Signing Babies, Signing Toddlers & Signing Talkers
Classes in Hitchin and Letchworth, Hertfordshire

Up until I had Summer, I worked in London as a Support Worker for the Deaf and gave up work in London as it was no longer financially viable – a classic scenario many parents face! This is when I come to realise that I could really do something with my sign language abilities and so I began running my classes in Hitchin and Letchworth. I had the joy of having Summer with me at my own classes! She was my little side-kick, enjoying and signing to the songs. They are both still signing now, especially when it comes to spellings from school!

I have been running baby and children's signing classes in Hitchin and Letchworth for 7 years along with running workshops and birthday parties too. I have loved every minute of it. I feel very privileged to give the gift of communication to families. This is why I started The Signing Company

British Sign Language (BSL) is a strong element in our lives, having used it all my life with my twin sister. I am NVQ level 4 (now level 6) in BSL trained.

I am a mum of two lovely boys - Charlie, 6 years and Jasper, 8 months. I began signing with Charlie when he was 5 months old and attended many courses of Signing Babies and Signing Talkers with him. I would look forward to each week’s session and we absolutely loved every minute; learning new signs and having great fun with signing, singing, music, stories and much more. I believe that signing certainly helped Charlie with his communication and his speech developed very well at a young age. He has always been able to explain and express himself well. I now attend classes with Jasper and I am really enjoying being back. This time round, it is wonderful for not only us as parents to be able to communicate with our baby boy but also to see his older brother relishing in the fact that he can sign to his younger sibling and talk to him in this way. We have all already enjoyed our first Golden Moment with Jasper when he signed ‘Daddy’ for the first time when sitting in his high chair one day! What an amazing feeling!

I really look forward to being able to combine my teaching skills with my love of baby signing in such a positive and fun way and share this wonderful skill of communication with everyone who attends my classes.

I came across The Signing Company whilst I was pregnant and started Becky's classes once my little one was 5 months old. Now 2 years later we both still use sign to communicate with each other alongside speech and particularly enjoy the musical, social and sensory aspects of the classes and sing-signing along to the songs at home. Signing definitely helped with our early communication; it also naturally removed the frustration young children have when they struggle to express their needs or wants. I think signing with children and babies, and their parents, is a great step towards both bridging the gap between understanding and speech as a child grows and in widening the use of British Sign Language (BSL) so that more people are aware of and can use at least some basic BSL with people living within their community.

The opportunity to work with The Signing Company came at the same time I was starting to look for some part time work locally that was more compatible with raising a young child. Here was a chance to combine my teaching skills with the signing classes I love and to share this with others, what more could I ask for?! I am pleased to be building on the vocabulary from my existing BSL Level 1 qualification and I am excited to share BSL locally; helping families to learn and enjoy using this communication skill, both infants and adults alike.
