Sing and Sign baby signing classes in... Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Epping Forest

• About Me

  Welcome to Sing and Sign Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Epping Forest South.

  
  
  

  Hi, my name is Rachel and I'm very excited to be bringing Sing and Sign baby classes to East and North East London. With classes running in Plaistow, Forest Gate, East Village, Walthamstow, South Woodford, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Highams Park and Wanstead. 

  These fun filled baby classes and toddler classes are full of music, fun and are an amazing place to learn a new skill. Baby signing helps with communication development and is wonderful for bonding and reducing frustration. 

  Booking now open for our Summer Term 2025! 

  I'm on holiday from 31 March to the 4 April and won't be checking my emails over those 5 days. I'll reply as soon as I'm back.

  

  
  

  About Rachel
  

  Hi I'm Rachel and I discovered the joys and huge benefits of Sing and Sign with my eldest daughter, Clara. We attended classes from Babes through to Stage 2 (Stage 2 was carried out through the @Home programme in lockdown). 

  Clara loved all the songs and signs and still has a great passion for Jessie Cat. When Clara was around 12-13 months she really started signing back to us and you could see the great benefit of the classes. Her signs exploded following the classes and @Home programme and her language followed shortly behind. Being able to have little conversations with her was so fantastic and was a huge help to understand her thoughts and emotions. We still sing so many of the songs every day. My second daughter, Marcella is 4 now and I have seen the huge benefits of using baby sign with her. Her language and communication is excellent and she still loves to sing. 

  I'm so excited to bring Sing and Sign to my local area and now even further afield. If you'd like to find out more about Sing and Sign classes please do not hesitate to get in touch here.

  Which stage is right for my baby

  We have 3 different "stages" of Sing and Sign which have been developed specifically for your baby's developmental stages.
  

  
  Sing and Sign Babes courses are for babies up to around 6-months old, together with their parent / carer. This gentle course explores themes such as eye contact, gesture and anticipation, together with lots of cuddles, tickles and some simple signs.  Everything we do builds the framework for good communication and is brought to you using our magic ingredient - music! Sing and Sign Stage 1 is ideal for babies from around 6 to 14 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's no problem coming straight to Stage 1 without doing Babes first (in fact, most people start Sing and Sign at Stage 1). 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. Sing and Sign Stage 2 is great when your little one is around 14+ months, moving about and probably starting to talk (although every baby is different, so there's no hard and fast rule!) as it is more active and interactive. Themes include weather, opposites, colours and the phonetic alphabet, together with simple counting songs, turn taking, sharing and of course, lots of fun! Some people don't hear about Sing and Sign until their little ones are 14+ months old and then wonder if it too late to start. Not at all! It may be more appropriate to come straight to a Stage 2 class but if you ring / e-mail me we can have a chat about your individual circumstances.

  If you have any questions please do get in touch,
