Nuuri

Nuuri is the UK's first end-to-end nursery search and enrolment platform - helping parents find nurseries and helping nurseries grow. Finding a nursery shouldn't be stressful. But for most UK parents, it means weeks of searching different websites, chasing availability over the phone, navigating waiting lists, and trying to make sense of funded hours. We're fixing that. For parents, Nuuri makes it simple to search nurseries across Scotland, England and Wales by location, age group and start date. Every nursery on the platform is verified, with photos, virtual tours, room availability, cost calculators and clear guidance on government funded hours. For nurseries, Nuuri provides AI-powered digital tools that modernise the entire pre-enrolment journey - cutting admin, saving time, and giving teams more capacity to focus on what matters: delivering outstanding early years care. Founded in 2024 by Steven Clarke after experiencing first-hand how difficult finding a nursery was for his own daughter, Nuuri has been called "the Rightmove for nurseries". We are trusted by hundreds of nurseries and thousands of parents across the UK. 🎯 What we do: - Nursery search and comparison for parents - Pre-enrolment tools and digital shop-fronts for nurseries - Verified profiles, virtual tours and cost calculators - Expert-written guidance on funded hours and childcare costs - A modern, end-to-end early years platform 🌐 Find a nursery or list yours: nuuri.co.uk 📺 Follow our journey: youtube.com/@nuuriuk 📩 Press, partnerships and nursery enquiries: hello@nuuri.co.uk Nuuri is modernising early years childcare in the UK - one nursery, one family, and one enrolment at a time.
