Speech and Language Therapy in Early Years Setting

We are able to offer tailor made services to local preschools and nurseries. We visit nurseries and provide support to develop targets for individual children or small groups. Therapy games and ideas are demonstrated and shared with staff and high quality resources provided.

We are also able to offer a range of tailor made training sessions to nurseries/pre-schools including the highly researched Early Talk Boost Programme by ICan. Some settings have arranged short sessions to coincide with their staff meetings.

Some Nurseries have contracted our services to visit their setting for 3-6 hours on a weekly/fortnightly basis.
