Happy World Hello Day! 👋

Today we wanted to highlight the various forms of communication children might use to express themselves.

Communication may include:
• gestures,
• signs (BSL, Makaton),
• facial expressions,
• pictures
• vocalisations (e.g. screaming, cheering),
• AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

Our Toy of the Week this week is the Jumini Wobbly Stacker. We had lots of fun with our little ones last week with this toy.

Children loved stacking the rings, lining them up or watching it wobble

It provided lots of opportunity to follow a child’s lead and model language such as:

“this is fun”, “here’s another one”, “on it goes”, “wow, it’s so wobbly”, “on”, “again”

We have some available to purchase from The Hive shop 🐝

This week has been World Nursery Rhyme Week.

World Nursery Rhyme Week promotes the importance of nursery rhymes in early childhood development and education. We are taking this time to share how we can encourage communication through songs and rhymes.

- Nursery rhymes and songs are a great way to help children develop their language skills.

- Nursery rhymes use rhyming words, rhythm and repetitive phrases which are often easily remembered by children.

- They are a great way to introduce new vocabulary and help children learn about the word around them.

- Some children communicate through using favourite songs and rhymes and its helpful for adults to acknowledge this and join in.

At The Hive we love to use songs and rhymes in sessions. 🐝🎶

Happy World Kindness Day!

We thought it was a perfect time to share this quote: "Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give"

This reminds us that anyone can do random acts of kindness and the positivity that follows these!

We hope you enjoy the rest of your day 😊

Isla works as a part time receptionist alongside her studies. Isla plans to start university in September next year to train to be a speech and language therapist.

Beth joined the team two months ago in a voluntary role and we are excited to welcome her as a receptionist starting later this month.

Hello again to all of our new followers and those of you that have followed a journey for a while now! 🐝

We would like to take some time to reintroduce some of our Speech Stuff team 😊. Today we are going to focus on our therapy team, these are the people that will be supporting you in your speech and language therapy sessions.

Julie is the owner of Speech Stuff and supports therapy through her role as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and Sensory Integration Practitioner. Julie has over 14 years of experience working with children and specialises in supporting autism, early language and selective mutism through a sensory informed child-led therapy approach. 🐝

Rebecca has been part of our team for nearly 6 months now! The time has flown by, she has supported many families within her role as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist ☺️. Rebecca has 6 years experience working as an SLT in the NHS with children aged 2-16 and she is passionate about developing language and confidence through play. She specialises in supporting therapy which focuses on stammering, speech sound difficulties and early language development.

Toni is our Speech and Language Therapy Assistant. She is currently in her final year of her undergraduate degree and alongside her studies she is supporting some joint sessions providing additional time for you to talk to Julie about your child, while she joins in with play. 🐝

Children learn about their environment and the world through play. Child-led play is following a child’s interests and allowing them to lead instead of having your own agenda and this is a really useful way to support children's language development. Connecting through child-led play shows our little ones we value their interests.

Following a child’s lead in play, is also a valuable way to support their overall communication skills. This is because during play we are demonstrating language and communication that is related to their interests and provides opportunities for us to model language that is meaningful to them.

Our therapy team deliver lots of high quality play based intervention sessions to support our little ones to develop their communication skills while having lots of fun!

Happy National Cat Day! 🐈😺

Today we are sharing picture of Isla’s lovely cat Ponyo.

Ponyo is translated from Japanese to mean 'soft' or 'squishy'. We think this is the perfect name for such an elegant and fluffy furry friend!

26/10/2025

Today we would like to re-introduce our friendly therapy space (The Hive), to our new followers and those that have followed our journey for a while now. 🐝

When you arrive at The Hive our reception staff will welcome you in through the door and let the therapy team know that you are here. 👋

Our friendly reception area is filled with comfy seats, fun toys and books to keep you and your child entertained when you arrive. 📚🧸

One of our therapists will join you in the reception and direct you to their room (their face is on the door😊).

The therapy spaces are child friendly (no desks!) and are prepared with games and toys related to your child’s interests.

Each child is unique, and every session reflects that. The team will explore activities at your child's own pace, following their lead to ensure they feel safe and support their development in a fun way. 🐝
