Bookstart Rhymetimes
Songs, rhymes, rhythm and fun at your local library, nursery or children's centre.
Rhymetime has helped my child sing more at home, sit down and listen and make new friends...she loves rhythm and rhyme!

Babies and children who love books and have the pleasure of hearing stories and rhymes have a flying start when it comes to learning to read by themselves.
Sessions are organised locally and take place in children's nurseries and libraries. They incorporate a mix of songs, rhymes, rhythm and movement as well as providing the opportunity to share games, novelty books and toys.
Head along to your local library to take part in rhymetimes and other events – children are never too young to join the library, it is free and lots of fun!
