Setting Support menu
We are happy to offer individual support to Early Years settings in our
Language Lead network; take a look inside for some ideas of how we
could help.
New Language Lead ‘meet and greet’
We love to meet our new Language Leads in person; it’s great to see your settings and to have a chat about what the role will be and the support we can offer.
Speech, Language and Communication Framework
Supporting you to use this free online professional development tool, to understand the knowledge and development needs of your staff.
Workforce Development Planning
Do you know what your team know and what they don't ?! Do you get confused about which workshops will be best suited to your setting? We can work with you to identify your training needs and put a plan in place.
Put your new Learning into Practice!
After attendance at any of our workshops, we can offer a follow up visit to support practitioners to put their learning into practice. For example, how are you using your newly learnt Makaton signs? How are your Hanen strategies working? How are you engaging with parents now?
Supporting good practice
Is there an area of your setting’s practice you would like support with? E.g. developing
interactions in the baby room; using story times for conversation; sound awareness.
Accessing Specialist Services
Support with how and when to make referrals to Speech and Language Therapy.
Early Years Commitment
To help you address every aspect of communication development across your early
years setting; we can support you review your setting’s practice and create an action plan using the Early Years Commitment tools.
Using visuals
Would you like support with:
· Using visuals to support children’s understanding/routines/transitions
· Reducing visual distractions in your environment to help children focus.
If you’d like to discuss any of the support outlined in this leaflet,
please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
