About The Talk Shop
Holistic Academic and Therapy Approach
At The Talk Shop, we believe in offering your child a single solution to their academic and therapy needs, and therefore offer both a nursery school programme and therapy at the school. This enables the multi-disciplinary team dealing with your child to be involved in all areas of his/her development thereby ensuring a more holistic approach.
It also saves you the hassle of driving to different therapists in the afternoons, and makes your child feel more settled. All parents are encouraged to participate in the various therapies and activities that form part of your child’s overall programme.
Admission Criteria
Inclusive Support for High-Needs Children
Children are admitted into the full-time programme at 3 years of age. We follow a mainstream curriculum but the programme may be modified in terms of pace and possibly content dependent on the children/class.

Case-by-Case Admissions

Extra Support from Teachers

Each class has a teacher and a classroom assistant. This high adult-to-child ratio ensures that each child is able to cope with the work presented, some with higher levels of support than others.
