Sing and Sign: Bournemouth & New Forest - Bournemouth

abby L. R.

This is our third time joining sing and sign with Sarah and I couldn't recommend it enough! All classes are so enjoyable, fun, and so beneficial. My little one is already doing some signs. We love the songs and the instruments/toys to make it more interactive and entertaining. Love the way I am learning alongside my little one and discovering a whole new way to communicate. Sarah is always very welcoming and is always there at the end of the class for any questions. Perfect way to bond with your little one!

We have absolutely loved Sing and Sign. My little granddaughter has gained so much confidence in communication and it's amazing to see how quickly she has picked up new signs. The sessions are interactive and full of fun songs that make learning feel like play.

Sarah is fantastic - warm, patient and engaging with the children making every class enjoyable for both toddlers and parents. The mix of music, signing and sensory activities keeps little ones engaged while reinforcing key language skills.

I highly recommend these classes to any parent looking to support their child’s early communication in a fun and nurturing environment.

My baby and I absolutely love sing and sign! It's our favourite group! We've been doing it since she was 6 weeks old and she responds so well to the songs when we're at home. Sarah is lovely and the groups are really enjoyable, relaxing and gentle! Id 100% recommend to anyone thinking of giving it a go! 🙂

I have been taking my son to the sing and sign classes since he was 9 months old (he is now nearly a year). We both really enjoy the class and my son LOVES Jessie cat and Sarah. I can't believe how many signs I can remember. I really think it has helped me use my brain a bit more during maternity leave, which has been lovely. We have signed up for the next term ready to learn some more! My son has already learnt a few of the signs - milk, food and nappy change, which have helped me understand what he wants. Thank you Sarah for the lovely classes!

Sing and Sign has been an incredible experience for both my baby and me. Sarah, the instructor, is simply wonderful—her engaging and fun approach makes each class enjoyable. She not only teaches us the signs but also shows us how to easily incorporate them into our daily routines, which helps them become a natural part of our interactions. This consistency has made a huge difference in how we communicate.

Sarah’s calm and friendly nature creates such a welcoming environment for both mums and babies, and it’s clear my little boy adores her. His confidence has grown so much, and he’s always so happy to attend each class.

As a parent, the signs have truly transformed how I communicate with my baby. Not only is it a joy to see him start to understand and use the signs, but he is also much more engaged during key routines, such as mealtime, nappy changes, and bedtime. He now understands more when I sign key words, and it’s amazing to see him anticipate what’s coming next—whether it's "milk," "sleep," or "more." This early communication has reduced frustration for both of us and strengthened our bond. I highly recommend Sing and Sign—it’s a fantastic way to bond with your baby while learning valuable communication tools that help with everyday interactions!

My daughter absolutely loves Sing and Sign classes (and Sarah), they are the highlight of her week. She smiles so much every time she sees Jessie Cat we had to get our own to have at home. It’s been great for her to interact with other little ones and great for me to meet other mum friends. She’s even started the odd sign herself now (milk being a firm favourite)
I cannot recommend Sarah’s classes enough and I’ll be so sad when I have to go back to work and won’t be able to go any more

My son and I have had a lovely time at Sing and Sign. Sarah is ever so friendly and makes us feel very welcome. We have learnt quite a few signs in the baby class and we enjoy singing the songs at home as well (although my voice is nowhere near as good as Sarah's). I am sure that we will enjoy future classes just as much as we have enjoyed the ones we have been to so far and I look forward to the day where my little boy can start signing back to me.

Me and my little one have been attending sing and sign since September when he was about 4/5 months old (it’s all a bit of haze looking back!) and I’m so glad we did. Since attending I’ve noticed my son really engage with what I’m saying as well as the signs and is slowly starting to demonstrate or acknowledge particular signs when he wants or needs something, which has helped to strengthen our bond with one another. It has now become a family habit to sign with my son, to encourage him to communicate with other family members.

Sarah keeps the energy of the sessions very calming for the parents (or at least that’s why I have felt!) yet a great and engaging sensory stimulus for the babies without being overwhelming for them, which is hard to balance!

Each week follows a particular theme which builds upon the week before for you to grow your confidence in signing. I always come out each session ready to try a new set of signs to add into my everyday chatter with my little boy and songs to keep him entertained (even if I don’t sing it as lovely or in tune as Sarah!)

The people that work/volunteer at the community hub are always warm and welcoming, particularly in the little cafe and will happily coo over the babies whilst bringing you a well needed tea or coffee.
