Welcome to Baby Signing Training

Who are we and what do we do?

We are a dedicated baby sign language company, who are committed to promoting the benefits of baby signing in order to ensure that all children have the opportunity for development at this very important early age.

All of our staff have extensive experience of baby signing in both a personal and professional capacity; they are always happy to both answer questions and offer advice, not only about our products but also about baby signing in general.

Our programme has been designed by a Cambridge University graduate in Education Studies, who has been signing for over 10 years and who herself currently runs baby signing sessions. Sessions have a strong focus on fun. All contain music, actions and signs. Although our courses contain around 150 of the most useful signs for babies, these are introduced gradually and alongside music and props.

All of our resources are produced using carefully selected British Sign Language Signs, as we are keen to ensure that our sessions are accessible to those with a hearing impairment. However, in reality because where there are a number of different BSL signs to choose from we have always chosen the simplest, there is very little variation between the signs used in our resources and those used in other sign systems such as Makaton.

What are the benefits of signing with babies and toddlers?

It enables babies from as young as six months to communicate their needs effectively, thus reducing frustration. It helps parents and carers to focus on key words, which when accompanied with signs, greatly aid understanding even before children themselves can form the signs.

When used alongside speech it increases the rate at which children develop spoken language, children who sign know how important communication is and are eager to take this on to the next level.

It is a fun way of interacting with babies and toddlers, they will amaze you by how fast they learn and you will realise just how much they know long before they could ever have used speech to tell you.

Why use the resources provided by the Baby Signing Training Company?

All of our resources have been specifically designed for you people who want to teach signing to babies and young children. Specifically:

Our songs and the music which accompany them are unique to us, meaning that they contain useful key words such as nappy, drink, milk, food and more. Perhaps even more importantly they have been tried and tested on both babies and parents to ensure that that as well as being functional they are also great fun.

Our manuals contain laminated pages to keep them safe even when handled by little fingers, with the signs used in each song alongside the words to ensure they are always available for reference even in the middle of a session.

Our DVD is designed with ease of use in mind, allowing you to navigate immediately to the song you want to practice, or simply see a whole session in action.

Our products provide excellent value for money. We passionately believe in the benefits of baby signing and want to help as many parents and children as possible to access these benefits. We know you are in the best position to help us to achieve our aim and we know that we can enable you to do this.

The licence we provide within our packs allows you to run as many sessions as you like within your nominated centre with no extra cost involved.

The days of buying in people to provide these services are over, your budget freed for other things, your staff can now provide high quality baby signing sessions using our resources.
