Corner House has been a well-established and trusted nursery in the beautiful town of Banchory for over two decades. With a reputation for providing high-quality childcare, our nursery commits to creating a home away from home atmosphere for children and parents to feel comfortable and confident in our setting.
We provide childcare for children from birth to 5 years old. Our nursery is carefully designed and has a varied and plentiful range of resources and equipment, we also have our own private car park for drop-offs and pick-ups. We are open throughout the year from 7:30am to 6pm and offer full-time and part-time sessions as well as working in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council to provide 2–5-year-olds funding to eligible families.

Excellent nursery – a wide range of activities; from toys to role-play and academic learning too. Food is good, variable and healthy. A good balance of well-experienced staff and newer staff provides a good, caring environment. I like the outdoor area with the ‘recycled ‘ playpark and its natural material items are good for educating the kids to a more ecologic use of space.
We love to get outside at Corner House! We have three substantial gardens providing opportunities for outdoor learning across all areas of the curriculum. We also have a mud kitchen, astro-turf area, dens and climbing frames.
As well as access to our fabulous outdoor play areas, children of all ages enjoy regular walks in the local area. We take children out in groups, come rain or shine, to take part in a variety of activities set up by our staff. Wherever possible we try to take our indoor learning outside. During our time outside we teach children how to assess risk, problem solve, share, gather and utilise from nature.
Our youngest children are often seen out in our triple buggies enjoying the fresh air, sights and sounds of the local community. We use high visibility vests to keep children safe when out on trips away from the nursery. All children leave wellington boots and waterproof clothing at nursery so they can be appropriately dressed for all seasons!
We are committed to being an environmentally friendly nursery, making changes wherever we can in order to make the world a cleaner place! We are a registered ECO-Nursery and are committed to teach our children about their environment and the effect we have on it in our day to day lives.
