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.

It’s back by popular demand!
Jasmine and Sophie are excited to bring you a very special Autumn Equinox Acupuncture & Soundbath session - tomorrow evening at Moon Women's Health, 63 Chetwynd Road, NW5.
This is a full mind-body reset. Specific acupuncture points gently stimulate the body’s calming hormones and restore inner balance, while Jasmine’s extraordinary sound bath works at a cellular level — waves of vibration dissolving stress and bringing the body back into harmony.
Together, it’s a rare kind of deep healing that modern life doesn’t usually allow.
We’re holding this gathering at the time of the Autumn Equinox, between a lunar eclipse, earlier this month, and a solar eclipse on 21st September. This is a time that supports clarity and fine-tuning, a powerful moment to reset routines, lighten the load, and realign with what truly supports you.
Fresh from her magical Italian wedding, Jasmine returns with a heart full of joy and new energy to share. Sophie has spent much of the summer by the sea and walking with friends, bringing grounded calm and collective love into the circle. Together, they’re ready to guide you into the new season with focus and a bit of magic.
Spaces are limited, and this time the session is open to both men and women — so feel free bring a partner or a friend who could use some deep restoration.

A wonderful new art piece, Hidden Connections, from the talented @jencableart
Just like our community at Moon, trees are communal beings. We all know that strong communities help us to navigate life's challenges and disasters. Being part of a community that shares resources, creates the kind of place we all want to live. The trees on Hampstead heath and in Highgate Woods are just the same. Rather than fighting each other for light and water, they join together with tiny fungal filaments to carry messages and transmit sugar from one tree to another to help each other survive. In turn supporting over 600 bird species and thousands of insect species.
Hidden Connections is a celebration of the times when we come together to help those in need; bringing food, medicine or companionship to those that are isolated wherever they are in the world.
Come and see it for yourself.
