Workshops
Sign and Bond workshops vary in each area. We typically give 45 minutes workshop to a group of a minimum of 5 mums and babies at a hired venue or a private home at own discretion.
We also deliver workshops at the nurseries and they can choose the workshops they would like to do. Full listing of workshops can be found at this page.

Comment from the trainer ‘The first class at the nursery was held on one cold and snowy February morning. Mothers and child minders had braved the winter elements along with their babies to attend baby sign classes. They were intrigued by the thought of communicating with their baby before it could talk. After introductions the class discussed the benefits of baby sign and exchanged feelings of potential outcomes. They then learned some vocabulary. The youngsters had started to crave attention when the signed nursery rhymes began. They fell silent and sat transfixed as the adults signed and sang Humpty Dumpty and Row row row your boat. At the end of the session the group left with a positive feeling of rewards they would soon reap. In subsequent classes more nursery rhymes were signed and sung, vocabulary was learnt and games such as bingo and 'I went to the moon and took....' were played. Each week I was impressed with the amount the group had retained and the continued enthusiasm they showed. A fantastic group to work with. Feedback from the group has been 100% positive.’
