Extra Support for Nursery to Year 1

Merton Library Service
The local libraries are a great source of information and support for the education of young children.  We would encourage all Merton children in care to join the library and use it regularly to get books, stories on tape and CD's and videos.  There are also a number of special events after school and in the holidays for children of all ages. 

Most local libraries have a story time each week for carers and children.  This is a great way to meet other young families and to develop a child's early interest in books and reading.
