Hydestile, Surrey — Chattertots, a trusted name in speech and language therapy for children, is proud to announce the launch of its expanded program designed to help young children find their voice.

Run by Louise Hibbert, a fully qualified Speech and Language Therapist, Chattertots has spent years supporting children aged 2 to 11 across West Surrey and North Hampshire, including Godalming, Farnham, Guildford, Haslemere, and surrounding areas. This new program builds on that experience, offering families a clearer path when their child struggles to talk, listen, or be understood.

Every parent knows the worry. Your child is falling behind other kids their age. They point instead of speak. Words come out jumbled. Family gatherings turn stressful because grandparents can't understand what your toddler is trying to say. It's a quiet kind of heartbreak, watching your child want to communicate and not have the words for it.

That is exactly the gap Chattertots wants to close. The new program brings together speech therapists for toddlers and older children under one roof, combining hands-on assessment with warm, judgment-free support for the whole family.

At the heart of the program is a thorough speech delay assessment for toddlers. Louise and her team use toys, pictures, and play-based activities to understand exactly where a child is struggling, whether that is limited vocabulary, unclear pronunciation, or trouble following instructions. Parents often worry their child will freeze up or refuse to talk during an assessment. In practice, most children warm up quickly once they feel safe and comfortable.

"Every child develops at their own pace, but when a child is clearly behind their milestones, early support makes all the difference," said Louise Hibbert. "We want parents to know they are not alone, and that help is close by."

The program also continues to offer teletherapy, a flexible option for families facing travel time, childcare challenges, or distance. Sessions are carried out much the same way as in-person visits, and many children actually engage more easily on screen than expected.

Parents who have worked with Chattertots describe real, visible change. One mother shared how her son's vocalisations improved within months. Another said weekly sessions became something her whole family looked forward to.

With this new program, Chattertots hopes to reach even more families who are searching for real answers and real support, not just a diagnosis, but a plan.
