  • "We had our 2 year old son assessed with Sophie and Lucy. It was really good to gain an insight from the assessment and being able to talk to both of them to understand what we can put in place to help him each day gave us confidence and encouragement. We both learnt a lot and were able to ask lots of questions which was really beneficial. Really pleased with the appointment + Sophie and Lucy were really friendly, our son was very relaxed and happy during the appointment."

  • "We found out about Talking Labs online, and after reading some amazing reviews decided to book an assessment with Lucy for our 2.5 year old. She was absolutely brilliant, the way she interacted with our child to assess their speech and understanding was fantastic. Lucy provided us with the necessary information and tools to help our child’s progression, during the assessment, so we could start right away whilst waiting for the formal report. Would highly recommend, and should we need to know we can contact any time to further discuss our child’s speech and language development."

    ★★★★★ - Matt, parent

  • "We had 1 session with Lucy, we came away with so much knowledge and insight which will greatly help us with our daughter who has some delays but also when communicating with our baby who doesnt have any delays. We found it invaluable, in a lovely calm setting, Lucy was great with us and our daughter (who's is usually wary at medical appointments/ of unfamiliar people) really enjoyed our session and spoke about it all the way home. We have already started to notice a difference in both our skills and our daughters. We totally recommend using Talking Lab."

  • "Lucy was so helpful, by the time she left I felt like a weight had been lifted. Lucy was able to ease the concerns I had about my sons speech and also give me lots of helpful techniques to help further develop his speech and also his play, which are working already. My son is on the path to being diagnosed with autism but he was very happy and relaxed in Lucy’s company. I would 100% recommend!"

  • "Our initial assessment with Lucy was helpful; it was a great environment and my 2 year old son was immediately at ease. Lucy was lovely and welcoming and it was an informative session. Lucy explained things clearly and I went away feeling motivated and confident in implementing the techniques that I was given to support my son with his speech development."

    ★★★★★ - Jess, parent

  • "Lucy was incredibly welcoming to both myself and my son. She made us both feel at ease and went through things with me whilst my son explored her room. She interacted with my son and showed me a few things I could start straight away. Lucy also discussed with me the issues and ways to help my son start to communicate. I would highly recommend Lucy to any one who may need her services."

    ★★★★★ - Louisa, parent

  • "Lucy assessed my daughter who is 3yrs old and has moderate deafness. I was looking for a view on her speech development and what potential support she needed to help her language. Lucy provided a very thorough report, based on her careful, and engaging tests which my daughter found really fun to do! I felt all my questions were answered; great suggestions for techniques to support my daughter were provided and I came away from the session feeling very reassured."

    ★★★★★ - Rebecca, parent

  • "We contacted Lucy as our three year old son has a speech delay. Lucy was friendly, professional and understanding to our needs and was excellent with our son. Lucy has really helped us change our way of communicating with our son to help him grow his language and express himself, we have noticed a huge improvement in just a short few days after meeting with Lucy. I can’t recommend Lucy enough and we are really grateful for the service received."

    ★★★★★ - Mikaela, parent

  • "We found Lucy very helpful, professional and friendly right from the word go. She conducted an initial telephone consultation before inviting us to her studio where she conducted an in-depth analysis of our son’s speech. We were made to feel welcome and there was no pressure. She has then offered practical solutions for us to be able to help improve his speech and increase his confidence. Would highly recommend."

She gave us an in-depth and detailed assessment, along with some great techniques to use. She gave us the much needed reassurance we were looking for! Absolutely brilliant, couldn’t recommend enough!"

    ★★★★★ - Caitlin, parent

  • "Lucy was great and very supportive. She was very friendly so it helped my son instantly be at ease. Though my son was tired after school and not really wanting to engage , her assessment was very interactive so he didn't realise he was being assessed for an hour. Getting her feedback was very re-assuring and helped me stop worrying unnecessarily. We will defiantly follow her recommendations. Thank you"

    ★★★★★ - Jean, parent

  • "We cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. She was utterly professional and hugely reassuring. She carefully assessed our child's development and gave us helpful advice and strategies on how we could give our child the best possible support with their communication. We received the written assessment quickly, alongside links to online material and recommendations for apps and classes to help with signing. We are immensely grateful for her help."

    ★★★★★ - Oliver, parent

  • "Lucy was very approachable and friendly and connected with our daughter straight away, even having a dance with her at the end of the session! To see our daughter take part and succeed in many of the tasks Lucy set out, was a very proud moment for us, as we don't get to see her do anything like that at her nursery. Lucy was very knowledgable and has given us confidence and techniques to give our daughter the support she needs to develop her speech further."

    ★★★★★ - Andy, parent

  • "Extremely professional service from start to finish. Lucy asked for information before our son’s assessment and came fully prepared. She made our son (and me!) feel totally comfortable in her company, which made the assessment go smoothly. After the assessment, she went through her thoughts in detail and gave us tips to help progress our son’s speech. This was followed up with a full report, which contained explanations, examples and guidance, not just results. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy to anyone with concerns about speech - she completely reassured us and made us confident in the the help we need to provide our son."

    ★★★★★ - Sarah, parent

  • "Our initial speech assessment with Talking Lab was friendly, supportive and really practical. Our son (aged 4) was totally at ease with Lucy who had him happily chatting away about his world - immediately putting us at ease too. It was clear that Talking Lab look at the whole child and getting to know our son was key to supporting him with his speech. It was particularly useful to have top tips on how we as parents can support him modelled to us and then the opportunity to practise these alongside Lucy as part of the initial assessment. A great service that we would highly recommend. Thank you! (The Booths)"
