What our families say

Real feedback from parents who have trusted us with their children's early years.

  • Our son attended this nursery for over two years, and watching him grow here has been a joy. The staff strikes the perfect balance between keeping the kids entertained and teaching them important skills. He’s leaving with a smile on his face and a heart full of friendships. Thank you to the amazing team for being so kind and supportive!

  • 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.

    Joanna
  • We've had such a positive experience with Destiny Haven Nursery in Noel Park. What really stood out from day one was how thoughtfully they handled the transition when our daughter started – they took time to understand her needs and made the whole settling-in process feel calm and unhurried. She's grown so much in confidence since joining, and you can see how the staff genuinely encourage each child to try new things at their own pace. The outdoor space is brilliant too, and she comes home buzzing about whatever adventures they've had that day

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.
