Does anyone have any recommendations for private therapy sessions? It will be for our 3 year old son who has some pronounication issues... not really sure what can be done at but his nursery thinks there is an issue. We're having to wait months for our NHS sessions and just want to get the ball moving as soon as possible. Any suggestions much appreciated!
Our 3 year old also had pronunciation issues (pm me if you want to discuss as it depends what they are). We started speech therapy when he was 4 and went the NHS route as the referral seemed to come through reasonably quickly. He did make some progress but then went to reception class at a school with a speech therapist and she was amazing. Think what I'm saying is that 3 is still young and whilst it is good to get things checked out, it might not be the end of the world if you have to wait for the NHS (within reason)

My son had issues with delayed speech sounds that his nursery picked up when he was 3 - they found they were having difficulties understanding him. We paid for a report from Jen Warwick, to tide us over until his NHS appointment came through. With hindsight, I am not sure Jen's report was strictly necessary other than for our peace of mind - in the end the end, after we chased Sunshine House, the NHS appointment came through quite quickly. He then had input from both his NHS and school SALT and daily speech work sessions with the teaching assistant at school until he was signed off when he was 6. Just to add, there is a well known correlation between delayed speech sounds and dyslexia.

Obviously may not be a problem for you, but worth keeping an eye on (my son is being referred for the early dyslexia screening programme at school, but we also have a family history of dyslexia).


Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you want to know more.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
