TESTIMONIALS
Just a few of the lovely things people have had to say about us!
"Wanted to say how you are complimented and praised by my clients that attend your sessions, just wanted you to know...You're doing great!"
"As an older 'surprise' mum, I was really nervous at the thought of entering a group of new, younger mums. I need not have worried. Everyone was lovely, very welcoming and we had a lot of fun. Looking forward to going back next week to learn some more signs. The best money I have ever spent."
"Here at The Old Station Nursery on Monks Road we are lucky enough to enjoy baby signing every Wednesday morning. The staff, children and parents thoroughly enjoy the class. Children have begun to sign independently and share the songs and signs at home too. Kirsty is brilliant and the children really enjoy seeing her. We cannot recommend her service enough. Really good value for money and when you see a child use sign it is a priceless moment!! Especially when they dont speak yet... Fantastic."
"Baby and toddler signing is great fun and so useful. I have 3 children and they have all learnt to sign before they could talk. I have never had any meltdown tantrums with my children as they have always been able to tell me what they want or need so neither of us have ever got frustrated.
I love both baby and toddler signing because they are very well structured and thought out, each week there is a different topic from meal times to animals. The children don't have to sit still and are free to roam about.
We first song a welcome song, then learn signs through songs and nursery rhymes, have time with puppets and instruments (to get babies used to watching or hands), use the parachute, have bubbles then a goodbye song. We then get time at the end to chat with other mums while the little ones play with each other and the toys and have snacks.
The sessions are very friendly and relaxed and anyone is made to feel welcome. The equipment used is new and appropriate. There is lots of parking and baby changing facilities. There's not many places I feel confident taking my twins by myself. For various reasons including: what if 1 needs a nappy change? How do I get them both safely out of the car and in a venue? Because everyone is so friendly we all watch out for all the children in the room and lots of mums are more than happy to help me including Kirsty who leads the classes. "
"Kirsty we just have to message you straight away to say how brilliant you were today! Thank you."
"5 stars. I booked baby signing Lincoln for my son's first birthday. It was absolutely excellent and all the children and mums and dads enjoyed it. Kirsty made everybody feel at ease and had a lovely manner with the children. I can highly recommend the longer session with toys. I would definitely book again!"
"I just wanted to say thank you.
When my twin sons were younger, we started attending baby signing classes at North Hykeham. They loved the sessions, as did we. As our schedule at home changed, it meant that we could no longer attend the sessions. We carried on signing at home though, with a little help from Mr Tumble also.
A month ago now, my son was diagnosed as having a brain tumour. He has had surgery to remove the tumour, and is currently waiting to undergo treatment, either radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The after effects of the surgery has left him with very limited speech. He has however been a managing to sign alongside.
I just wanted to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart for making the classes so enjoyable and easy to learn. The signs you taught us all have meant that we are all able to communicate with him, and I can't thank you enough. x "
"My little one is signing so many things now at 16 months and our whole family can understand his needs and wants."
"I love the variety of songs, your positive attitude and smile are wonderful and very welcoming. The fact that signs are included and practiced in the songs is fantastic"
"I love Kirsty's enthusiasm and interaction with the children. I also love that I have been able to bring my eldest child to signing to the age of three and a half along with my youngest. My children love music and credit baby signing with this."
"From my child's point of view he seems to love the bubbles, puppets and parachute games so for me the best thing is to see him happy and engaged. Personally I enjoy learning new signs too so appreciate the prompt cards to take home to learn"
"I love the structure and routine of the class. I also love that new songs are introduced from time to time"
"Songs are revisited regularly with a nice mix of new ones each week. Musical instruments and other props used give the children lots of different stimuli"
