Destiny Kids Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2012, with 28 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Wandsworth
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wandsworth from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are supported by kind and respectful staff. This ensures that children and their families feel happy and settled at this nursery. A well-embedded key-person system enables all children to part with their carers with ease as they run in to tell their friends what they have seen on the way to nursery. They thoroughly enjoy small-group activities and one-to-one time with their key person, who understands their needs.
Leaders have created a setting that promotes inclusivity. The dedicated leadership team promotes connection with the local community, which ensures that local families feel welcomed and supported. Parents feedback that the nursery provides everything they need to feel part of a warm and welcoming nursery community.
Staff support children's emotional well-being and set very clear expectations for behaviour. This helps the children to understand what is expected and, in turn, this ensures that their behaviour is positive. Staff help children to develop an understanding of expected behaviours. They praise children for making positive choices, such as sharing with their friends and being kind. Staff model the behaviour they expect and say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children develop good levels of independence. They are encouraged to put on their coats and shoes when going out and help to lay the table at mealtimes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further develop the consistency of how staff engage and interact with all children, to fully support and extend each child's learning across the curriculum.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
