The Speech & Language Garden Training Package brings specialist speech and language knowledge, practical strategies, implementation resources and leadership tools together in one flexible online package.
Designed for education teams across Early Years, primary and secondary settings.
🌷 12 months' access 🌷 Learn at your own pace 🌷 Individual and team licences 🌷
Your staff don't need to become speech and language specialists.
But they do need to feel confident supporting communication.
Every day, education and childcare staff work with children whose speech, language and communication needs affect how they understand, learn, participate and interact.
But knowing that communication matters and knowing what to do about it are two very different things.
Staff need practical knowledge they can apply in the classroom, setting or wider school environment, without every query or concern needing to become a referral to a specialist service.
From identifying need to embedding inclusive practice
The Training Package supports your team across all areas of SEND and inclusive practice:
🔎 Identification
Recognise communication needs and barriers
Help staff develop the knowledge and confidence to notice potential speech, language and communication needs and understand how these may affect learning, participation and behaviour.
📝 Systems & Monitoring
Build consistency and know what is happening
Support SENCOs and leaders to develop staff confidence, consistent approaches, appropriate recording and monitoring, and a shared understanding of communication-friendly practice.
🫴 Intervention & Support
Respond with appropriate support
Give staff practical strategies and resources they can use as part of everyday provision, targeted support and classroom practice.
🌳 Review, Prepare & Plan
Use what you learn to improve provision
Use staff skills audits, reflection tools, monitoring information and professional knowledge to identify priorities, plan CPD and continually strengthen provision.
Everything your team needs to keep learning

More than a collection of courses
This training package brings together specialist CPD and practical resources covering a broad range of speech, language and communication needs.
That means you don't have to predict exactly which training every member of staff will need.
Your team can explore the areas most relevant to their role, their pupils and the needs you are seeing across your setting, with the flexibility to revisit training and resources throughout their 12 months of access.
One package. A whole team. A year of professional development.
Build staff confidence
Give staff the knowledge to understand communication needs and respond appropriately.
Create consistency
Move from individual staff members having pockets of expertise to a more consistent whole-setting approach.
Support inclusion
Build communication-friendly practice into everyday provision.
Create lasting capability
Give staff resources they can revisit and use long after they've completed the training.
The goal isn't more certificates on a training record.
It's more confident adults and better communication support for children.
🌳 For Different Types of Settings
🌱 Early Years
Build staff confidence in supporting early communication, language development and speech, while recognising children who may need additional support.
🌿 Primary

Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Beth, a Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist who has spent more than 15 years working in mainstream schools, early years settings, and with families.
Across all those years, and all those classrooms, I’ve seen the same challenges come up again and again:
“We want to help… we just need someone to show us what to do.”
Teachers, SENCOs, TAs and practitioners are doing incredible work — but they’re often left without clear, expert guidance they can rely on day-to-day.
That’s why I created The Garden.
A space where you can access specialist support that feels doable.
A space where training is straightforward, explanations make sense, and every resource is designed with your setting in mind.
A space where you don’t have to sift through scattered advice or guess what a child needs — because it’s all laid out for you.
No jargon.
No overwhelm.
Just expert guidance you can trust, created by someone who understands both the classroom and the clinical side.
