This will give your child a flying start with phonics. This programme has been developed in a range of settings by a range of practitioners. It incorporates the latest research about early language and literacy development so you can trust that your child is getting the very best start to developing a love of learning, and enhancing their communication skills.
Early Talk Boost
Early Talk Boost is a targeted programme aimed at 3-4 year old children who need guidance and targeted support with talking and understanding words. Most importantly, the programme helps to boost their language skills and build confidence. The programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language and communication by an average of 5 months after 9 weeks.
Tooth Brush Club
Big Brush Club, a service provided by At Home Dental, who are committed to improving children’s oral health. This brilliant supervised toothbrushing programme supports 3 to 5-year-olds attending reception, nursery, or preschool.
In accordance with the NHS’ supervised toothbrushing initiative, we support oral health in the classroom setting. The aim of the programme is for every child to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste once a day and ideally twice a day at home too! Teaching good brushing routines from an early age helps reduce oral health inequalities among children.
