Bookstart
Bookstart is the world’s first national book-gifting programme run by the BookTrust and gives free books for every child aged 0-5 years in England and Wales. The main aim of the programme is to encourage a love of books, stories and rhymes in children from as young an age as possible.

Bookstart Pilot:
Early Years settings are chosen to take part in the new pilot if they meet gifting criteria. Settings in Opportunity Bucks wards were chosen as gifting partners for 23-24 and will have received their book delivery in September. More information on the offer and gifting for 2024-2025 will be shared as soon as it’s available.
Our 2023-24 allocation of dual language books have all been allocated-thank you to all settings who ordered them. As soon as we receive new stock for 24-25 the order forms will go live again.
If in the meantime we are allocated any additional stock we will of course notify providers through Sector Updates.
