Our sessions take place in a Family Hub or Centre over 3 weeks. The first session looks at the importance of using Books and Rhymes within the home and how this can help increase speech development. Your child will receive a free Bookstart bag.

The following 2 sessions we look at fun, playful activities which encourage speech and language development. The activities involve the use of everyday objects and toys you will have in your home, so they can be repeated.

Between the ages of 1 and 3 years, your toddler grows, learns and develops a huge amount. Barnardo's Family Space have resources to provide guidance and support for helping your toddler’s growth and development.
