Bookstart - Books for Babies

Twin babies reading
 

Bookstart is a national book-gifting scheme. There are 3 free Bookstart packs:

  • Bookstart baby pack for babies 0-12 months. This is normally gifted by health visitors at the baby's first health check, or is available from Children's Centres or your local library
  • Bookstart plus pack for toddlers 18-30 months. This is available from health visitors, Children's Centres, the Family Information Service or your local library
  • Bookstart treasure chest. This is for children aged 36-48 months. It is usually gifted at the child's nursery or playgroup, or is available from Children's Centres or your local library

Babies love books - your library is a great place to help you to build upon your baby's Bookstart.
