Communication and Language

Communication and language is key to your child's development. As they begin to develop speaking and listening skills, they are building the foundations for literacy and learning. At Pinewood Family Group Pre-school, we strive to provide a communication rich environment, where children can learn key skills like how to express themselves and make friends.  For some children, this can be a bit trickier.  That's why we are here to help them in whatever way we can.    

Early Language Lead Practitioner (ELLP)

Pinewood Family Group Pre-School was chosen in 2010-2011 to take part in a year-long, national training strategy called ‘Every Child A Talker’ (ECAT).  

This involved our ELLP, Sharon Herbert, undergoing training to enable us, as a team to:

• Identify children at risk of delay in language and communication and providing support
• Raise children’s achievements in early language.

These skills are still in place and in use within the Pre-School.
