Church Corner Nest is a home-based early learning centre run by an owner-operator, part of the NESTS network, at 69 Main South Road in Sockburn, Christchurch. The website says NESTS centres are small, with one licence for babies, toddlers and young children, and that each child has a primary kaiako for the whole time they attend. The centres have a large backyard with a vegetable garden and fruit trees, a play area with climbing equipment, a sandpit and a small native bush area. Excursions go to Marshland Domain next door. A separate enclosed sleep area is provided for babies. The curriculum is Te Whāriki, with te reo and tikanga Māori used in the programme.
Reviewers say their boys loved the centre, which they describe as the best preschool they have known. Another praises the natural environment and friendly staff. Nearby, Montessori Riccarton Park Preschool is 0.9 km away, with no rating shown.
