on forever about how well this nursery is run, but knowing my daughter has a nap during the day and comes home singing is the best compliment I can give them! Special thank you to Jen, Stacey, Marie, Emma & Kadisha - we are so grateful for a wonderful team at Aristo-Tots who truly care about a child’s care and experience with them! Thank you for helping our baby settle and for taking all my worries away x

Moving our son to Aristo Tots from another nursery where we had a negative experience was a decision filled with anxiety. However, after 15 months at Aristo Tots, it has proven to be the best decision we could have made. Every interaction with the staff, at every level, has been incredibly positive. Our son has truly flourished under the care of his amazing key workers and within the fantastic approach to childcare provided by Aristo Tots. The environment created here is truly wonderful and nurturing. While we will be sad to leave in September, we feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of the Aristo Tots community. Thank you for providing such a fantastic preschool experience for our son. Especially grateful to Athena, Gemma, Amy, Beata and Andrew for being so fantastic.
