Welcome to the TinyTalk classes of
Katie Shorten
Hello and welcome to TinyTalk North and East Cardiff! My name is Katie and I’m your local TinyTalk Teacher and mum to Maya who is 9 and Nell who is 5.
I was first introduced to signing when I started out as a Teacher working with children with additional needs. I was blown away by how these children were able to communicate their wants and needs through signs. I actively used sign language throughout my career and
I was first introduced to signing when I started out as a Teacher working with children with additional needs. I was blown away by how these children were able to communicate their wants and needs through signs. I actively used sign language throughout my career and
found it a vital tool to help break down communication barriers and give children a voice.
When I had my two children I was very keen to baby sign with both of them, my husband and I signed every day with the girls. It all paid off when both of them were using signs every day to communicate. At 14 months Nell had over 30 signs! Nell’s favourite sign was ‘Duck’ and she often signed this if she wanted to go to the local park to see them!
So lets help your little one unlock the magic of communication with TinyTalk Baby Sign Language Classes and Toddler Talking Classes, available in Llandaff North, Rhiwbina, Roath, and Radyr.
Our Baby Sign Language Classes are perfect for babies from birth to 18 months, using music, singing, sensory activities, and tactile play to teach essential British Sign Language (BSL) signs. Through nursery rhymes, interactive props, books, and hands-on sensory play, your baby will gain tools to communicate their needs and emotions before they can speak, supporting early language development and fostering a strong bond between you.
For older children, our Toddler Talking Classes (18 months to pre-school) build on these early skills, focusing on boosting speech, confidence, and social interaction through fun songs, stories, and engaging activities tailored to their growing abilities.
Join us at TinyTalk in Cardiff North and East, where we celebrate every step of your child’s baby development journey with joyful play, signing and connection.
Sign up today and give your child the gift of Baby Signing and confident communication!
I can’t wait to see you in class soon!
