Early Talk and Early Talk Boost

Early Talk

Early Talk is a successful early years training and programme which involves working in partnership with parents to support the communication needs of children. The Early Talk 0-5 training programme has been independently evaluated as enhancing the learning environment for all children, with a long-term positive impact on staff and practice.  

Our Cherry Trees team have been trained in this programme to help support those children who need it. 

Early Talk Boost

Early Talk Boost is a targeted intervention aimed at 3-4 year old children with delayed language helping to boost their language skills to narrow the gap between them and their peers. The programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language and communication by an average of 6 months, after a nine week intervention. 

Children who are selected to take part in the intervention will attend three sessions per week during circle/story time, each lasting 15-20 minutes delivered by an early years practitioner. The sessions include activities that cover the foundation skills in speech, language and communication that children need for learning and understanding new words, as well as having conversations.

If we feel it will benefit your child to take part in these sessions, your child's keyworker will contact you to discuss this with you.
