My Bookstart Treasure Chest
For children aged 36–48 months

It comprises picture books, stickers, a pad and pencils to encourage early writing and guidance material for parents and carers.

How can you get a pack?
Most children will receive their Treasure Chest via their early years setting, ie pre-school playgroup or nursery.
However if your child doesn’t attend such a group or is minded at home or with a childminder, you can pick up a pack at a library. Remember to take your health record book along with you.
Please note that you do not have to join the library to receive your Bookstart Treasure Chest.
