“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 is how we get to know your child as an individual. Every child has a key person who builds a genuine relationship with them from day one, and we involve you in that relationship through daily observations on the Famly app and regular chats. You're never left wondering what your child did that day, and we make time to listen to what matters to your family.
In practice
We're Ofsted rated Good, and we accept both 15 and 30 hours of government funding so childcare fits with how you work and live. Our settling approach is unhurried - we never rush a child into nursery, and if they need extra time to feel secure, we extend those sessions at no extra cost. We were founded on Christian values, but we welcome families of every faith and background, and our North London roots mean we genuinely understand the communities we serve.
For families in White Hart Lane

You're close enough for a quick drop-off on the way to work, and our secure outdoor space with forest school sessions means your child gets real time in nature, not just classroom time. This is a nursery that sees parents as partners in their child's learning, not as people to manage around.

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 welcome children from 3 months right through to 5 years old. So whether you're returning to work after maternity leave or your child is in their final year before school, we can support your family from one point to the next.
We're rated Ofsted Good, which reflects what you'll see day to day - experienced practitioners who know your child well, a well-organised setting with secure spaces for play and learning, and genuinely safe care. Our team is led by a Qualified Early Years Teacher and supported by experienced, qualified staff, so there's consistency and expertise in your child's day-to-day experience.
We never rush settling, and we work at your child's pace. Before your child's first day, we'll have a key person call with you so you can share what matters about your family and your child can hear a familiar voice. Then we offer a 10-day settling programme where your child spends time with their key person, building trust step by step. If your child needs longer to feel genuinely secure, we extend those sessions at no extra cost. Get in touch to arrange a visit and we'll chat through how we'll support your family.
