All our classes are fabulous, fun sessions where you get to spend quality time with your child, supporting their development and having fun, using lots of songs and rhymes, puppets and other props, books and instruments. Our Baby Signing classes help to teach pre-verbal communication skills through the use of BSL (British Sign Language), teaching parents/carers and babies signs to help them to communicate with each other, to help understand their needs, thoughts and feelings. Babies can attend from birth to around 2 years old.
Our Toddlers Talking classes are developed by the team behind our award winning Baby Signing classes, and focus on children who are usually starting to walk and talk, with a more physical, interactive experience, and we usually say they suit children from around 18 months to pre-school age.
In each class, we explore new themes each week (like the basics, snack time, pets, clothes, colours, counting, feelings and emotions, opposites, transport, etc), and we encourage and support children's speech and language understanding and expression through songs, signs, books and musical instruments. There are also a wide range of exciting language development activities, quality books, sensory activities and Lycra/parachute games! Through these fun activities and games babies and children are also developing vital pre-school communication and behavioural 'etiquette' such as teamwork, turn taking, sharing and active listening.
I still use plenty of signs to support the younger children and for those for whom they are still an important means of communication, and as a teaching tool for those who have developing speech, and am looking to encourage their spoken word and confidence too in parallel.
Then social time and refreshments then follows, allowing babies and toddlers and parents/carers to play and build friendships. Both you and your child then get to enjoy social time, playing and making friends - as well as a drink and biscuit! Pre-book only.
