We love hearing from parents on social media!
A Speech and Language advisor works closely with us to ensure words are chosen that encourage the audience to grasp the sounds needed for each stage of speech development. Scroll down to the read the positive feedback we’ve received from parents!
‘My 18 month old is obsessed with the show, and has learnt so many words from it. Love that real kids are shown trying to say the words and it's not all animated! Also 👏 for the diversity of colour and abilities in your episodes!’

‘Yakka Dee! has helped to empower my daughter’s confidence further in talking, learning and practicing new words in a fun and contextual manner. With her turning 2 today, I can't help but be grateful for the impact this programme has had on her, providing an on screen friend when the world remained inaccessible for long periods during the pandemic and generally educating her ever inquisitive mind. Thank you to all involved in the creation of Yakka Dee and here's to hoping for my new episodes to come! (and any merchandise in the pipeline)!’

‘Hey guys, can’t tell you how great this animation is! I have a just gone 2 year old and 6 month old they both love it, the 6 month old literally stops what he’s doing and laughs his head off at yakka! My 2 year old, is a little slower than others his age with talking he’s been improving leaps and bounds lately but he will actually repeat Yakka Dee faster than he would repeat me.’

‘My son is two and a half and has been a reluctant talker. He absolutely LOVES Yakka Dee, we have sky+’d the lot to have on hand whenever he demands. He has been using so many more words with confidence and clearer, and lots more adjectives!’

‘Yakka Dee was the only accessible resource we had for sound work on my son’s speech. He loved to watch and speak along and it made a huge difference to his pronunciation and his interaction with language in general. Parents without support can be left in a lonely and frustrating place when they can’t get the support they need for their children... being able to access a TV show that can help them makes a huge difference before they can get the support they need, and beyond.’
