Hi, I'm Rachel and I look after Hartbeeps in Ascot, North Reading, Bracknell and Basingstoke!
I used to work in the corporate world of television, travelling in to London every day but everything changed after having my first daughter, Maddie.
Watching Maddie grow and change, taking in the world around her and trying to make sense of everything, I found nothing short of a miracle! After her birth, I very quickly realised I had discovered a passion for babies and children. Babies and children delight in the everyday, they see the world so differently to grown-ups and I am fascinated with how they make sense of the world.
I started taking Maddie to Hartbeeps when she was eight weeks old and I had never experienced anything quite like it! I had taken her to other classes but there was something very special about Hartbeeps. It felt truly magical!
In the early days it helped us to bond, and as she got older, we enjoyed going on magical adventures in the older classes together. Maddie now has a sister, Amelie, and Amelie adores going on Hartbeeps adventures! We're always doing the "Tidy Time" song at home - they love it!
I am hugely proud to be part of the magical adventure that is Hartbeeps, and I'm looking forward to seeing you enjoy it with your little one too!
