Makaton is a language programme that uses signs and symbols alongside speech, helping children develop essential communication skills—especially beneficial for those with speech, language, or learning difficulties, but valuable for all children.

Each session includes a new theme and introduces key Makaton signs, supporting:

• Early language development
• Greater emotional understanding
• Social confidence and inclusive communication
• A deeper connection to storytelling

Makaton Storytime isn’t just about signs—it’s about building a community where every child is supported, seen, and heard.

Come along, join in the fun, and discover the power of signing together.
