Happy Days Nursery, Poole is delighted to announce the opening of its brand new baby room, a calm, nurturing, and beautifully designed space dedicated to the care and development of children under two. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the setting, enabling it to offer more places from September 2025, aligning perfectly with the introduction of the new government funding for working families with babies and toddlers.
This new room has been designed from the ground up with early brain development, wellbeing, and emotional security at its heart. It is a direct reflection of Happy Days’ commitment to creating safe, secure and inspiring spaces where children feel loved, settled and ready to learn.
A Thoughtfully Designed Environment for the Youngest Minds
From birth to age five, the brain forms up to 90% of its final structure. Recognising this critical window of growth, Happy Days has drawn on extensive research and decades of experience to shape a baby room that is purposefully warm, calm and sensory-aware.
Instead of overwhelming colours and noisy layouts, the new baby room is filled with soft, neutral tones and natural materials, designed to offer a serene environment that encourages focus, security and calm. This gentle aesthetic helps babies feel emotionally safe and free to explore, without the overstimulation often caused by busy, vibrant spaces.
Furniture and resources have been carefully curated from Early Years suppliers committed to safety, comfort, and sustainable manufacturing. Each item has been chosen to promote physical development, autonomy, and wellbeing, from low-level shelving that encourages independence to cosy, tactile nooks where babies can safely rest and observe.
Karen D’Aguilar, Head of Sales and Marketing at Happy Days, said: “We are delighted to be providing a dedicated space, designed to provide the highest quality care for our youngest children and their families. This state-of-the-art facility reflects our ongoing commitment to providing inspiring care and education to the local community, nurturing every child to become a learner for life, enabling their future success.”
Open-Ended Play and Rich, Calm Learning Spaces
The new baby room is not just about aesthetics—it is a place where purposeful play and early development are nurtured every day. Resources encourage open-ended exploration, allowing babies to choose how and when to play, building independence and supporting key brain connections through movement, repetition and hands-on discovery.
The space also benefits from direct access to the outdoors, enabling even the youngest children to enjoy fresh air and nature experiences as part of their daily routine. From age-appropriate sensory gardens to outdoor push toys and shaded play zones, every inch of the space is designed with care and intention.
