Give your child a head start in language development

Nursery and Childminding Affiliation programme

Increasingly I have found that I am being approached by parents who are interested in finding childcare that offers baby signing as part of its curriculum. Singalong Baby Sign are now offering baby signing workshops to nurseries and Childminders in Kent..

Our signs are largely compatible with Makaton and similar sign supporting systems based on the signs of BSL.  Incorporating the Singalong Baby Sign approach will also be of great benefit to any members of your staff currently using signs with children in your care who have special needs.

To become a Singalong Baby Sign Affiliated Nursery or Childminder costs as little as £40 and includes a wide range of ongoing joint benefits, including offering the best way to introduce signing, inspiring staff, advertising your services on the Singalong Baby Sign website and giving parents confidence in your approach.

Dimples Day Nursery Visit

I was recently invited to give a taster session at Dimples Day Nursery and had a lovely time meeting the babies and delightful staff. Dimples is set in a lovely location surrounded at the rear by a beautiful field full of cows - how perfect!  The members of staff got straight into singing and signing the songs with me – as did the toddlers!  Polly dog the puppet was particularly popular as always!

Dimples have recently implemented some initial signs with their babies and children and as I said goodbye I was actually thanked by all of the toddlers in sign language – which was really lovely to see.

Before I left I asked the staff to complete a feed back form.  They gave me some lovely compliments and some ideas about how I could change the taster session for future nursery visits - for which I thank them.

Thank you very much Dimples – I  look forward to seeing you again soon.
