Come and celebrate summer with us—we can’t wait to meet you!

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.

Be Among the First to See It – Visit Us in June

Families are invited to experience this incredible space for themselves during Happy Days Fest, taking place on Saturday 21st June 2025, from 10am to 1pm. This fun-filled open day is a great opportunity to view the baby room, meet the team, and enjoy festival-themed fun including music, face painting, crafts and more.

Located on Beechbank Avenue in Creekmoor, Happy Days Nursery, Poole also boasts a wide range of other high-quality features including a purpose-built layout on one level, secure parent parking, and an inspiring outdoor environment complete with a nature trail, story den, and wild garden.

Whether you’re looking ahead to your child starting nursery or seeking a place for your baby under the new September funding offer, Happy Days, Poole is ready to welcome you.

Exploring the Benefits of Mealtimes at Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools

At Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools, mealtimes are a meaningful part of the daily routine – supporting not only children’s nutritional needs, but also their independence, social skills, and overall development.

The benefits of mealtimes go far beyond simply serving food. Children across our settings actively take part in the entire mealtime process – from self-serving meals and pouring drinks to handing out plates and washing up. These practical experiences help build life skills, confidence, and a sense of routine and responsibility.

Working closely with expert nutritionists and dietitians, we ensure our menus meet the highest standards to support children’s health and well-being. Our nursery has proudly been awarded the Quality Mark by the Early Years Alliance, recognising our commitment to excellent nutrition practices and our role in supporting children’s long-term health outcomes.

Our trained nursery cooks and chefs prepare fresh, nutritionally balanced meals and snacks every day using seasonal ingredients, all served as part of a rotating four-weekly menu. Fresh drinking water and milk are always available, and dietary requirements, allergies, and preferences are carefully accounted for. We also offer a weaning menu, developed in consultation with families, to support babies as they transition to solid food.

The benefits of mealtimes also tie into our “Where Children Shine” curriculum. Our Let’s Cook! Programme encourages children to explore food through hands-on experiences, including preparing and cooking simple dishes using healthy ingredients. Research shows that when children are involved in food preparation, they are more likely to try and enjoy nutritious meals.

Additionally, our Let’s Grow! Programme provides opportunities for children to sow, tend, and harvest their own produce. This not only supports an appreciation for the environment and sustainability but deepens their understanding of where food comes from—reinforcing healthy eating habits and environmental awareness.

Children are empowered to serve themselves during snack and mealtimes and are encouraged to clean their own plates at our low-level sinks. These routines, supported by attentive staff, promote communication and social development as children share conversations and take responsibility for their environment.

Our nursery kitchens are inspected regularly by Environmental Health departments to ensure food safety compliance, and all staff involved in food preparation have achieved a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate.

At Happy Days, the benefits of mealtimes are fully integrated into everyday learning—developing healthy bodies, confident minds, and thoughtful habits for life.

We’re on the home stretch! With just over a week to go until Rainbow Run 2025, excitement is building and today, we proudly represented Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools at the Sponsor Welcome Morning at RAF St Mawgan, where we met fellow supporters and finalised the last logistics for the big day.

We’re delighted to once again be sponsoring the Yellow Paint Station – now for the seventh consecutive year – helping to bring colour, energy and community spirit to this amazing event in support of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

This year, we’re hoping to top last year’s incredible achievement, where over £110,000 was raised – well above the usual £80,000 target. Every penny goes directly towards providing essential care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

Our ongoing partnership with CHSW continues throughout 2025, with fundraising events taking place all year round, from fun days to skydives, and of course, this highlight event of the summer.

“It was a joy to attend the Sponsor Welcome Morning and feel the buzz around Rainbow Run 2025,” said Alice Avery, Digital Marketing Executive. “Happy Days is proud to be part of such a vibrant event that brings people together for a cause that truly matters.”

Alice Merrett, Area Fundraiser at CHSW, added: “We’re so grateful for the continued support of Happy Days Nurseries. Their passion, energy and commitment to this cause shines through every year and we can’t wait to see their yellow station in full swing!”

🌟 Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the side lines, you can help us make a difference.
