I've always been fascinated in the art of communication in all its beautiful forms and after a very enjoyable 8 week introductory course in British Sign Language (BSL) a few years ago, I decided to take it further and completed my BSL 1.

I really believed in sign language for babies. It made logical sense to me, research proved it and my first hand experience at seeing a friend's baby use it successfully before being able to talk was the ultimate proof for me. Add that with a fun activity to take part in with my little one, using my existing BSL skills and getting the rest of the family involved, I decided to sign up to the TinyTalk classes. We loved it and the real turning point was when Jack went from just understanding the signs, to actually using them himself from when he was around 10 months. He's built up quite a repertoire now (using around 80 signs), and more are added to the list each week. It's really helping with his speech development too.

Fate, opportunity, good timing? Call it what you will but when I got the chance to take on the Nottingham Central TinyTalk classes, I decided to pack up my existing job and go for it. I am dedicated to sharing my passion and learning with other families and that's why I believe you'll enjoy these classes.

Bookings are now being taken for the Spring term of TinyTalk starting w/c 9 January 2012. Places are limited so pre book now to secure your place (and save you money). You and baby will learn new skills, have a fun time together, make new friends and as if that wasn't enough...get to have a hot drink (rather than lukewarm...I remember those days of half cups of cold tea around the house!) and chocolate biscuit.

URGENT NOTICE: The 10am Monday class and 11:45am Tuesday class are nearly full. If you want to join me this term, please get in touch ASAP
