No time
It’s not my kind of book.
So what did we do about it?
PDSA - Plan, Do, Study, Act “What will happen if we try something different?”
“Let’s try it!”
“What’s next? ”
“Did it work?”
How?
Think big, test small and scale up!

weekly average displayed for parents
Last week
84% of our children said they had a bedtime story.
THAT’S FANTASTIC!
87% of parents prefer to choose a book with their child
100% of parents prefer to choose a book any day of the week and as often as they
like.
53% of parents said the new Bedtime Story system has led to them reading to their child
more often.
40% of parents said the bedtime story has improved their child’s bedtime
routine.
He used to have DVD’s and be really late going to bed and now we use the bedtime story and he gets into bed and is sleeping longer… I’m hoping this will help with his behaviour.
100% of parents said both they and their child enjoyed the bedtime stories.
It’s a brilliant idea!
If it’s a first child and you don’t have children at school you don’t realise how important bedtime reading is. I wish I’d realised this when his sister was younger.
I read the leaflet and it said how they settle down better with the comfort of your voice. I asked Theresa if she liked my voice and she said yes. I asked what about daddy and she said “he reads like a robot”
