Teddy Bears Nursery School in Portsmouth is helping to inspire a love of stories in their local community – one book at a time!

As part of a fun new community initiative, the nursery team has been leaving books in public places around Portsmouth for children and families to discover, enjoy, and share. Each book comes with a message encouraging families to read together and then pass the story along to someone else.

“We wanted to do something simple but meaningful that would help connect children and families through reading,” said a member of the Teddy Bears team. “There’s something really special about finding a book when you’re not expecting it – it can spark curiosity and joy, and that’s exactly what we’re all about.”

Located on Southampton Road, North Harbour, Teddy Bears Nursery is proud to be part of Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools, offering high-quality early years education in a warm, safe, and inclusive environment. With a strong focus on child development, literacy, and community engagement, the nursery team is always looking for new ways to extend learning beyond the classroom.

Keep an eye out around Portsmouth – you might just stumble upon a story waiting to be read!
