It’s World Book Day on Thursday 5th March

We are celebrating the day with Lewis Carroll Library, and by taking groups of nursery children to Borders Books (opposite Chapel Market). We have a free £1 Book Token for every child. You can either buy a special £1 children’s book, or put the token towards another book you want.

To make the trip a success, we need lots of parents to come with us so that the children can enjoy looking through the Children’s Book section of the shop and can choose a book to buy with their token. If you have some free time on Thursday please speak to Michele – your help will be much appreciated.

During the week, the children will also be making their own books in the nursery, and taking part in lots of experiences to give them a really good introduction to early reading and enjoying children’s literature.

Community Psychology at Kate Greenaway

Dawn Cutler is our local community psychologist and is often at the Centre. She is a specialist in issues such as sleep, food, behaviour and toilet training as well as exploring how it feels to be a parent. She often supports parents who are struggling with a particular issue or in setting routines or boundaries with their children. She is available for free one to one sessions with parents, just ask a member of the community team.

Dawn also regularly attends our Thursday ‘Being a parent’ stay and play (10am-12pm) and our groups for young babies, so you can also drop in and meet her there.

Ask Jan, Dawn or Liz if you would like more information.
