Are you looking at CPD in your setting?

Do you have children with communication difficulties?

No experience necessary, this “Makaton Early Years” course can greatly benefit the children in your setting.

Makaton is used for teaching communication, language and literacy skills with children and adults who are at an early stage of communication and language development. This structured approach can also help people who are learning English as an additional language, helping them to communicate straightaway, while also supporting their learning.
