Bookstart Rhymetime
Bookstart Rhymetimes are activities designed to encourage parents and carers to share rhymes and songs with babies from birth onwards.
Sessions are organised locally and take place in children’s nurseries and libraries. They incorporate a mix of songs, rhymes, rhythm and movement, and provide the opportunity to share games, novelty books and toys.
Baby Rhymetimes are hugely successful all over the country. They demonstrate beyond doubt that libraries do have something to offer babies.
Promoting Rhymetime
If you hold Rhymetime sessions it's important that we promote the sessions as widely as possible. We now have a dedicated area within the Bookstart parents section of the website which enables users to search for events in their area.
