Your Preschool Learning Partner Since 2005!

‘Learn to Talk’ has been created by ‘Oxbridge Baby’ who have been helping transform how children discover the world around them since 2005. Founded in London, England, we blend the art of storytelling with speech development techniques to produce media experiences that makes learning feel like play.

Preschool Learning

We craft each element of our content with purpose, nurturing young minds while keeping smiles wide. What started as a simple vision, to create fun preschool videos with a gentle learning element, has grown into a trusted companion for families worldwide, helping children say their First Words through exciting and magical adventures!

Our first video ‘My First DVD’, was released in 2006 and this, together with our subsequent titles, were released on DVDs & CDs that found their way into homes around the world. As digital technologies evolved, we embraced new ways to reach our audience, establishing a thriving presence on YouTube while continuing to create engaging, gentle learning based content that families have come to know and trust.

The Oxbridge Baby YouTube Channel

While the Oxbridge Baby YouTube Channel currently has over Two Million Followers and One Billion Video Views (yes one billion and counting!), we listened when parents asked for more videos like our ‘Learn to Talk DVD’, to help little ones say their First Words and in an ad-free and completely safe environment.

It has taken years of dedicated development and production but we have now created ‘Learn to Talk – The Series’, a unique and exclusive 25-part series together with the ‘Learn to Talk’ App – where children can enjoy our complete collection of preschool learning videos, all designed to help little ones say their First Words, in a completely safe environment and without interruption.

In today’s digital world, technology has become an integral part of our children’s lives, bringing both opportunities and challenges for speech development. As parents, we often find ourselves wondering how to balance the potential benefits of educational technology with the irreplaceable value of face-to-face interaction.

Making Mindful Choices

The good news is that when used thoughtfully and intentionally, technology can become a valuable tool in supporting your child’s communication journey. Just as we carefully choose our words and activities to support speech development, we can make mindful choices about how technology fits into our children’s learning experience.

Let’s explore how to harness the benefits of technology while maintaining the primacy of personal interaction in language development, indeed a balancing act!

Think of technology as one ingredient in your child’s language-learning recipe – it can enhance the overall experience, but it shouldn’t be the main course. When used wisely, educational apps and preschool learning videos can reinforce the concepts we practice in daily life, provide additional exposure to language patterns, and create new opportunities for communication. The key lies in finding the right balance and choosing quality content that truly supports your child’s development.

The real power of educational technology lies in how we use it with our children. Co-viewing and interaction transform passive screen time into active learning experiences that support language development and strengthen bonds between caregiver and child. Think of yourself as a guide on a digital adventure, helping your child discover new words, concepts, and ideas through shared exploration.

Just as we make everyday moments into learning opportunities, we can transform technology use into rich, interactive experiences that support early speech development. By actively participating in your child’s digital activities, you create bridges between the virtual and real world, making learning more meaningful and lasting.

• Sit together with your child
• Discuss what you’re seeing
• Ask questions about the content
• Make real-world connections
• Expand on the concepts presented
• Relate activities to daily life
• Encourage verbal responses
• Celebrate learning moments

The world of educational technology can feel overwhelming, with countless apps and videos promising to support Speech and Language Development. Think of yourself as a curator, carefully selecting quality experiences that will genuinely benefit your child’s language journey. The best choices aren’t always the flashiest or most complex – often, simple, well-designed videos or apps that encourage real interaction and communication provide the most value.

Look for Apps or Preschool Videos That:

• Encourage active participation
• Provide clear language models
• Offer opportunities for response
• Include parent participation features
• Support natural learning progression
• Build on existing knowledge
• Create engagement opportunities

Be Mindful of:

• Age-appropriate content
• Questionable educational value
• Quality of language used
• Opportunities for engagement
• Potential for real-world connection
• Parent involvement options

Technology can be a wonderful supplement to your child’s speech development journey when used thoughtfully and in moderation. The key is to view it as one tool in your communication toolkit, not as a replacement for the precious face-to-face interactions that form the foundation of language development.

Quality First

By choosing quality content, engaging actively with your child during technology use, and making connections to real-world experiences, you can harness the benefits of digital tools while maintaining the primacy of personal interaction in your child’s Speech Development journey.

Those precious First Words mark a remarkable milestone in your child’s development.
