Corner House Nursery Audley Road

About this day nursery

Corner House Nursery Audley Road, part of the wider Thrive Childcare network, focuses on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children. They emphasise a child-centred approach to early years care and education, adhering to the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

The nursery promotes learning through play, utilising a wide range of resources, including naturalistic materials and outdoor equipment to encourage free-flow and child-led learning. They prioritise physical development, aiming for children to be active for at least three hours daily, and offer unique experiences like Forest School sessions.

The curriculum also integrates music, dance, creative arts, language development, and story time to foster holistic growth. Furthermore, children are encouraged to participate in cooking and baking activities, promoting an understanding of healthy eating.

The nursery also focuses on wellbeing, incorporating activities that stimulate learning and benefit mental health, such as mini-farms, nursery pets, or visits from animals. To keep parents engaged, Corner House Nursery provides access to e-learning journals via the ParentZone app, allowing them to track their child's development and daily activities.

They also maintain strong parent relationships through regular newsletters and parent evenings. Special events like graduation ceremonies mark key milestones in the children's journey through the nursery.

What it's like

Children make exceptional progress at this warm and welcoming nursery. Staff follow children's individual interests and seamlessly thread children's learning and next steps through everything children do. To support children's emotional literacy in a way that is meaningful to them, they implement the use of a familiar story, 'The Colour Monster'.
