Services for early years providers and schools

No two settings are the same — which is why you’re in control of the support you receive. Options include:

• Full-day or half-day sessions
• Ad hoc input when you need it most
• Standalone screening or assessment blocks
• Focused support for EHCP provision and statutory requirements
• Termly or year-long contracts — with no obligation to commit to a full year

This flexibility means you can build a package that suits your budget, your staff capacity, and your children’s needs — while knowing you’ll still get consistent, high-quality support.

Individual or small group sessions tailored to children’s strengths and needs. Sessions are playful, goal-focused, and always linked to strategies that staff can use beyond therapy time, ensuring the impact continues in everyday routines and classrooms.

With a consistent therapist onsite, I become a familiar face in your setting — like an extension of your team. That means I can flexibly respond to the needs of the day, whether that’s running therapy sessions, supporting staff with strategies, checking in on targets, or advising on classroom practice. This consistency builds trust, strengthens relationships, and ensures children, staff, and families feel supported over time.

Many children face long waits for NHS Speech & Language Therapy, or receive limited sessions that can’t always meet their full needs. I can provide flexible top-up therapy alongside NHS provision to ensure consistency and progress, always working collaboratively so support is joined-up.

For children waiting for assessment or therapy to begin, I can bridge the gap with early input — helping to reduce frustration, prevent further difficulties, and give staff and families practical strategies they can use straight away.

This means children don’t miss out on vital support during crucial stages of their development, and settings can feel confident that their pupils’ needs are being met in the meantime.

• Whole-class/whole-setting screening: Helping you identify speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) early, so no child is missed.

• Comprehensive assessment: Detailed, neurodiversity-affirming assessments to understand children’s strengths, challenges, and next steps. These provide a strong foundation for tailored support plans and interventions.

• Robust contribution to EHCPs: Clear, comprehensive reports with recommendations for provision and outcomes that directly strengthen EHC needs applications.

• Goal setting & IEP support: Speech, language, and communication targets linked to IEPs, EHCPs, and curriculum goals — ensuring joined-up, meaningful progress.

• Outcome measures: Evidence-based tools to track and demonstrate children’s progress.

• End-of-year summary reports: Clear reporting that showcases impact across the setting — ideal for governors, leadership teams, and Ofsted inspections.

Dedicated coaching and modelling for teaching assistants, teachers, and key workers to embed strategies into everyday routines, lessons, and play. Support is practical, achievable, and designed to make staff feel confident in meeting children’s communication needs.

Resources and strategies that can be easily shared with parents, creating consistency between home and school. By strengthening family partnership, children benefit from joined-up, meaningful support across all environments.

Support to create communication-friendly classrooms and embed neurodiversity-affirming, inclusive practice across your setting. This ensures that strategies benefit not just individual children, but the whole community.

Practical, engaging CPD tailored to your setting. Topics include:

I work closely with SENCOs, leadership teams, and other professionals to ensure support is consistent, sustainable, and aligned with wider school or nursery priorities.
