Reasons for not reading the book
A week’s too long
It’s his book
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!Plan, Do, Study, Act
What are we trying to accomplish?
What change can we make that will result in improvements?
How will we know that a change is an improvement?
By the end of June 90% of children at Grassmarket Nursery will receive a bedtime story at least 3 times a week.

Parents survey
Grassmarket changes
introduced.
Books available at collection time.
Research information handed to
parents.
weekly average displayed for parents
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.
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”
