The best all-rounder baby classes and toddler/preschooler classes in Melton Mowbray & South East Nottingham! Help your baby find their voice with our award winning TinyTalk baby signing classes! You will learn how to communicate with your baby before they can speak, using British Sign Language signs to help reduce frustration and give you an insight in your babies world. Class numbers are limited to create a relaxed and personal setting, perfect for you and your child.
You and your baby will learn BSL signs to use on a daily basis to enhance your bond and make parenting a little easier. There are plenty of activities in class to stimulate your baby's senses and develop a wide ride of skills, not just communication and language.
Deepen your toddlers/preschoolers understanding of a range of educational topics using BSL signs. Our children are kinaesthetic learners, when they do something physical alongside learning, it helps to embed the learning at a deeper level making it easier to retrieve! How amazing is that?! We cover a wide range of topics in our toddler and preschooler classes including understanding our emotions, shapes, counting and colours, opposites, weather and so much more! Classes are interactive to keep our little ones engaged and to ensure there’s always lots of fun alongside our learning. We also help to get them ready for nursery and school.
What you can expect from a TinyTalk class:
- A series of core signs taught each week for you to use in daily routines
- Weekly handouts to help you learn together at home
- Relaxed and fun class
- Nursery rhymes and action songs
- Instrument play
- Props to keep your child engaged
- Multi-sensory activities to promote and develop visual, motor and auditory development (as our focus is learning signs, there is no sensory overload)
- Literacy development during our reading and signing time
- Allocated social time with age-appropriate toys, and a hot cuppa and a biscuit (or two) for you!
Baby classes are suitable for children newborn-18mo, toddler/preschooler classes are suitable for 18mo-5yrs; siblings are more than welcome free of charge!
Classes run in 11-14 week blocks, (half terms bookable & payment plans available to split the cost). Each week has a different theme such as family, food and the outdoors. You can join at any time throughout the year; however, classes fill up quickly so book early to avoid disappointment! To enquire or book a place please contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you!

Meet Jessica Cripps
Hello and welcome! My name is Jess and I am your local TinyTalk Teacher teaching baby signing classes in Melton Mowbray & South East Nottingham :)
I am a mummy to my 2 year old little TinyTalker, Henry ! I first heard of TinyTalk when I was pregnant in lockdown during a visit to my midwife where I picked up a leaflet. I knew baby signing was definitely something I wanted to teach my baby and felt it would be amazing for him to learn to communicate with me and the people around him so he would feel more understood.
Henry was 5.5 months when we attended our first class due to lockdown and by 7 months had learnt his first sign! I was amazed. Henry is now almost 3 and his speech and understanding of language is fantastic. I truly believe this is because we began signing with him so early. Even to this day, signing still helps us and has made parenting just that little bit easier. Being able to understand and alleviate his frustration has been a game changer! I knew I wanted to become a TinyTalk teacher the moment Henry started signing back to me. I wanted to be able to bring these classes to a new area and help other parents and grown ups learn this fantastic skill. I believe my little boys speech development is so good for his age because of TinyTalk baby signing classes.
I feel very passionate about teaching all babies and children this amazing skill and by doing so, aiding their development.
