Health, Wellbeing and Care Hub - Talk Time: Stay and Play

Talk Time: Stay and Play Sessions : Supporting early communication through play and interaction.

The sessions provide a welcoming and supportive space for children and their parents or carers to learn, play and grow together.

Further info

Each session combines practical information for parents with opportunities for children to engage in play-based activities. Families will learn simple, evidence-informed strategies to support speech, language and communication development during everyday interactions, helping to build confidence in supporting their child's communication at home.

The sessions also offer opportunities to discuss your child's communication development with Speech and Language Therapists, ask questions, share experiences with other parents and receive advice and support.

Whether you are looking to encourage your child's early language skills, support their social communication, or learn new ways to promote communication through play, Talk Time provides a fun, interactive and supportive environment for both children and their families.

Who can use this service?

Parents, carers and young children who would benefit from support to develop early speech, language and communication skills through play and everyday interaction.
