I am interested in the approach of the son-rise programme.
I was delighted to get the opportunity to give this information to former Shadow Education Secretary: Tristham Hunt MP and Jeremy Lefroy MP.
It contains strategies which work well for both babies, pmld children and autistic children and is in-line with speech therapy ideology.In essence the programme can be adapted so that the adult joins the child's explorative play to aid the child's speech and general development enhancing both EYFS learning outcomes and national curriculum outcomes and was found by listening to parents. The programme is American.

" Safeguarding is effective. The childminder is confident about the process to follow if she has any concerns about a child's welfare. The childminder is a qualified teacher. She uses this training to provide challenging experiences that have a positive impact on children's learning. She attends other regular training to help keep up to date with current issues. Children are prepared well for the next stage in their journey" Ofsted March 2018

I really like the range of activities that Louise undertakes with x. They are diverse and she treats him like an individual as opposed to simply like 'a baby'. Louise's service is invaluable - you can't put a price on it!
Claire Orange: 5***** parent of pre-school child
I met Louise through the tots group on a Monday and Friday and she is brilliant!! Me and my little girl really enjoy going, there is always so much to do, crafts, messy play, going outdoors, stories and songs, learning about different foods, and most importantly snack! We would recommend these groups to everyone, thanks Louise for all the hard work you put in �
I feel very lucky that you have been willing to take on 'x'. You certainly have nurture and attachment at heart
