    Books we love and highly recommend

     

    At our nurseries, fostering a love for reading is one of our core values. Each month, our Quality and Curriculum Manager thoughtfully selects a range of books for our children to enjoy. These recommendations are shared with every nursery to ensure a consistent and enriching reading experience.

    We encourage you to continue this journey at home by reading these books with your child. Developing a love for reading at a young age is crucial for their cognitive and emotional growth. By immersing your child in captivating stories and engaging illustrations, you help lay the foundation for a lifelong passion for books.


    Let's make reading a joyful and integral part of your child's life, both at nursery and at home.
