If you'd like to keep up to date with our news, offers, special events and be notified when booking opens for the next term, please join our mailing list here.

Keeping everyone safe is our top priority. We have introduced various procedures in our classes, designed to encourage social distancing and for infection control purposes. All our Session Leaders have undertaken extra training and have been provided with PPE and extra cleaning materials. All of our procedures have been reviewed in line with government guidelines and our risk assessments have been updated. Props will be single use and mats, door handles and light switches will all be disinfected between classes. By signing up to our classes, you agree that we can share your data with the government should they request this through the Covid-19 "Track and Trace" programme.

• Face coverings are mandatory in community centres for all adults (unless you are exempt); please wear one to enter the building, and see our further note about face coverings below.
• Please observe the signs in the venue and follow the one way system in operation on your entry to and exit from the building. A walk through video of this process will be available on our Facebook page in the week before the beginning of our Autumn term.
• Your Imaginator (Session Leader) will take your temperature before you enter the class area, and please use the hand santiser on entry.
• Your Imaginator will show you to your socially distant "island" (mat). Please bring your bag with you to the island and we ask please that you and your little one stay on this mat for the duration of the class wherever possible. If you need to leave your mat at any time however, please observe social distancing with others in the room. If you have a mobile baby or toddler, you must ensure that they do not come into contact with any of the other mats or touch other children's props. Thank you.
• On your first week, you will be provided with a face shield on your mat which you are welcome to use in our classes whilst seated on your island if you would like to. Please label your face shield with yours and your baby's name e.g. "Sharon and Bethany" and this is yours to keep and return to use in future Hartbeeps classes if you wish. Hopefully this will help customers to get to know each other's names too! We have provided face shields included in your course fee because we feel it will help bonding and learning if your baby can see all of your facial expressions and throughout our classes. However, you are of course very welcome to continue using your own face covering if you prefer. Please note that if you forget to bring a face covering, your Imaginator may have a few extra face shields available, but these will incur an additional charge as they cannot then be used by anyone else. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
• All props will be provided, already thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using baby-safe methods, in your own prop bag. This will be on your island when you arrive. Your Imaginator will ask you to remove props from the bag as and when they are needed for the activities in your session. We suggest bringing a favourite toy for your little one to explore whilst they are waiting for the session to start or to help return them to your mat in the case of toddlers "going swimming" between the islands!
• At this time, please note that we are only able to allow one parent per child to attend our classes in order that we can comply with venue restrictions on numbers and maintain appropriate social distancing. We will not be permitting tasters, drop-ins or class swaps this term either for the same reasons, meaning that the class community keeps as one bubble.

Items to bring to your class

• Your face covering.
• A favourite toy for your little one.
• A blanket to lay your baby on (unfortunately we can't provide this at this time).
• Occasionally we may ask you to bring a simple item from home for the following week, but this will always be communicated to you in advance.

Loved the classes! It’s good that the beginning and end are the same each week so my baby felt comfortable but the middle part of the class is always different. I think the tummy time part and quiet time at the end are brilliant. Max loved all the things to touch during tummy time and the lights at the end of the session. Aimee was brilliant and full of - Christine, Baby Bells mummy

We have just started Hartbeeps. I and my two boys love it! It’s really interactive for both parents and children and it’s been a lovely bonding experience too. It’s so refreshing to find a class that caters for children with younger siblings. I have been struggling to find classes that would be suitable for both my 2.5 year old and 13 month old. Best c - Ellen, Happy House mummy

I attended Hartbeeps a few years ago with my daughter and am delighted to be back with my son. It really is so magical. My little boy absolutely loves every second. Takes after mummy and spends the whole time with huge wide eyes & the biggest smile. It's good to be back. I was so delighted when a space became available - Katie, Happy House mummy

My little man and I love this class. Been going now since he was around 7 months, he is now 16months and we will continue to carry on until we can no longer go. Have so much fun and Sharon is the best. Engages all children and makes hartbeeps what it is. - Nicola, Happy House mummy

My little boy and I really enjoy Hartbeeps, Happy House. It's always so upbeat and happy, we use great props and there's always something different and new in the class.

We're so pleased we heard about this group and will definitely keep coming. - Zoe, Happy House mummy

My daughter's attention was instantly captured by Sharon's energy and enthusiasm, and she was spellbound by the props, music, and activities that make this class such a magical experience. Thank you Sharon, can't wait to come again! - Johanna, Happy House mummy
