“Libraries play an important role in school readiness. They provide children with opportunities to develop early language, listening skills, concentration and a love of stories, all of which support a successful transition into Reception.

Working together has helped us give our new Reception families a positive start and has reinforced the message that supporting children's learning is a partnership between school, families and the wider community."
