On Saturday some of the team gave up their weekend to take Makaton Level 2, and the signs are good as we all passed!

As part of our diversity and equality policy we strive to be able to communicate on all levels, and it has been proven that Makaton can be that kick start to speech delay that some children may experience.

Update: Makaton signing is becoming a standard part of all the children’s days at Beech Tree Childcare. We are working towards becoming a Makaton Ready Workplace and the exciting news is that when we do that, we will look to have Local and National Celebrity Dave Benson-Phillips come to the setting! Watch this space!

Currently two of the team are also undertaking Makaton Safeguarding Training to help us communicate with the children should we encounter any safeguarding issues.
