A warm place for little minds and big feelings

Accessibility

Different ways in
belong here too.

Last reviewed 26 September 2026. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 AA and to make stories and activities usable in more than one way. This is a commitment, not a claim of formal conformance.

How the site is checked

Pages are checked with automated linting, route/link audits, keyboard interaction, reduced-motion emulation and responsive browser tests at desktop, tablet and mobile widths. Key pages are also reviewed visually for contrast, clipping, focus, readable text and canonical character details.

Automated checks cannot prove that a site works for every person or assistive-technology combination. Feedback remains important.

PDFs and alternative formats

Printable PDFs use selectable, high-contrast text and original illustrations. They are not fully tagged accessible PDFs, and accessibility varies by reader and device. Every important instruction is repeated on the matching HTML page.

If you need a resource in another format, use the adult contact form and describe the format rather than sharing personal information about a child.

Known limitations

The storybook cover art and some watercolour scenes contain visual detail that cannot all be conveyed in a short alt description. Story animations are decorative and have no spoken content. Optional game music and soft chimes start off and do not carry information unavailable on screen. Games offer hints, keyboard and single-tap controls, pause and explicit finish points.

The third-party Amazon and official support websites have their own accessibility arrangements. We cannot control their interfaces.

Tell us about an access problem

We will review useful reports and prioritise barriers that prevent access to core content or downloads.
