The stage at the National Baby Week conference

Lizzie presenting at the conference with a slide about Bookstart Baby

Will presenting on the role of shared reading in the early years.

Lizzie and Will from our Partnerships team had a great time speaking at the #BabyWeek2025 National Conference today in Leeds.

They discussed the benefits of early shared reading, and how Bookstart Baby helps to build bonds from the earliest age.

Image of the Best Start for Life Offer for 24–25. Text reads “A guide to local support and services” and “…giving children the best start”. The design features a tree-shaped graphic symbolising family and growth. Below, there is an image of a parent holding a baby and a photo of an ultrasound scan.

The first 1001 days of a child’s life, from pregnancy to age 2, is when a baby’s brain develops the most. Having the right start makes a big difference to their future.
