Hi I am Steph and I am a Mummy to two gorgeous children who take up lots of my time, as all Mummies know! I have childcare two days per week and have been teaching baby and toddler yoga on these days over the last three years. I love my job, I love working with parents and their children and I love getting to know them over the weeks, months and in some cases years they come to my classes. However two days isn't a lot of time to do all the class plannning and preparation, marketing and networking needed to fill classes and run a successful business, so I have been looking for a franchise that fitted my values and could offer me the support I needed. Enter Hartbeeps and Sarah! I took my daughter to some Hartbeeps classes and we both has such fun and many of the Mums who came to my classes were also going to Hartbeeps and spoke very highly of it. When I found that Sarah was franchising the business, I jumped at the chance to become part of the Hartbeeps family. Running your own business is great but it can be lonely, so it is going to be great to have peers to talk to about good days and bad and to ask for advice. I just can't wait to get started!

'I have worked as a singing entertainer within Nurseries for 5 years. Having first hand experience about delivering musical sessions for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, I decided it was time to discover what current musical franchises do and how they deliver their product in view of taking on a business that had already been tried and tested for myself.
In 2009 my daughter Scarlett was born. I quickly learnt about my own childs development and now have a very instant insight into the world of observation, milestones and the amazing journey a baby makes once they come into this world. Once the decision to return to work was made I felt there was more to me as an 'Entertainer' in this industry.
I started looking at various Franchise and Brands; it was when I heard from a friend who also works in childcare about Hartbeeps I had to see this for myself. I went along to a Hartbeeps Baby Beeps session with my daughter (then 5 months) and I instantly saw that this was something different, VERY different!
Scarlett adored the session and I adored the session for the magical way it made us feel and how happy all the other parents and children were around us.
Whilst attending Hartbeeps sessions I was still out there looking at Musical Franchises. I am a business minded person and found that a lot of companies had a great business model, but the music was all "the same" lacking imagination or originality. It was only when I found Hartbeeps were looking to franchise that it suddenly clicked!
Hartbeeps cherishes those happy and amazing moments for a baby, toddler or preschooler. It's a magical world that has been extremely well researched. It's got layers to it that I can't wait to unfurl! You are not just singing a song and sounding 'nice' you are producing a moment that is filled with multi-sensory and inspired material. The Hartbeeps franchise model reflects that also. It makes you want to know more. You can make it become part of your life so easily and let it discover you, as you discover it!
