		<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;We&nbsp;place a huge value on adults reading stories to children both at home and at school. Children who are read to regularly, strive to become readers themselves.&nbsp; We are keen share early reading skills, and support parents and carers with help and ideas for enjoying books and stories together with young children.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Look out for our&nbsp;learning story each week on our noticeboards, when dropping off or collecting.&nbsp; You may know the story well, or it may be an unknown&nbsp;one for you.&nbsp; Whether familiar or new, the book of the week is always exciting to&nbsp;all children.&nbsp;We also share our&nbsp;book of the week with all families on our learning journal Tapestry.

All children in both the caterpillars and butterflies rooms, can choose a book from the nursery library to take home in their nursery book bag each week.&nbsp; We have library grandparents who volunteer each week to come and support the children to choose a new book to take home.&nbsp; Our wonderful grandparents&nbsp;read&nbsp;lots of stories throughout the sessions&nbsp;they attend.&nbsp; If you have a family member who would like to be a library volunteer each week at nursery, even if it is just for a term, then we would love to welcome them.&nbsp; Just speak to someone in the school office, thank you.&nbsp;

We also have close links with local libraries.&nbsp; Sometimes we visit the libraries in town,&nbsp;or sometimes librarians come into the nursery to read to the children here.&nbsp; There is always time for a story!&nbsp;
