What Tottenham families say
I highly recommend this nursery. The nursery and the educational resources they provide are exceptional and have really benefited my daughters’ development. They have helped them learn how to play with other children, explore toys, and better understand the world around them.
We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our son when we started at Destiny Haven in Tottenham. The staff really took time with her settling in, which made all the difference in those early weeks, and he’s grown in confidence so much since then. What we love most is how much time they spend outdoors – he comes home buzzing about the garden and always has so much to tell us about what he’s been doing. The team are genuinely caring and always keep us in the loop about her day, which gives us real peace of mind. It's the kind of place where you can tell they actually love what they do, and our little one is thriving as a result.

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.
