Sign language class wins award

04 July 2009

A SIGN language class for babies in Weston has scooped a national award.

Sing and Sign music group has won a What's On 4 Little Ones Awards 2009, which celebrates pre-school activities in the UK.

The club, run by mum Lisa Hayes, teaches babies how to communicate with sign by listening to songs and rhymes.

Mrs Hayes said: "It was wonderful just to be nominated for this award and now to win as well is just fantastic.

"I am so pleased the lovely parents who come to our groups have valued our classes enough to want to vote for us in such numbers.

"I started teaching Sing and Sign because I loved signing with my own baby and it's wonderful to know so many other parents are now enjoying it too."

What's On 4 Little Ones co-founder Sam Willoughby said: "We're so proud of all our winners who have clearly demonstrated excellence in their field.

"Every pre-school activity in the UK had the chance to be nominated and voted for, making the awards a true representation of how parents feel towards what is on offer for their little ones.
