TINYTALK

Babies can understand so much before they can talk, and you can help your baby express themselves with TinyTalk Baby Signing classes! At a TinyTalk Baby Signing class, you will: Discover around 6 relevant BSL signs each week, with baby-friendly class themes such as family, meal times or a trip to the farm Sign, bounce and giggle along with action songs, stories and familiar nursery rhymes Experience bright and beautiful sensory toys to develop listening, visual tracking and language skills Play instruments to develop co-ordination and motor skills Develop sharing, turn-taking and other social skills Enjoy social time where both of you can make friends and the grown ups can have a nice hot cuppa, all in a friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment where you can relax and spend quality time together. All class sizes are limited. Suitable for babies up to 2 years. But won’t it delay my baby’s speech? No – quite the opposite! Babies are encouraged to say the word as they sign, developing their vocabulary and communication skills. You'll find yourself repeating key words more frequently than you might otherwise have done and the signing means that you will be more likely to be speaking to them when baby is fully focused on you.

The is a large car park at the front of the leisure centre. The leisure centre itself is a short walk from the car park. When entering the centre, the Turton room is the first room on the left. You will find us in here. Please leave any buggies outside the room, unless your little one is sleeping. If you can detach the carrier that would be great!

Anything goes at a Tiny Talk Class! We're all parents and all in the same boat. If you need to feed, change, sooth, leave, walk around etc etc all is fine.
