A hospital role play corner sent children off on more learning routes than staff ever anticipated, says Maureen Baker of Children's House Nursery School, Edinburgh We've all been amazed at the breadth of learning gained from setting up a hospital corner in the nursery. It all started when one of our children was admitted to hospital for a short operation. When he returned to nursery he was happy to share his experiences with the other children. They were so interested that the staff set up a basic hospital corner with a bed, some role play outfits and a doctor's bag.
