TinyTalk Kent Downs Reviews 17

We joined the Newborn class and now we go to the baby class. I would really recommend both!

The newborn class was amazing to set you up with the BSL signs you’ll actually use everyday (milk, bath, nappy etc) but also teach you a lot about newborn communication generally - each session is focused on a different sense so you learn what can they see, hear etc. and how to engage that sense each week. There’s plenty of songs as well and Deb makes you a tea/coffee and facilitates a lovely environment where you get time to chat with the other parents there too.

The baby class has a different theme each week (eg weather) and you learn some additional BSL signs relevant to the theme, as well as singing songs / doing activities (eg reading books) and still get time to chat and socialise with the other parents.

Baby is engaged by the singing / activities while parents get to learn a new life skill which is actually relevant to life outside of baby (TinyTalk teaches BSL which can be used in other situations rather than Makaton / ABC signing which is only used by babies really).

Deb is also super friendly and amazing! She genuinely cares about hearing how your week has been. I can’t always make all the sessions each week so Deb suggested I sign up to the shift package so I can pick which sessions I attend over 2 terms which is such good flexibility!

Tinytalk is an absolute favourite in our family! We love the time it gives to play and then to connecting with others. The flexibility to bring older children and to go to another session that week is you miss one. It is always so welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

My daughter and I have attended Deb’s classes for a year now!
My daughter has had the most magical time learning and growing though each terms themes. It’s been a delight to watch how much she enjoys herself and loves Deb 💕
Highly recommend!!

We've really enjoyed coming to TinyTalk at Wye - and have been going since my baby was 5 months old. I really like the smaller class sizes, and the warm welcome we receive when coming.
My baby is usually quite cautious and reserved, and he's been so comfortable in this environment, interacting really well with the songs and toys, and really come out of his shell.
I really appreciate the fact it's not too overwhelming from a sensory perspective - as he struggled with very loud noises, and lots of bright flashing lights.
We've used the signs day to day, and can see him starting to use them to interact, and he loves the songs we sing during the week.
I also really appreciate having a wind down time with a cup of tea and a biscuit, and having the opportunity to talk to other parents and create a bit of a network - which does not usually happen in other classes. It's been brilliant!

I was apprehensive at first thinking that a seven week old baby would not get much out of the newborn sessions. But both my baby and I benefited from joining the newborn signing classes with Becky. They were my first non-medical events postpartum and I was made to feel welcome even though my baby cried a lot. Becky offered tips, too. I was reminded of some key signs eg milk, mum, etc, and I met lovely people. Highly recommended for first time parents. As for baby signing more generally, it's a nobrainer as I have seen babies communicate pre-verbally using a wide range of signs so I will keep attending TT for as long as possible.

Hands down the best baby class we went to - the perfect mix of fun and learning with a lovely opportunity to socialise at the end while the little ones play.

We always love our classes my boy has been going since he was 2 months and he is now 7 months and he's grown so much more social with the other babies it's lovely to see! He adores Becky always see him watching her singing it's just wonderful to watch!

We recently started with Tiny Talk and absolutely love the sessions! My baby really enjoys the songs, actions and all the fun toys/accessories used in the session. Deb is lovely and so welcoming, engaging and encouraging. Her ideas are so creative and capture all the babies and toddlers in the session. I am loving learning sign language and use it every day with my baby. Yesterday had a valentines theme and Deb created a lovely photograph set up area which was really cute! We will definitely be continuing Tiny Talk and I would highly recommend it!

I've been bringin my little one since he was four months old and he adores it. Becky is super friendly and welcoming and my kiddo gets really into it. He's beginning to use the signs now and understands some that we do which has made working out what he wants so much easier :)

We’ve been attending Becky’s class since my little one was around 4 months old (she’s now 19 months!) Since then, she knows more signs than I could count and it saves a lot of meltdowns because she can communicate with me. Hands down the best class we’ve done! With a fab teacher and a truly lovely bunch of other parents, you won’t regret joining!

We love the Tiny Talk classes. Each week’s signs are grouped around a theme, which makes them much easier to remember and practice at home. My son especially enjoys the nursery rhymes – they really help reinforce the signs you learn each week, as well as being fun and engaging for the babies.
The classes are completely baby-led, creating a relaxed environment where there’s no pressure. It’s also such a lovely opportunity to meet other parents and have a chat while the babies play together.

Every Tiny Talk class I’ve been to has been so welcoming. The newborn class was a fab way to meet mums with babies at similar stages, share experiences and war stories and have the opportunity to realise you’re not the only one going through it! Becky also has a folder of leaflets with other local groups which is helpful as there is so much out there that you probably don’t know about.

We're absolutely loving our time at tiny talks! We started going when my little one was just a couple months old and he's now over a year. The classes are always fun and get the little ones interacting. It also helps get my brain going using the signs around the house and seeing my boy respond and communicate the signs with me has been so helpful!! The community we've built there has been great and it really has become such a core part of our lives.

Me and my daughter have been doing tiny talk for almost 2 year now we love it it’s such a lovely group.

This is a fantastic class which is not only fun but educational for both mum & baby!

We have really enjoyed our time at TinyTalk and it's been a lifeline at times. We've made friends, learned new things and got moving and singing - all brilliant things for your wellbeing! Deb's classes are always positive, supportive and professional and I'd always recommend them to anyone looking for a nice chilled group with great value for money.

I have attended TinyTalk classes since by baby was a couple of months old and he has loved every minute at each stage of his growth and development. The teachers are fantastic, the classes are fun but also educational and it's the perfect place to connect with other Mums in a safe a welcoming environment.
