Home Corner

The children love the home corner in Reception and it is always full of children playing and exploring. By providing a setting for role play, the home corner allows children to make sense of their immediate world. Children have numerous opportunities to work together, express their feelings, and use language to communicate roles and respond to one another's needs and requests.
