......when did you receive yours??
did the health visitor give it to you??
 
They're usually given out at the 7-9 month development check, and the next one is given out at the 2 year development check. Then there's a preschool treasure chest that they get when they're 4/5 xx
 
The hv never gave me my one for Rhys but I went to the library to ask and they gave me one, I got the second from 'book bugs' at the library as well, don't know why my hv hasn't given me any. I'm pretty sure the first one is supposed to be given at around 16 weeks. xx
 
We got the first pack from the council when we registered the birth when LO was a week old. Haven't had any since then. LO is 8 months and haven't heard about a 6 month check :(

I didn't kbow about a 6 month check either.. my doc said the next ones a yea??!. X
 
My vouchers were in the Red Child Health Record book i got when LO was born (page 12) i just take it to the Libary and they signed to say it was received. All 3 vouchers were printed on this page.

I guess it depends on where you live.
 
i got mine last week at her 9 month check (she is 1 next week) but had to go get it from library
 
I got given mine by the hv at Jacobs 9 month check
 
wow im really suprised that most of you had to wait so long to get yours because from what i was told they are supposed to be given out quite early because the baby pack includes a newborn baby book with those special black&white pics that newborns love..... maybe they just forget to give them out?? i'm gonna ask for mine early :)
 
Never heard of this either?! What is it?

if you google 'book start' it will take you to their website
its basically a free scheme to get little ones into reading at an early age and every child 'should' receive a 'baby pack' and then a 'preschool pack' with a few free books in it and advice for parents about reading to your LO'S

supposedly your health visitor is supposed to give you them
 
i'm getting mine after his next set of jabs at 16 weeks :)
 
8 month review. Although I'm gutted! Imogen should get one at her two year review too but hv said the stupid government have stopped them and the baby ones will be next to be stopped!

We got ours just after birth but it didn't have black and white books in, had 2 colour books called Peepo Baby and Wheres My Nose. I did hear though that the Bookstart books are being stopped soon :(
 
Daisy got hers at her 8 month check and is due her next one at her 2.5 year check xx
