For Early Years

Our programmes, tools and resources for those who work with children aged 0-5.

What we do: Early Years

Our Early Years programmes include Bookstart across England, Northern Ireland and Wales, which gives free books to every child at two key stages before they start school. We have loads of helpful videos, downloads, blogs and information about how to get involved for librarians and early years practitioners. We have extensive research on the benefits that reading brings to child development and how it can affect them in their later lives.

If you're looking for fun things to do with little ones at home, why not try out some of our HomeTime activities? Or explore our booklists to help find the perfect book to start your child on a reading journey that will continue throughout their life?

Find our recommendations for the very best books for young children - from newborns up to five year olds.

Our Storyteller Hub for partners has everything you need to deliver a fun and engaging storytime session in your setting.

Our flagship programme supporting reading in the early years and beyond.
