I honestly thought with all my previous training I was doing all possible but with a few tweaks and changes due to the course it has helped so much, plus given me some extra drive I had lost a little, I honestly didn’t expect it. Would highly recommend to anyone to undertake this course. :)

Thank you so much, from both myself and the children!

A brilliant course which has a positive impact on our youngest learners. Thank you

I did not expect to see so much progress with a child I have been supporting before this course, to happen during undertaking the course assignments. This course has made a huge impact on my setting and the child's development, and I cannot recommend enough!

This is a brilliant course, especially developing knowledge with supporting children with their speech and language. It goes in depth and gives support strategies to develop a child's progress, setting out new activities.

I have found by taking this course I have been much more confident in my practice and have been able to put into place strategies in supporting the language and communication of the children at the setting. I feel confident to share what I have learnt with the settings practitioners and our parents. I also wish to create some resources for the setting and put into action some new ideas once shared.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this course. Its been so interesting and informative, thank you. I will be looking at doing other courses offered by ELKLAN in the near future.

This is one of the best courses I have been on since completing my childcare qualification 16 years ago, i have honestly learnt so much and would recommend this course to anyone working with children aged 0-3 years.

This has been a very informative and useful course and I think all early years practitioners should have an opportunity to do it.

I have throughly loved every minute of this course, learning great ways to enhance childrens speech, language and communication, listening to the tutors experiences, ideas and feedback, engaging with other practitioners listening about their settings, giving each other new and exciting ideas to try have really motivated me to try lots of new things at my setting and share ideas and strategies with my collegues. I have already requested with my manager for me to enrol on a 3-5s course. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on this cause, I have learnt such valuable information that I will continue to develop in my every day practice and with my own children. It's changed the way I communicate with children and given me far more understanding in the processes a child must go through in order to generate a response. I now have a better understanding of how to identify S, L & C difficulties in children and how to try to develop these through skills I have learned.

This was the most useful course I have ever done and is so relevant to my job role. I feel much more confident in supporting all children with their speech, language and communication development and well equipped to recognise if and when a child may need further intervention. I feel so glad to have been given this opportunity.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and recommend it to anyone. Looking forward to going on to complete the level 4 and share with all staff.

Really enjoyed the course. I found it enjoyable and used a lot of the information in practice. I would love to work within this field and would love to do more courses like this in the future.

I have found the course very informative. The webinars each week have been very helpful, the chance to talk and share our experiences with one another. The tutor has been amazing and very supportive, Thank you

The staff were all so much more confident for having almost a term's worth of our Elklan practice under our belts amongst other CPD so I wanted to say thank you. Our inspector verbally fed back that it was amazing to see such a wealth of knowledge and high quality of practice across all the team; even the most inexperienced including our first year apprentice. So we really are grateful! . The impact on the team has been so great. I’ve got staff talking about ICWs and making photo cards in their break times; also making story baskets and offering ideas for building phonemic awareness in staff meetings. It’s changed our culture I really do believe! So thank you!

Thank you for the opportunity to access this course. I have learnt a wealth of information that i can now use within everyday practice within the nursery environment. The videos and training provided by Elklan were honest and by showing a negative video I could reflect on not only their practice but our own. Marie and Lynda were fantastic and made the webinair sessions enjoyable and by sharing thier own practice and other people of the training i have learnt a range of different skills and ideas on how to do things! Thank you

I just want to say thank you, I have really enjoyed it and have learnt a lot from this, this will help develop my skills and the practitioners.

Very informative love the layout of the slide lots of detailed information would 100% recommend. The amount of information you learn is so vast! And I loved the conversations we were able to have between settings over the meetings to learn from each other. I was sad for it to come to an end!

Tutors have been fantastic.Really engaging and supportive.I feel so much more confident and knowledgeable in supporting children in speaking and receptive language development.

Using the favourite vocab we have noticed the children […] have taken these words and fully understand the meaning and can now use them in their play.

The Vocabulary Planner is invaluable in planning for the words and prompts that could be used to encourage language in individual children. Invaluable guidance for all practitioners.

I just wanted you to know how valuable it's been for me to do this course. I would champion this course to anyone. It has given me a new level of understanding for the children I work with and how difficult it must be for children who really have a development delay.
