Baby Signing is a wonderful way to communicate with your baby. In this class, we cover baby signing with elements of hands-on sensory activities, nursery rhymes, and action songs, musical instruments, bubbles, toys etc, creating a fun and exciting experience for you and your baby.

Baby signing bridges the communication gap – aiding babies to show their parents what they want/need before they can talk!
Early language development and understanding also encourages early speech as the signs are always said at the same time.

This class is ideal for babies aged 3 – 18 months.

​ Benefits:
​
​* Empowers babies to communicate earlier
* Enhances the child-parent/carer understanding and bond.
* Complements language skills
* Reduces frustration
* Boosts self-esteem and self-confidence
* Enhances early vocabulary and understanding
​
Baby Nurture teach basic BSL (British Sign language), as this is a widely used & recognised language. Combining the benefits of music, sensory activities and signs. We teach you and your child basic signs such as “milk”, “eat”, “all gone”, and so much more, covering a variety of everyday topics.
​
​Cost is £30 (price includes weekly handouts of topical signs).

Being a new parent is amazing, exciting, life-changing … but it’s also really hard work. One day you feel on top of the world; the next day you feel pretty lonely and a bit cr@p. That’s why The Nest has launched a set of Real Parenting Clubs – to help parents connect, make friends, share giggles and support each other through the tricky bits.

BABBA Club is specifically for parents or carers with newborns to crawlers. It’s an informal drop-in from 10.00-11.30 every Monday morning. There’ll be toys out for them to play with, a cuppa and lots of friendly folk for you to chat with, and a sing-song or two. This group is about taking time to connect with other parents and babbas in a friendly, no-rush environment.

Babba Club costs £2.50 per parent – just pay on the day and this includes a cuppa

[BABBA Club is one of three ‘Real Parenting Clubs’ launched by The Nest in 2017 – to help parents connect, make friends, share giggles and support each other through the tricky bits. Before BABBA Club there’s BUMP Club, and afterwards there’s TODDLE Club].

*This is on every Monday apart from Bank Holidays*

TODDLE Club is specifically for parents or carers with little ones aged around 12m – 2.5 yrs. It’s an informal drop-in from 12.30 – 2.00 every Monday afternoon. There’ll be toys and crafts for them, and a cuppa and lots of friendly faces for you. There’ll be some structured play or crafting to keep them entertained, and encourage them to interact, but there will also be plenty of time for you to chat with each other, share experiences, and enjoy a rare spot of adult conversation!

Cost is £2.50 per parent – just pay on the day:)
