Nursery search platform, Nuuri, has partnered with property search portal, Jitty.com, to enable prospective homebuyers to look for houses near nurseries.

Jitty.com is incorporating Nuuri’s technology to allow users to filter and search for properties based on ‘nurseries within a 10-minute walk’ and other criteria.

Each property listing will also include data about nearby nurseries including opening times, capacity, and average nursery fees in that area.

Steven Clarke, founder and chief executive of Nuuri, said the partnership changed a parent’s nursery search from a post-move task to a core factor in the initial home-buying decision, and made nurseries on the Nuuri platform visible to parents some time before they would usually begin seeking a setting.

“We are putting nurseries directly into the property search equation,” he added.

“For our early years customers, this means being seen by parents at a much earlier stage, who are choosing their new postcode based on your proximity.

“It is the single-most-effective way to secure your future pipeline by reaching parents at the moment of highest intent and we are excited by on-going similar partnership conversations.”

Nuuri is an online platform that enables nurseries to enhance their listings with features such as virtual tours and a dashboard to manage parent enquiries.
