Comments from Peep parents and carers:
‘I’ve noticed much more how my baby is communicating with me, and the different sounds he’s making’
‘It hadn’t occurred to me to listen to him and give him space to talk’
‘We give our children more time to concentrate on listening to things around them’
‘In the past I would not so much talk or read to my daughter because I thought she was too young to understand, but after seeing her response to everything at Peep it has improved my help towards her talking and listening.'
