Founder Julie Ryder comments: "The shop is a key part of our operation, it's been built to help us achieve our goals of aiming to promote clear communication, early language skills and confidence in young children through fun classes and professional supporting materials; and gaining a reputation for the highest quality, most educational and enjoyable Baby Signing Classes in the UK and Ireland."

Franchisees will benefit from increased traffic on the TalkFirst site as well as a general increase in awareness of the benefits of baby signing. Franchisees can also buy all the 'Dexter' products at a discounted price to sell on direct to parents at their baby signing classes. TalkFirst has recently launched its franchise operation and is looking to recruit new franchisees in all areas of the UK. Franchisees must have Level 1 British Sign Language.
