Who we are
Twinkleboost is a Social Enterprise supporting children’s communication development through fairy tale themed communication classes. You’ll learn to support your baby and child’s early communication skills through powerful evidence based strategies used by Speech and Language Therapists.
We use fairy tales, songs, messy play and games to encourage the development of early communication skills, while equipping parents with powerful techniques to promote language development at home. Techniques which are regularly prescribed by Paediatric Speech and Language Therapists. Twinkleboost is for every family.
History & Achievements
Twinkleboost began in early 2015 when Hannah Broughton, a Child Development Specialist and Caspian Jamie, a Speech and Language Therapist and, noticed a gap in early Speech, Language and Communication support for parents and babies. Following a small pilot in April, Twinkleboost was officially formed in June 2015. The programme has evolved over time and quickly expanded across Greater Manchester and in 2021 launched in various locations throughout the UK.
Although we look like a fun baby class with a focus on sensory play and songs, we have a more serious side too. In our first 5 years we have provided Speech and Language training and support to more than 10,000 children, parents and professionals and our team have won or received ‘highly commended’ accolade for a total of 15 awards and we have partnered with organisations such as Manchester Metropolitan University and charities such as Barnardos to deliver our high quality support. We’ve showcased our work at National Conferences for Health Care Professionals and have won numerous awards for the support we provided parents during the Covid-19 pandemic.
