Our passion at THE BEST START CLUB
is to give each child the best possible start in life. We do this through the multisensory learning of Baby Signing, gestural communication with speech, and Kindermusik, the world's most respected name in musical learning for children.
programmes, all age appropriate, are packed with musical exploration, singing, dance, movement and fun activities. It’s a multi-aspected learning process for the child, incorporating
physical, emotional, cognitive, language, social and musical growth. It’s more than just learning music and baby signing. It’s about the whole child.
With signs and gestures sourced from British Sign Language (BSL) the babies soon recognise, then use key words and activities impacting their new lives.
The medium allows the incorporation of many developmental opportunities in ways that are easy to take up at home including orientation, co-ordination, movement, gentle massage and “the 7 ‘clingy periods of the first year’.
AGE APPROPRIATE CLASSES
With the addition of new concepts and challenges along the way, each age appropriate program acts as a stepping stone to the next paving the way to a musical journey that can last many magnificent years.
We've had the great pleasure of teaching nearly 2000 children in our baby signing & music classes and workshops since we started. We have seen their progress from just a few weeks of age to going to nursery and watched their development as they learned to sign, speak and discover their musical abilities.
BABY CLUB
Our Baby Club, gives parents and children a drop-in social activity sampling all the above and a great deal more.
OUR TEACHERS
Most of our teachers are also BSL qualified, CRB checked, hold internationally recognised teaching and music qualifications.

Welcome to the mind of a child and the joy this brings.

From Our Classes...
"Thought you might like to know that Abigail (now 17 weeks old) now signs 'nappy change' as well as 'milk'! We even managed to catch it on video as she repeated it until the change was complete."
BETH & ABIGAIL, Hertford (June '08)
"Dear Iris, I just wanted to say thank you from Ellis and I. You will never know how much your classes have changed us. The past 10 weeks have been excellent. We are so looking forward to next term, Baby Signing & Kindermusik"
DONNA & ELLIS, Welwyn GC & Hatfield (April '08)
From the Experts...
"The first major way that children learn is kinesthetically, through movement, through touch, through experience. This is a time when the brain is growing very rapidly. It is too precious a time to waste."
