Personalised bedtime stories
Personalised bedtime stories, written for your child and delivered every night
A brand-new story that stars your own child — their name, their favourite things, their kind of adventure — arriving by email every evening, ready to read aloud at bedtime.
What is a personalised bedtime story subscription?
A personalised bedtime story subscription emails a brand-new story starring your own child every night — written to their name, age and interests, and always winding down to a gentle goodnight. You never write or generate it yourself; it simply arrives, ready to read aloud.
Story Nest is one such subscription: £8.99 a month for one child, with a fresh personalised story delivered at a time you choose each evening.
What makes a Story Nest story personal
A generic story can put a child's name into a template. A genuinely personal one is shaped by who they are. When you set up Story Nest, you tell it a few things about your child, and every story is written from them:
- Their name and pronoun — they are the hero of every story, addressed the way you'd address them.
- The things they love — dinosaurs, diggers, the seaside, football, princess castles, the moon — woven into the adventure.
- A story world and tone — magic and fantasy, everyday adventures, animals, space, classic bedtime, faith-based, or a gentle mix; calm and soothing, gently adventurous, or fun and silly.
- An age band — so the length and language fit a two-year-old or a nine-year-old.
- Anything to avoid — nothing scary, no spiders, skip the dark; whatever your child finds worrying stays out.
How the nightly subscription works
The point of a subscription is that the effort disappears. You set it up once, and a new story arrives every evening without you lifting a finger.
- 1. Tell us about your child. Name, age, the things they love, the world they'd like, and anything to avoid.
- 2. We write their unique story. A fresh, gentle, bedtime-appropriate adventure, written to those details.
- 3. It arrives every night. Delivered by email at the time you choose, ready to read aloud.
- 4. It stays theirs. Reply any time to add a new favourite, change the delivery time, or steer the stories.
You can choose a fresh adventure each night, or an ongoing series set in the same world with the same characters — whichever your child prefers.
Personalised subscription vs a free story generator
There are free tools that will generate a one-off story if you type in a prompt. They can be fun to try. But bedtime, night after night, is a different job:
- Nothing to operate at bedtime. A free generator needs you to sit down and prompt it; a subscription simply delivers, so the story is already waiting.
- Consistent, remembered detail. Story Nest keeps your child's world — their name, favourites and the things to avoid — so every story fits, not just the one you carefully prompted.
- Written for calm, not just novelty. Each story is shaped to wind down towards sleep and end on a soft goodnight, rather than whatever a one-off prompt happens to produce.
Is it safe and age-appropriate?
Yes. Stories are written to be gentle and calming, matched to your chosen age band, and you decide what to keep out. Every story is built to settle a child rather than wind them up, and always closes on a quiet, reassuring goodnight. You stay in control: a reply to any email updates what your child sees.
