Community of Research and Practice
The Talk To Your Baby Community of Research and Practice is an online network open to everyone who shares our interest in the development of young children’s speech, language, and communication. It brings together researchers and academics who are particularly interested in the development of theory, investigation and enquiry, with practitioners who are working with children and families to promote high-quality practice at home, in early years settings, and across local communities.
If you think the community might be of interest to you, then it probably is. If you’d like to participate, you need register as a user of our website and create a user profile. This is free of charge. If you already have a username and password for our site, you simply need to log in. Then you will be able to contribute to the discussion threads below.

Free early education for two-year-olds

The Coalition Government continues to put early years on the agenda with a commitment to funded places for two-year-olds. From September 2013, 10 more local authorities will be piloting this scheme and we would like to know what your thoughts are on this.
Do you feel that the programme they have proposed is possible?
Are there funding issues?
What can be done to ensure quality practice?
We welcome your thoughts.
