“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.”

Why families choose us
Our approach
What makes Destiny Haven different day to day is that your child gets the same familiar faces. We're led by a Qualified Early Years Teacher who knows every child as an individual, and our staff stay put, which means real relationships form quickly. We're rooted in Christian values but genuinely welcoming to families of every faith. That foundation of care comes first, before anything else.
In practice
We're Ofsted rated Good, and we accept both 15 and 30 hours funded childcare. We take children from 3 months right through to 5 years, and we have a settling approach that doesn't rush. If your child needs more time to feel at home, we extend the programme at no extra cost. It's worth knowing that our settling promise isn't just words. We move at your child's pace, building trust step by step.

What our families say
Real feedback from parents who have trusted us with their children's early years.
“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!”

We take children from 3 months right through to 5 years old. That means if you need childcare for a baby and later for a toddler or preschooler, your child can stay with us and the same staff they know. Continuity of care really matters at those early ages.
Ofsted rated us Good, which means our practice meets the standards and children are cared for well. Day to day, you'll see this in the consistent staff you meet, the safety checks we do before children arrive, the daily observations we share with you via our parent app, and the genuine settling approach we take with every new child. It's not about ticking boxes. It's about how your child experiences their time here.
Before your child starts, one of our staff will have a key person call with you so we understand what your child needs. On day one, we never rush the goodbye. Our settling programme extends over time at no extra cost if your child needs it. We see you as your child's most important teacher, and we move at their pace, building trust step by step, so they genuinely feel happy and secure with us.
