Happy Days Nurseries 360 Virtual Tour

Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools runs nurseries around Bristol, caring for children from babies to pre-school age. Parents choose a nursery on trust, and most want to see the rooms, the gardens and the people before they book a show-round. We photographed three of the group’s settings, Bradley Stoke, Lyde Green and Thornbury, so families can do that from home.

The tours have now been brought together into a single bespoke 360 virtual tour: three nurseries, 21 rooms and gardens, things to spot in every room, and an interface designed in Happy Days’ own blue and yellow. Below we walk through each feature and why it is there.

Three nurseries in one tour

The tour opens with “Take a look around” and a card for each nursery, with a photograph and the number of rooms to explore. Parents can start at any of the three, and a switcher at the top of the screen moves between them at any point, so it is easy to compare settings side by side.

Room by room, from the front door

Each nursery starts at reception, then follows the day through the Explorers rooms for babies up to two and the Adventurers rooms for toddlers and pre-school, out to the gardens. Every room has a card with its age group, a short description, a strip of photographs of the other rooms and a Next room button. Arrows in the view lead from one room to the next.

Things to spot

Yellow numbered markers pick out what makes each room work, from the milk kitchen and age-specific furniture in the baby room to free-flow access to the garden. Choosing one turns the view to it and explains it in Happy Days’ own words, and the room card ticks off what has been seen.

Book a visit, always in reach

A “Come and see us” card shows the address, opening hours and phone number of the nursery being viewed, with a Book a visit button that goes to that nursery’s page. Book a visit also stays in the header on every screen, and a progress bar shows how much of the nursery has been explored.

Our nurseries

“Our nurseries” lays out all three settings side by side, with the ages they take, the address, a phone number to tap and buttons to look around or book a visit.

Every room, by age group

“Rooms” shows a photograph of every space in the current nursery, grouped into Arriving, Explorers and Adventurers, with the current room and the rooms already visited marked. Tabs switch to the other nurseries.

Settings and help

The menu links to each nursery’s booking page and the Happy Days website, with settings to reduce motion, use larger text, hide the markers and move your phone to look around, plus a link to copy the current view and a short guide to using the tour.

Designed for a phone

Most parents will look on a phone, often in the evening. On a small screen the nursery switcher sits under the header, room cards and things to spot rise from the bottom of the screen, and Book a visit stays one tap away.

Self hosted, with no platform fee

Like our other bespoke tours, this one is delivered as a self-contained website that can be linked to from every nursery page, with no annual platform subscription for the tour itself. All our photographers are DBS checked. If you run a nursery or a group of settings, take a look at our nursery virtual tours or get in touch for a quote.
