Baby Sing and Sign
Sing and Sign... what is it?
Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts and launched in January 2001, the “Sing and Sign” programme has since taught many tens of thousands of parents across the UK how to sign with their babies and encourage amazing early communication.
What to expect in class
The class is approximately 40-45 minutes long and is more of a structured class. We introduce new signs each week, but revisit them throughout the term, so there is plenty of opportunity to recap.
Stage 1 is for babies 5 months - 15 months. We start with the basic signs “milk,” “more” etc… to incorporate in to daily routines. We look at animals, bath time, nappy change, bed time signs and much more. We also introduce Jessie cat, the Sing and Sign mascot! We play peek-a-boo with Jessie cat as well as with scarves, which is not only great fun but encourages babies to learn object permanence.
Stage 2 is for babies 15 months to 2 years old. By this time most babies will have replayed stage 1 twice and will be familiar with signs. They may even be starting to communicate verbally as well as signing, the stage 2 course reflects this. As well as the similar structure to stage 1 classes, we introduce more signs to further their understanding of unfamiliar words. Their receptive vocabulary will continue to develop and this can be enhanced by some signing of newer concepts such as: the weather, colours, different foods to choose from, opposites, choosing, using a potty etc.
In addition to the face-to-face classes, you will also have an online membership to the Jessie cat club. This is a great tool to support learning. There is a sign dictionary, @home content, with online classes and many more videos and songs. The online classes are uploaded each week in conjunction with the face-to-face classes. So you can recap or catch up if any classes are missed.
Class timetable
Stage 1: Thursdays at 1.45pm - Autumn term start date 18/09/25
Stage 2: Mondays at 9.45am - Autumn term start date 15/09/25

Join us this Saturday, on World Menopause Day, to experience a unique gathering blending a Cacao Ceremony, Restorative Yoga, and Sound Bowl Immersion.
Wherever you are on your menopause journey, we invite you to join us in a restorative session to celebrate the feminine.
Caroline and Ali will be weaving their shared experiences to create a unique gathering that blends a Cacao Ceremony, Restorative Yoga, and Sound Bowl Immersion.
Together, we’ll rest, restore, and open our hearts.
Is this new to you? Here’s what you can expect:
✨ Cacao Ceremony
For centuries, cacao ceremonies have been practiced as heart-opening rituals. The gentle medicine of cacao supports emotional balance and self-love. We’ll set intentions to guide you forward and give you support to carry them into the world.
✨ Restorative Yoga
Ali’s gentle, floor-based practice that uses props to hold and support the body. By slowing down and resting deeply in each posture, you’ll soften tension, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your body in a tender, loving way.
✨ Sound Bowl Healing
Caroline’s sound bowls will guide you into a deeply immersive state, where vibration and sound invite the body to release, rebalance, and restore harmony.
Come as you are, leave with a lighter heart.
