My Role Head Teacher – 2 Nursery Schools Programme Manager – Early Years Collaborative
Lending Library Once a week Record what book the child took. Record the book returned. Ask parents to record what they thought of the book. Try to get parent helpers!
Observations and Parent Survey Library book returned following day. Library book often forgotten on the day. 60% stated they had read the book with their child (one whilst driving!) 40% at bedtime 20% more than once.
Reasons for not reading the book A week’s too long It’s his book No time It’s not my kind of book. So what did we do about it?
PDSA - Plan, Do, Study, Act “What will happen if we try something different?” “What’s next? ” “Did it work?” “Let’s try it!”
How? Think big, test small and scale up! Plan, Do, Study, Act What are we trying to accomplish? What change can we make that will result in improvements? How will we know that a change is an improvement?

He used to have DVD’s and be really late going to bed and now we use the bedtime story and he gets into bed and is sleeping longer… I’m hoping this will help with his behaviour. 40% of parents said the bedtime story has improved their child’s bedtime routine.
It’s a brilliant idea! 100% of parents said both they and their child enjoyed the bedtime stories.
If it’s a first child and you don’t have children at school you don’t realise how important bedtime reading is. I wish I’d realised this when his sister was younger.
I read the leaflet and it said how they settle down better with the comfort of your voice. I asked Theresa if she liked my voice and she said yes. I asked what about daddy and she said “he reads like a robot”
