Domi Domingo is a small and friendly day nursery in Burley, Leeds, that serves organic and vegan-friendly food.

They underwent an OFSTED inspection in March 2019, during which they attained an 'outstanding' rating, a source of great pride for them. In November 2024, they received another 'outstanding' rating from OFSTED, a result that brought them great joy.

They are very proud of being accredited with the SOIL Association for serving organic food. This means that parents can rest assured that children are eating healthy, natural food when with Domi Domingo.

This is so important to ensure that all children get the best start in life. Domi Domingo wanted to increase the children’s awareness of this, so regularly visit their allotment where they also grow their own fruit and vegetables.

With Domi Domingo Day Nursery, children will be allocated a key person, but all staff will work hard to develop a relationship with them to ensure that each child is happy, settled, and has the best early education and care possible.
Each and every child is valued and they firmly believe that children’s interests should be encouraged.

They support this by planning individually for children’s interests. Children will work alongside their key person in carefully planned activities that will engage them in their learning. 

Domi Domingo is proud of their work and proud of their results. All children make good progress whilst in their care. They believe that this is because they know their children well and plan for children's needs, whatever they may be.

Our son is very happy at nursery and he is always well looked after. Since he has some medical needs, it's always a worry leaving him in other people's care, but I am never worried when taking him to nursery as they understand this well and are on top of it, which makes me feel really confident about
the nursery! This is my second child to attend the nursery and they have both done really well there, are happy, safe, and their development has come on leaps and bounds!

Reply from Bree Heacock, Nursery Manager at Domi Domingo Day Nursery

As a father, I've been so impressed with Domi Domingo Day Nursery. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. I appreciate their focus on outdoor activities, organic meals and creative learning, including Spanish immersion. It's a place where my child feels happy, safe
and inspired every day. I couldn't ask for a better environment for them to learn and grow. Highly recommended!

Always such a warm and welcoming environment from all members of staff in the baby room each and every day. I feel at ease leaving my son with happy staff who show care and compassion towards the youngest children in their first year of nursery. We always receive personal comments from staff about how
his day has been which is so important for us as a family. Would recommend to others as a loving, safe space for children to play and learn.

This is an excellent nursery. I have had three of my children here. One is now at school and two other currently there. Not only is the care and education excellent, but also the food. They have an onsite chef that makes very nutritional food. It caters for a wide range of languages too. My child learnt
Spanish, but also great if English isn't your first language. It really sets your child up perfectly in their early years before school. Highly recommend!

Our daughter has been with Domi Domingo Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. We viewed a handful of nurseries in the local area before making to difficult decision to go back to work from maternity leave, we felt that Domi was the right setting for our daughter to attend and benefit the most from,
and we were right. Our daughter is now in the preschool room and her development is outstanding, the support, the different activities, the interaction, the food choices, the learning and the staff all have contributed to how she has come on in her time at nursery. Other settings just didn't feel like they had the same amount of facilities and access to different learning environments, the nursery is set out to focus purely on the child's age group but they do have the opportunity to socialise with the other rooms too. The staff are friendly and approachable and do have the best interests of every child that attends at the forefront.

We greatly appreciate your review! It means a great deal to our team. We're thrilled to hear that both you and your daughter enjoy our nursery, and we're delighted that your experience is a positive one. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Domi Domingo's go above and beyond to meet the needs of all the children they care for. I have just begun settling in my third baby in the baby room. All three of my children attended the nursery including my eldest who is autistic. They have given the same love and care to all of my children. I honestly
can't recommend them enough.

Domi Domingo is a fantastic nursery! My daughter absolutely loves it, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention she receives. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional, creating a warm and nurturing environment. The meals are not only healthy but also delicious, which is so reassuring
as a parent. I'm particularly impressed with the extra activities they offer, like Spanish lessons, which make learning so fun and engaging. I highly recommend Domi Domingo to anyone looking for a safe, stimulating, and caring place for their child.

I've had two children attend Domi Domingo Nursery and I haven't a bad word to say about them. The staff are amazing and look after the children with such care and love. I know they are safe when I leave them on a morning. My children have learnt so much, from different languages and maths to everyday
life skills such as toilet training. The team have also supported us as parents through different life events and provided us with lots of useful guidance about parenting at home. They are approachable and if I have any questions I get responses really quick!

Domi Domingo's is an amazing nursery - my daughter is happy in the preschool room and the staff are all so kind and caring. There's always lots for the kids to do, nutritious and varied food and a dedicated outdoor space for the age group. I would really recommend to anyone in the area.

We are extremely happy with the care that the staff give to our son. He has been at Domi Domingo for nearly a year and has developed so much. I have no worries leaving him in a morning as he has built a great relationship with staff, especially his keyworker.
Great variety of food and lots of outdoor

Domi Domingos is a lovely small and friendly nursery. Our three children have attended from ten months and have been very happy there. The staff are great, really know the children well and are always chatty, informative and happy to help. Food is a big part of nursery life and is always varied, home-cooked
and delicious. A lovely warm happy nursery, I’d absolutely recommend it!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Domi Domingo Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.939 for Domi Domingo Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.939

  • 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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Domi Domingo Day Nursery is based on 11 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.775

  • 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.
