What settings say
Real words from teams I've worked with.
★★★★★
"Chelsea is kind, caring and supportive. She came into my setting and really wanted to get to know the child, she spent the first part of the session really getting to know and understand them.
At the time, I had very little experience with outside companies coming in to support children with a speech delay or any other need, Chelsea not only supported the child but me and my team too! As early years practitioners, we learnt a lot on how to support children and what we can do in our day to day routine to help the children develop. Chelsea really knows what she's doing, different tools and techniques to tailor to the child.
It has really been a pleasure to work alongside Chelsea, she made such a difference coming into our setting and it has even made me want to look into being a speech and language therapist in the future. I would highly recommend Chelsea, a million times!"

Quick questions
A few things settings often ask me.
Can training be tailored to our setting?
Yes. Every session is shaped around your team, the children you work with and what you'd like to feel more confident with.
Do you deliver training online?
Yes. Training can be delivered in person in your setting or live online, whichever works best for your team.
How many staff can attend?
Sessions work for small teams and larger groups alike. Tell me how many people you have in mind and I'll suggest the best format.
Can you work with a specific child in our setting?
Yes, with the family's consent. I can assess and support a child in your setting and share strategies with staff so everyone is working together.
Who is supervision for?
Supervision is for speech and language therapists, particularly those working with children with feeding, swallowing or communication needs.
