Corner House® Nursery Perth

As part of our curriculum, we are committed to ensuring children are physically active for a minimum of 3 hours per day.  Physical Development Champions at each nursery are passionate about physical development and create and design specific activities based around movement, raising the heartbeat and exercising the cardiovascular system.

Our nursery encourages children to celebrate a wide range of festivals and celebrations throughout the year.  We always encourage our little one’s families to share their backgrounds too! This is one of the best ways for children to learn about different religions and cultures by celebrating various world religious festivals, food tasting from different countries and dressing up in the national dress of their friends.

Every day at our nursery we understand the importance of promoting language and communication. Through your child’s daily interactions with other children and our practitioners, we seek to encourage communication and identify speech and language difficulties and supporting your little one in their development journey. With our calm, relaxed lunch experience, Our trained practitioners understand and expand the communication developments that take place during this time.

Taking part in fundraising activities helps children to learn about others that are less fortunate than themselves and to understand how we can help them.  Fundraising events are good fun and are a great way to bring children, families and communities together.  Some of the fundraisers we have taken part in are: sponsored toddles, superhero days, baking cakes to sell and garden parties.

We celebrate the big move to primary school with a special graduation ceremony each year!

We encourage Heuristic Play with our 1–2-year-olds, embracing every child’s natural curiosity.  Heuristic play involves offering children a range of different objects and receptacles with which they are encouraged to play freely without adult instruction.

We make use of our wonderful outdoor spaces and forest areas by encouraging children at our nurseries and Out of School Care clubs to plant, grow and tend to fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs throughout the year.

Our nurseries offer free settling in sessions.  Parents can bring their child for a couple of hours first, gradually introducing the child to a new environment.  Settling in sessions are aimed at helping your child to adapt to their new surroundings and become more familiar with the staff and other children.

Our E-Learning journals and Parent Zone app allow you to see your child’s activities at nursery with the click of a button.  Staff upload images and notes about your child’s participation in activities at nursery for you to access wherever you are.  Our nursery tablets offer exciting and stimulating learning experiences tailored to challenge and engage little ones.

Wherever we can we encourage children to partake in preparing their meals at nursery.  We love to see children take pride in their culinary creations and enjoy healthy and delicious food.
