Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

A strong keyworker system ensures that children's developmental needs are communicated well to all staff. Staff know children well and are able to meet their individual needs. This includes when additional needs are identified, which may require input from other professionals, ensuring all children have the potential to reach their full potential.

Outdoor space

Children play well with their peers; they wait their turns to go on the outdoor play equipment. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

My son started Domi Domingo nursery when the East Ardsley setting opened. Since then I've seen the nursery grow and grow in to the homely, educational and caring setting that it is today. I was extremely apprehensive about leaving my little one with anyone outside the family and the staff knew this, they updated the app with pictures and telling me what he had eaten etc so this was reassuring for me. They also said it's not an issue to call up to see how he was getting on. He has recently moved up to the pre-school room where he has a fantastic bond with his key worker Laura and Victoria. His language has developed incredibly along with his confidence, he now just walks in to the room and shouts bye which is a massive contrast to when he first started. There is a real community feel to the nursery and they frequently organise events for families. I couldn't recommend this nursery anymore. Thank you for taking care of my little boy!

We’ve been really happy with Domi Domingo since our little one joined the preschool room. You can tell straight away that the staff genuinely care — they’re warm, patient, and always take the time to speak to us at pick-up and drop-off. Our child always comes out smiling and full of stories, which says everything. One of the things I’ve really appreciated is how much effort they put into creating memorable activities for the children. In the time we’ve been there, they’ve had Diddy Kick sessions, a fire engine visit, a ballet tutor, fireworks displays, and lots of fun themed days. It feels like they go above and beyond to make the children’s time exciting and meaningful — it’s not just the same routine every day. They also make a big effort to hear from parents. I’ve had regular calls to check in, ask how things are going at home, and make sure we feel included. That communication makes such a difference because it means they really understand each child and can tailor things to them. The nursery is also great with hygiene. Everything feels clean and well looked after, and staff are mindful about handwashing, cleanliness, and keeping the environment safe. Overall, we feel really lucky to have found Domi Domingo. It’s a warm, caring, and engaging nursery where our child is happy, supported, and genuinely thriving. I’d definitely recommend it to any parent looking for somewhere that treats children as individuals and puts a lot of thought into their development and daily experience.

Our daughter started at Domi Domingo’s at 7 months, and attending has helped her progress in so many ways. She’s become so much more confident, her babbling and communication have come on brilliantly, and she has developed a love for food (often having seconds at every meal). The baby room team are incredible — so invested, genuinely caring, and always up for a proper chat about how she’s doing. It never feels rushed, and it means so much that they know her so well. The approach to learning alongside the extra curricular activity and events just sets it aside from other nurseries. We also love the observations they send through. It’s so special to see what she’s been up to. I would highly recommend.

When I started looking for a nursery, non in my area really came into the sort of environment of what I wanted for my daughter. So when I came across the newly opened domi Domingo in East Ardsley only a 10 minute drive away I decided to check it out. I fell in love with the whole feel of the place and Jacob the manager was just so lovely and welcoming. I loved the big room they can play in, the future ideas for the garden and then forest school as well was an extra tick for me. My daughter loves it here so much and I chose to keep her here for preschool too as why take her away from what she enjoys. She's coming on leaps and bounds and I can't thank you all enough for been amazing with her. I also love the app and the updates I get about her daily it keeps my mind at rest knowing things about her day. I can't say anything bad about this place! Your just brilliant and I'll be so sad when my daughter has to leave and go to school.

My son started nursery in March and its been wonderful seeing his development over the course of the year. The food provided is organic and varied. We can keep track of his day on the app. The carer's are friendly and make time to let me know how his day has gone. He always waves bye to everyone and tells he's had a good day on the way home
