Little Bookworms: July Book Recommendations

Welcome to ‘Little Bookworms’ our online children’s book club! Join us each month to explore a variety of exciting and educational book themes appropriate for all nursery ages.

The first day at nursery or preschool can be a daunting experience for both you and you little one. One of our top tips on how to prepare your child for nursery is to read them a storybook about starting nursery for the first time. Stories are a great way to familiarise your little one with a nursery environment and can help with the transition from home to nursery. If you can, we recommend you aim to get a book a few of weeks before your child starts and make it part of their bedtime routine.

We offer our very own illustrated storybook called ‘My First Day at Nursery’ By Caroline Meek, where you and your little one can join Ben on his first day, as he tries new activities and makes new friends. If you would like to find out more, email us at [email protected]. This book is limited edition, so get one while you can!

Otherwise, you can check out our recommendations for other books about starting nursery below:

This simple, reassuring story with bright, playful artwork is the perfect introduction to starting nursery for young children.

Toddlers: Maisy Goes to Nursery by Lucy Cousins

Maisy has lots of fun at nursery in this delightful pre-school story by the multi-award-winning Lucy Cousins. She and her friends sing at Music Time, nap at Quiet Time, listen at Book Time and then go into the garden for Play Time. What a day!
