The baby pack is gifted to babies between six and eight weeks old.
The treasure gift is gifted at three years old.
The baby pack is gifted through Health Visitors at your baby’s development check.
The Treasure Pack is gifted through nurseries and playgroups.
All packs are available at your local library.
No, but it’s free to join and we have a large selection of board and picture books for your child to enjoy.
Bookstart offers a number of packs for babies and toddlers with additional needs such as visual/ hearing impairment, delays in physical development, dual language.
