It is with much sadness that I must advise you that next week will be the last week of all Baby Signs With Kate Playgroups, in all the venues.

Due to personal reasons, I have decided to take a break from teaching Baby Signs®, however, I will remain available to answer questions, give advice and cheer you and your child on!

I will continue to update our Facebook Page, whilst my colleagues continue offering classes and playgroups.

Thank you for allowing me to share my passion with you and for supporting me.

I hope that you will join me at one of the last sessions next week so that we can say goodbye but not adieu.
