From a London studio to families worldwide - creating gentle, magical learning experiences that turn screen time into First Words
Learn to Talk has been created by Oxbridge Baby, a British production company trusted by families worldwide since 2005. We’ve always believed that learning should feel like play – not a lesson.
A Simple Vision That Grew
What started as a simple vision to create gentle, engaging preschool videos has grown into something much bigger. The Oxbridge Baby YouTube channel has over two million followers and one billion video views worldwide. Our original Learn to Talk DVD, created in collaboration with Paediatric Speech & Language Therapist Gillian Hart, has helped countless children say their First Words.
But we kept hearing the same request from parents: “We need more. And we need it ad-free, in a safe environment our children can explore.”
Years in the Making
So, we spent years developing something special and the result is ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’, an exclusive 25-part collection that builds on everything that made the original DVD work so well. Available now exclusively in our app alongside hundreds of other preschool learning videos.
We listened. We learned. We created.
Because Every Child Deserves to Find Their Voice
We create content that works – not by being the loudest or flashiest, but by being thoughtfully designed based on what we’ve learned works over 15 years. No pressure. No chaos. Just gentle, magical experiences that draw children in and hold their attention.
Our Approach
Storytelling Meets Learning: We blend the art of storytelling with multi-sensory learning techniques. Every puppet show, every animation, every song has a purpose.
Repetition and Rhythm – Learning Through Repetition: Children learn through patterns, and we build these into our videos. Key words appear again and again in different contexts. Simple phrases repeat with gentle variation. Catchy songs stick in little minds. This isn’t mindless repetition – it’s carefully structured to help children recognise, remember, and eventually say these words themselves.
Multi-sensory – Every Sense Engaged: We create rich, multi-sensory experiences that help children connect words to their world. Bright visuals show what words mean. Clear voices demonstrate how they sound. Music and rhythm make them memorable. Movement and action bring them to life. When children experience words through multiple senses, learning happens naturally.
Pacing – Perfectly Paced for Little Ones: Our videos move at just the right speed – quick enough to hold attention, slow enough to process. We pause after key words, giving children time to absorb and even attempt sounds. No rushed dialogue or overwhelming stimulation. This thoughtful pacing is why children watch our videos repeatedly without losing interest.
Made for Real Families: We know you’re busy. We know screen time is a concern. That’s why our content is purposefully created to support learning through play, not just entertain. It’s screen time parents can feel good about.
Who We Make This For
For parents eagerly waiting to hear those First Words. For families whose children are developing typically but want quality learning content. For those with late talkers. For parents supporting children who need extra time and encouragement. For anyone who wants better than generic content.
We understand the excitement of early milestones. We understand the worry when words don’t come as expected. And we’ve created something that helps every family, wherever they are on their First Words journey.
The Journey Continues
From our first DVD in 2006 to our billion YouTube views to our revolutionary app – we’ve never stopped innovating in how we help children Learn to Talk.
But some things never change:
- Our commitment to quality over quantity
- Our belief that learning should feel like magic
- Our understanding that every child develops at their own pace
- Our promise to create content that truly makes a difference
Because those First Words are more than milestones. They’re the beginning of a lifetime of connection.
