SERVICES FOR EARLY YEARS, SCHOOLS AND ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS

No two nurseries, schools or education providers are the same, which is why our speech and language therapy support for schools is flexible and tailored to your setting. 

Whether you are a parent looking for SALT support in school, or a SENCO or leader seeking specialist speech and language therapy provision, packages can be shaped around your children’s needs, staff capacity and budget.

This flexible approach means your nursery, school or education setting can access private speech and language therapy in school in a way that feels achievable, sustainable and high quality. It also helps parents feel reassured that their child’s speech, language and communication needs are being supported in the place where they learn every day.

We provide individual and small group speech and language therapy assessment and support in school and nursery, tailored to each child’s strengths, profile and needs. 

Sessions are play-based, neurodiversity-affirming and goal-focused, with practical strategies that staff can carry into the classroom, learning environment and daily routines so progress continues beyond therapy time.

Having a consistent Speech and Language Therapist in your setting means children, staff and families have a familiar point of contact. This allows us to respond flexibly to changing needs, whether that is delivering therapy, modelling strategies, reviewing targets, supporting SENCOs or providing staff training. Over time, this consistency builds trust, strengthens relationships and creates more joined-up support around the child.

We can also provide private Speech and Language Therapy support in school alongside existing NHS speech and language therapy, helping to bridge gaps in provision and maintain momentum. This can be especially valuable when families, nurseries or schools are worried about waiting times, missed support, or a child needing help now with speech, language, social communication or classroom access.

This means children do not have to miss out on vital speech and language support during important stages of learning and development, and settings can feel confident that communication needs are being identified and supported as early as possible.

Whole class or whole setting screening helps identify speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) early, so no child is overlooked. This can be particularly helpful for nurseries, schools and SENCOs who want a clearer picture of communication needs across a class, year group or setting.

Our comprehensive speech and language assessments for children in nursery and school are detailed, neurodiversity-affirming and designed to understand each child’s strengths, differences and support needs. These assessments provide a strong foundation for tailored intervention, practical recommendations and next steps at home and in education.

We can provide robust speech and language therapy reports for EHCP applications, annual reviews and provision planning, with clear recommendations for support, outcomes and provision. This strengthens the evidence base for children whose speech, language and communication needs affect their access to learning.

We also support goal setting for speech, language and communication needs, linking therapy targets to EHCP outcomes, SEN support plans and curriculum access so progress feels joined-up, meaningful and relevant in the classroom.

We use evidence-based outcome measures to track and demonstrate progress in speech, language and communication over time, giving schools and families a clear picture of impact.

Our end-of-year summary reports clearly show the impact of speech and language therapy across your setting, making them useful for SENCOs, leadership teams, governors and Ofsted preparation.

We offer dedicated coaching, modelling and consultation for staff so that speech and language strategies can be embedded into teaching, play and everyday routines. This practical support helps staff feel more confident in identifying and meeting children’s speech, language and communication needs across the day.

We also provide resources and strategies that can be shared with parents and carers, helping create consistency between home and school. Family coaching and parent training can also be included, so adults around the child feel supported and confident in how to help.

We support settings to create language-rich, communication-friendly classrooms and to embed neurodiversity-affirming, inclusive practice across the whole environment. This benefits individual children, strengthens universal provision and helps build a more accessible school community.

We offer practical, engaging speech and language therapy training and CPD for nurseries, schools and education providers, tailored to the needs of your setting. 

Example topics include:

• Early speech and language development
• Supporting autistic communication 
• Understanding neurodiversity
• AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) 
• Link between sensory and communication 
• Creating language and communication friendly environments 
• Supporting understanding through questions (Blank Levels)
• Using declarative language 
• Understanding Selective Mutism 

We work closely with SENCOs, leadership teams, teachers, parents and other professionals to ensure speech and language therapy support is bespoke, high quality and aligned with the wider priorities of your setting and the needs of the children you support.
