Reading at the table (and other book-related dilemmas)
I’m genuinely interested in people’s views on how they present books and reading in their own homes, because I find myself conflicted about the best approach to take with C and H. Obviously when children are very young (I’m talking about the can’t-hold-their-own-head-up stage through to the wow-I-can-kind-of-sort-of-roll stage) they are not often holding the […]
My mum, the Olympics and my motivation to start Story Seekers
Wow, the title of this post sounds a little like the game that Granny used to play (which I’ve mentioned before on here) where the eager listeners throw out three random ideas and the storyteller weaves them into an imaginative narrative. Bear with me, though, as hopefully it’ll make sense eventually! I, like pretty much […]
Taking Story Seekers into children’s centres
Just a quick post, but this article from Nursery World reinforced my feelings about how I’d love to take Story Seekers sessions into children’s centres. I think that there are some parents who would potentially find the cost and/or atmosphere at a pre-paid baby and toddler class off-putting. However, it might be that these same parents […]

What follows is my current thinking on what each Story Seekers session (from the age of three months onwards) will […]
Putting it out there………
Right, so I figured I might just write down, for the first ‘official’ time, what my thoughts and hopes are about what Story Seekers could become. Having worked in a very structured profession as a teacher all my adult life and having had no-one close to me who has ever set up their own business […]
Some fun in the sun!
Check me out – two days in a row – woo hoooo! I was so chuffed to get a response yesterday that I’ve been inspired to write again today. I’m working on the basis that getting into the habit of updating this regularly will help and that I don’t always have to write the reams […]
An update…
So, clearly I haven’t been updating this as often as I’d planned! I’m still finding it quite hard to just throw stuff ‘out there’, but hey ho! I will try and do better and keep reminding myself that leaving my comfort zone is a GOOD thing! I’m still loving the display-style bookcase that we put […]
