Baby Talk and Play
 Working together with parents and professionals to look in detail at children's behaviour and early language development.

Parents

Baby Talk and Play offers a fun way of working together with families to help them better understand how children are communicating from birth . By looking in detail with Mums and Dads at their child's behaviour, the aim is to support the developing communicative relationship and be clear about what they can do at home to support it. It is also a space for families to support one another and share their experiences together.
Individual and small group courses are available.
