About Me
Welcome to Sing and Sign classes with Vesna
Hi, and warm welcome to
Islington, Primrose Hill, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Hampstead, Marylebone and St John’s Wood
Sing and Sign with Vesna,
I am your local baby signing teacher since 2007, running classes in London post codes:
N1, NW1, NW3, NW8, SW3 and W8.
More about me,
Hi, I'm Vesna, a mum of 2 boys, passionate about early communication and child development. Here to inspire, support and guide new parents, and help you support your baby's unique communication journey, as and while their speech develops.
My own baby signing journey started back in 2005. Raising my children in bilingual environment, I was lucky enough to find a local Sing and Sign mother and baby group to join with my baby boy. It was my first ever parent and baby group, the best baby class, it became my passion and for the past 16+ years, my job!
Since then, I have been very privileged to teach thousands of babies and their families in London. They often say that this is by far, the best thing they have ever done with their child. To see for yourself, if this is something your family would benefit from, please do get in touch.
Wherever you find yourself on your parenting journey, you are exactly where you need to be and welcome to join us.
We help you support and nurture your baby’s communication from birth.
Babies are capable of understanding so much more than they are able to tell us at first, before they start talking. They try the best they can with sounds, gestures, copying and imitating grown-ups around them with varying degrees of success.
We believe that supporting babies with extra gestures and signs this early on, offers some much needed help during this time, increasing understanding for both parents and their preverbal child.
Our programme is designed to help new parents navigate this exciting new journey with your little one as we help you build and nurture strong communication from birth, that complements speech and language development and helps you deepen your connection.
It’s natural, it’s easy and lots of fun, for both of you!

Sing and Sign terms
The Sing and Sign programme follows a ten-week curriculum and I teach three terms throughout the year roughly following the school terms.
Spring term begins mid January
Summer term begins late April
Autumn term begins mid September
Spaces are limited and if the class of your choice is fully booked, please register for the waiting list and I will keep you updated. More classes will be added whenever there is enough interest.
Anything else?
We currently limit the number of families per class to around 12 depending on the room. This keeps classes small, friendly and relaxed but it does mean places are limited so book early!
