🎂Talking To Our Babies Waterside is 12!🎂

⭐Today marks 12 years since this project started in the Waterside. The aim of the project is to help parents have a better understanding of how children’s speech & language develops, and how best to support & enhance their child’s emerging communication skills in their early years.
⭐We do this through delivering training courses for parents & early years staff, running lots of different parent & baby/ toddler classes, and providing free information packs and books.
⭐Thank you all for your support over the past 12 years, and to our funders, the Department for Communities.
