The Signing has been dedicated to enhancing early childhood communication through British Sign Language since its inception. Our programs focus on teaching babies, toddlers, and young children essential communication skills using BSL signs, songs, and interactive activities. With classes available in Hertfordshire, South East Devon, and beyond, we offer Signing Babies, Signing Toddlers, and Signing Talkers programs tailored to different developmental stages. Our team of experienced instructors provides flexible class schedules, home workshops, and nursery partnerships to accommodate diverse family and educational needs. We collaborate with early years settings to improve communication environments through in-house sessions, staff shadowing, and comprehensive training workshops.The company also supports franchise opportunities for individuals seeking to share the benefits of signing while maintaining work-life balance. Our evidence-based approach demonstrates that signing enhances verbal communication rather than hindering it, as shown through our clients' progress and testimonials. We maintain strict child protection and safeguarding policies to ensure safe learning environments. Our online store provides educational resources including puppets, flashcards, and music to reinforce signing at home. Through continuous innovation, we've expanded to offer summer holiday online classes and customized packages for nurseries and professionals.

Starting at 5 months old, these interactive classes help develop early communication skills while strengthening parent-child bonds. The program combines songs, stories, and play-based activities to make learning signs fun and effective for both babies and caregivers.

These services help educators implement signing effectively to support children's language development and create inclusive learning spaces.

Tailored home workshops bring our signing expertise directly to families and caregivers. Available as one-on-one sessions or small group lessons, these workshops teach essential signs for daily communication. The flexible scheduling accommodates individual needs while providing personalized instruction in the comfort of home environments or preferred venues.
