My name is Kate Smith and I am the Home Learning Environment Outreach Development Worker for Torbay and I have lots of advice around learning and development and how to use simple strategies in the home environment or when out and about to support your child.

I am also the Chat, Play, Read Coordinator and hold fun and interactive sessions in the library for parents to support their child’s development. Find out when our sessions are running here, just search for Chat, Play, Read.

Also, I am an Accredited Peep Practitioner which is a programme for parents and children to attend together to learn how play, routines and much more can help to support your child’s learning and development.
