Sing and Sign

Sing and Sign is the UK's longest-running baby signing programme, developed alongside speech and language professionals around one clear idea: when a baby can communicate before words arrive, the frustration on both sides drops noticeably. There are now over 900 weekly classes across the country, structured into three age-based levels — Babes for newborns up to five months, Stage 1 as the core curriculum for older babies, and Stage 2 for those fourteen months and up who have already worked through Stage 1.

When a local weekly group does not suit the schedule, the Class@Home option covers the same themed content on demand: families get access to a dictionary of more than 250 signs, interactive Jessie Cat games and music videos, all available around the clock. Stage 1 class attendees also receive a free online resource as part of their place.

Free taster sessions come up from time to time depending on the teacher, so it is worth contacting your nearest Sing and Sign teacher directly to check availability. Pricing is handled locally by each teacher rather than set centrally, so that first contact is also the right place to ask about costs and booking.
