Our son has been at Destiny Haven for 2.5 years (has been attending since he was 1 year and will go until he goes to school). Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staffing has been consistent since he joined, with responsive key workers who meet us regularly throughout the year for updates.

What Wood Green families say
A beautiful, caring environment where children truly feel safe, supported, and loved. From the outside the building may not look particularly impressive, but once you step inside it is a completely different story – warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for the children.
Our son has been attending Destiny Haven for almost three years and he absolutely loves it! He has made great friends, he learns quite a lot and the staff are so welcoming and kind. They regularly keep in touch with us to provide information on how he is progressing and they also have days where parents can come to the nursery and see what the children do during their day. Would highly recommend this nursery to any parents with young children!

How fees are calculated
Fees are based on an annual charge broken down into weekly and monthly payments. Monthly fees = weekly fees x 52/12, averaged over the year for simplicity of payment. Invoice amounts may therefore not always be consistent with averaged monthly figures.
Fees are payable throughout the period your child is registered, including during:
- Absence due to sickness or holiday
- Unforeseen nursery closures (bad weather or other circumstances)
- Bank holidays, 3 inset days, and the 1-week Christmas break
Government funding
All 3 and 4 year old children are entitled to the Nursery Education Grant deduction from their fees, starting in the term following their 3rd birthday. Under-3 fees apply until that term commences.
Funded hours can be taken as term time only (38 weeks), or stretched across the year. Please contact us for term-time-only pricing.
Notice
1 month's written notice, or payment in lieu, is required to withdraw your child from nursery or to reduce sessions.
