Most children get a Bookstart pack before they start school, either from nursery or playgroup.
I have got a funded child who hasn't been to either and will start school in September. She hasn't had a pack, so I emailed Bookstart, who gave me the email address of the local co-ordinator, who in turn sent a pack to the library for me to collect. Mindee and I wandered to the library yesterday to get it - she was so excited!
You get a story book and a parent's guide in a cardboard envelope that has got cut-out activities on it. It's not much, but better than nothing!
So, if you have any children about to go to school who haven't received a pack through pre-school or nursery, send Bookstart an email and ask about getting them through your setting :thumbsup:
