Parents and carers

Bookstart aims to provide a free pack of books to every baby in the UK, to inspire, stimulate and create a love of reading that will give children a flying start in life.

This website provides parents and carers with information on receiving your packs, activities to do with your children, events happening in your area and a range of other resources to help you enjoy sharing books with your child.

We believe children are never too young to start loving books!
