nlike many commercial swim schools, School of Splash is owned by Chesterfield Swimming Club who are a not for profit competitive swimming club.

School of Splash delivers a high quality learn to swim programme in line with national standards. Being owned by a swimming club means that once your child can swim they can then progress onto competitive swimming with the same coaches. Laini Cooper aged 10 learned to swim with School of Splash aged 4 and now regularly swims competitively with the Club at a regional level.

Laini’s mum comments: ‘It’s great that having learnt to swim and discovering a talent, Laini could continue with the same coaches and not have to move elsewhere to an unfamiliar Club’. For further information on all aspects of our swimming programme please visit www. chesterfieldsc.co.uk.

F

they’re understood, which helps to build a very special bond with you, and promotes vital early communication skills.

Our special mix of songs and rhymes, puppets, sensory shapes, bubbles, parachutes, mirrors, books, instruments and social playtime over a drink and biscuit stimulates your child’s development. It’s wonderful for you to spend quality time engaging with your little one and making friends too!

Our toddler classes still use sign language but focus more on speech and are a great way to give your child a strong foundation in communication and language. These classes also develop their confidence and other essential skills such as teamwork and listening, along with being lots of fun!

Parents have discovered that using sign language allows your baby to express their needs and thoughts long before they can talk, cutting out the guesswork for you! Babies are thrilled when

Join us for your FREE trial class and give your child a head start in life! Contact Catherine Bertenshaw on 07515 455858, or email catherineb@tinytalk. co.uk Find us on Facebook and Twitter too!
