Sing and Sign - Buxton

10/03/2026

Week 7 is my favourite week in Sing and Sign Stage 1. We sing about our feelings. Are you talking to your child about how they're feeling? Here's why it's important:
Talking about feelings is an essential part of mental health and wellbeing. It helps to process emotions, reduces stress, and fosters stronger relationships. Our children are feeling so many things and we can help them to process. Even when preverbal, being able to sign what they're feeling can help us to resolve an issue.

When my daughter was tiny she saw another child crying and she signed 'sad' to me. Although she wasn't able to verbalise what was happening, she was able to emphasise with another child and understand the emotion.

Teaching 'happy', 'sad', 'angry', 'tired' etc is such a joy for me. It's teaching empowerment to our children and also helps us as adults to speak about how we are feeling, too. Our children are never too young to hear all these words and begin their path to understanding.

This is just one of the topics we explore. There's so many more! Here's where to find out more information about my next term:

We do love a song to help move the day along! 🥰

Top Tip Tuesday… 😊 Songs are at the heart of Sing and Sign and we pride ourselves on the fact that ours are fun, useful, and perfectly suited to your baby’s everyday routines. 😁

Whether you’re changing a nappy, washing hands, getting dressed, brushing teeth or getting ready for bed - we’ve got a song for it! And remember, you can always ad lib the lyrics yourself to fit whatever you’re doing… we don’t mind! 😁

Music is a fantastic way of calming, distracting, and easing little ones through tricky moments. Before they know it, the job is done and the stress levels are lower for everyone. Why not give one of our songs a go today when you’re trying to get something done? You may be amazed at how it helps! 🎶😊

Love from, Sing and Sign xx

That your baby's first teacher is you!

Babies are sponges and are constantly learning from what we do. This is why I always say that the magic will probably not happen in classes. The babies in my classes are absolutely not expected to sit still and pay attention. After all, I'm predominantly there to teach you. Then you take the things you have learned home and continue the modelling there. Consistency is key, and your babies will follow.

Sing and Sign is not a preachy class. We learn through music and singing. We laugh, we play, and we learn.

Booking is open for Summer term and classes are offered up to around 2.5 years old.

Questions? Please get in touch. Always happy to chat!

Time to find books in Chapel-en-le-Frith! I placed the first one and popped inside for a coffee. When I came out it had gone! So I've hidden another! Unfortunately it was so wet, I didn't leave more on benches.

I hope you enjoy the story!

Happy World Book Day 2026!

I hope you all get to share a wonderful book today! Babies are never too young to be read to. All those words are seeping into their brains and helping those pathways build.

Enjoy your day!

🤩 WOW – we are absolutely thrilled! Sing and Sign has been named an ICAP Awards Trailblazer finalist for 2026!

👐🏻 From pioneering baby signing classes in the UK some 25 years ago to supporting thousands of families every year, this recognition means so much. It celebrates the innovation of our founder, Sasha Felix; the passion and dedication of our teachers; the trust of our wonderful families; and the incredible little ones who show us every day just how powerful early communication can be.

🫶🏻 What an honour to see our work recognised on a national stage - and all in the 25th anniversary year of the programme. We couldn’t be prouder! 🌟
