When do you gift this pack?
Most children will receive their Treasure Chest via their early years setting, ie pre-school playgroup or nursery.
However if a child doesn’t attend such a group or is minded at home or with a childminder, they can pick up a pack at their local library. Please ask parents to show their health record book before you gift their pack.
Please note that parents and children do not have to join the library to receive their Bookstart Treasure Chest.
