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. We hope that our extra measures will allow all our customers and staff to enjoy our classes again, safe in the knowledge that we have taken every step possible to protect you and your family whilst at Hartbeeps.

• 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.
• 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.
• You may prefer to wear a face shield rather than a mask on your mat as it will help bonding and learning if your baby can see all of your facial expressions throughout our classes. You have the option to buy one for an additional £3 when you enrol on your course and if you choose to purchase one, you can collect this from your Imaginator at the beginning of your first class. However, you are of course very welcome to continue using your own face covering if you prefer, or your visor from last term if you are a repeat customer. 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.
• If a person other than the adult listed on your booking will be bringing your child/ children to Hartbeeps, please email sharon.g@hartbeeps.com with their full name and contact details which we must legally keep a record of for 21 days for Track and Trace purposes. Thank you for your help with this matter.

• 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
