TINY TALKERS

Laura and her class families would like to donate any unused spaces in our classes to parents with young children from Ukraine.

 

They use British sign language, alongside songs, stories and development activities to help children communicate before they can talk, (this works well across all languages) and each session includes a free play element with refreshments for parents/carers and time to chat and feel part of things together.

 

Please call Laura for a chat in the first instance 07940 519 653
