About Me
Welcome to Sing and Sign, North Herts!
Meet the Teacher!
Hi, I’m Lauren and I run Sing and Sign classes for North Hertfordshire.
I started Sing and Sign classes with my son when he was 6 months old and we both found it so rewarding. Signing helped our communication with our son and certainly minimised frustration. I will never forget the moment he first signed the word more because it was such a wonderful milestone and blew us away; and from there he was signing more and more new words every week which was just magical. The best thing was seeing the sense of accomplishment he felt, you could see how pleased he was with himself which was incredibly rewarding as a new parent. Some of the best memories with my son are related to signing so it holds a special place in my parenting journey.
Three years on from my very first class I'm so excited to be bringing Sing and Sign to other parents in North Hertfordshire.
For more information, you can contact me on laurenrodgers@singandsign.co.uk
I hope to see you in class soon,
Lauren and Jessie Cat xx

Sing and Sign Classes
Which Class Should I Attend?
Sing and Sign Babes is suitable for babies from birth (although we recommend from around 8 weeks), up to 6 months (at the start of term). Babes is a gentle music and sensory class with a strong emphasis on parent/child communication. We concentrate on the essentials such as eye contact, repetition and anticipation, and of course some signs, even at this very young age.
Sing and Sign Stage 1 is ideal for babies from 6 months old up to around 16 months old and their parent/carer. Themes include basic signs, nappies, bath time, emotions & bedtime. You'll learn over 100 signs related to your routines and also the sort of things your baby may be interested in, such as animals and vehicles.
It is quite a big step from Stage 1 to Stage 2, so many people come to Stage 1 for two terms before attending Stage 2. However, this is also dependent on your baby's age.
Stage 2 is ideal for babies who have attended Stage 1 before and are aged 14m+
How Long Do Classes Run For?
Sing and Sign Babes classes run for of 5-6 weeks, classes are around 30 mins long but we offer a relaxed start with 15 minutes of tea & coffee time before class.
Stage 1 and Stage 2 run for 10-weeks, classes run for approximately 40-45 minutes of signing fun.
What Happens in Class? Classes are very relaxed and good fun! We have small class sizes to allow for an intimate and relaxed setting. We use instruments, songs, music to engage your little one and demonstrate our core signs.
I Have Twins / Triplets - How Many Places Do I Pay For? Twins/Triplets are welcome, and you only pay for one place. I do have to limit the number of free places per class though, so get in touch and see if there are free places remaining.
What if I miss a class?
No problem! We offer catch up classes at our other Hitchin and Letchworth venues but please do get in touch first to make sure there is space. We also offer online resources including recorded lessons for stage 1 and 2 so you can catch up at home or continue the fun!

YES, please get in touch to find out when the next trial session is available. I usually run introductory / taster sessions at the start and end of term. Please do get in touch to find out when the next one is.
