  What classes are available? 
   
  

  ‘Babes’: For babies from approximately 2 months to around 6 months old. – A lovely gentle class for the youngest age group aiming to build the foundations for good communication. The class is relaxed, gives you lots of time face to face with your wee one, plenty of cuddle time and is the perfect place to begin your baby signing journey. Class lasts approximately 30 minutes. 

   

  ‘Stage 1’: For  babies from 6 months to around 16 months – Covering lots of different themes relating to your babies world, we use songs, rhymes, instruments, toys and props in a fun, relaxed class. Babies love the fun and the music while adults effortlessly learn all the signs they need for day-to-day life with their baby. Class lasts approximately 45 minutes. 

   

  ‘Stage 2’: For toddlers from around 14 months to 2.5 years (and beyond if you're joining us online)! – This class covers themes such as colours, phonics, manners, even using the potty! Designed with inquisitive and energetic toddlers in mind. Class lasts approximately 45 minutes. 

  
  

  With your permission, I will put together WhatsApp groups for each class so you can receive class information, we can catch up, ask questions and show proud signing moments.

  Online  - £50 for a 10-week course delivered via our popular @Home lessons. Fee includes Gold or Premium membership to our wider online learning resources.  Each week, your lesson can be streamed at a time to suit you and as often as you like within that week.

  'Babes': Venue-based classes - £35 for a 5-week course. Includes weekly lesson email and online supporting resources.

  We currently limit the number of families per class to around 10 depending on the room. This keeps classes small, friendly and relaxed but it does mean places are limited so book early!
