✨ 📚 Play and Learn Nursery! 📚 ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a book at the open day today. Every purchase has helped Play and Learn nursery earn free books for the setting, and your support will make a real difference to the children as they continue to discover the joy of reading.

I always love working alongside this nursery and its wonderful families. It's a pleasure to support such an enthusiastic setting that places so much value on fostering a love of books and stories from an early age.

BUT this is just the beginning!!! 📖🌟

This week, the nursery children will be taking part in a Sponsored Ready, Steady, Listen challenge, where children will be encouraged to listen to as many stories as possible to help earn even MORE free books for the nursery.

Good luck to everyone taking part—I can't wait to see how many stories you enjoy together. I will be joining you on Monday for a special story time session to help you get started and share some fantastic books with you all.

Thank you again for your support. I'm looking forward to seeing how many books we can help the nursery earn over the coming weeks. Happy reading! ❤️📚

✨ A huge thank you to Steph for sponsoring books this summer! ✨

Steph not only creates the most amazing nails from her home salon, but she’s also helping make a real difference in our community by putting books into little hands.

Her beautiful home salon is designed with parents in mind, featuring a dedicated play area for little ones so you can enjoy some well-deserved pampering without worrying about childcare. 💅🧸

This summer, Steph has generously sponsored 50 books that will be hidden throughout the school holidays, ready to be discovered and enjoyed by local children. 📚💛

And if you're lucky enough to have an appointment booked with Steph this summer, keep your eyes peeled! 👀 Some of these special books may be hidden around the salon, waiting to be found by visiting families.

Supporting literacy, encouraging a love of reading, and bringing a little extra excitement to the holidays is such a wonderful gift to our community.

Thank you, Steph, for your kindness, generosity, and for helping us spread the joy of books this summer! 🌟📖

There’s something incredibly special about helping schools and nurseries get FREE books into their settings. 📚✨

Today I delivered goody bags and certificates to a nursery that has just completed an RSL, and they’ve now got over £440's worth of books on the way to their setting too! Seeing the excitement and knowing those children will soon have brand new stories to enjoy is the best feeling. ❤️

Watching children come alive when new books arrive never gets old. The curiosity, the excitement, the rush to choose a favourite story… books really are magic. 💫

As part of the UK’s National Year of Reading, I’m more passionate than ever about promoting reading for pleasure and helping settings access books that children can truly fall in love with.

If you work in a school or nursery and would like to know how to get free books into your setting, ask me — I’m always happy to help. 😊
