Hi Everyone

I am so excited to be introducing myself to you all as the Hartbeeps Imaginator for the Chorley and South Ribble area.

I first heard of Hartbeeps when we lived in Leighton Buzzard and I attended the classes there with my eldest son Eddie. The class was such a great escape and gave me that opportunity to meet other mums in the area and to make friends. The classes offered a wide source of magical music, sensory play and opportunity that I couldn't do at home.

When I was pregnant with my second child James, it was time to move back North to be closer to family. One of the first things I did..... check what Hartbeeps classes were available in the area. This time I got to enjoy the classes with both my children and their grandparents too, result! I even managed to persuade my sister and her young daughter to attend a class with us :)

I never actually knew who enjoyed the classes more myself or the boys, but I did think "wow, what an amazing job" and here I am now a good number of years later getting that opportunity to share the magic sprinkles of Hartbeeps with you and your little ones.

After working so hard for the past two and half years and gaining my Level 3 Early Years Practitioner at a Distinction Grade, I still wasn't quite where I wanted to be. I just knew that I loved working with children, to be silly and bring them joy and then as if like magic an opportunity arose and I took it with both hands.

2026 is a big year. Not only will I turn 40 (what is it that they say.... life starts at 40) but I also get to run my own Hartbeeps sessions, in the area I now call home.

I look forward to meeting so many new families and bringing the magic of Hartbeeps to you, with a twist of Mel xx

Thank you so much for yesterday, we loved it, first baby class we have had due to Covid... so we were very apprehensive but you were both amazing and we loved it.. thanks Parent, Andy - Sutton

WE LOVE HARTBEEPS! You keep each classes inventive ... Well done for making such fun classes! It takes a lot of extra effort and it doesn’t go unappreciated xx Hartbeeps is our favourite class! The value for money is unbelievable – you get so many props, loads of original songs, different themes. If you can go to one class make sure it’s Hartbeeps, I’ve tried the others and this is the best. Parent, Jennifer

My daughter (and I) absolutely love coming to Hartbeeps. Every class has the loveliest atmosphere and each week the different themes and props are sooo engaging.... Our Imaginator really goes above and beyond to make it as fun and special as possible.. We’re so glad to be booked up again next term. Parent, Samantha – Epsom, Worcester Park, New Maldon

I’ve been to a few different sensory baby classes but Hartbeeps is just on another level. There’s a familiar rhythm to each class perfectly coupled with a creative theme and the props are just amazing and so unique. Parent, Laura - Epsom, Worcester Park, New Maldon

Hartbeeps is the most exciting and original class I have taken my little one to. I have tried many different classes and none offer the variety, development opportunities and stimulation that Hartbeeps does. Parent, Kim - St Albans

We have just started our Hartbeeps journey and we absolutely love it. The baby massage has been brilliant, we use it at home and our Imaginator always sends us the moves she showed us in the class. I love the yoga as well, there are always offers alternative moves for younger babies, which often sends Alfie into a lovely little snooze. It’s so calming. This class is not only for baby, but it really is for us Mums too. It gets you out the house, building confidence being out with your baby and gets you connected with other Mums. Parent, Kara - Market Harborough & South Leicestershire

We had a Hartbeeps dinosaur party for our 4-year-old and it’s safe to say our son and lots of his friends had the best time. The Imaginator engaged all the children, bringing so much engagement it was fab to watch. Parent, Victoria - Market Harborough & South Leicestershire

I have attended Baby Beeps classes for two terms with my daughter and we love it so much I booked Hartbeeps for her 1st birthday. Sara, our Imaginator was fantastic as always and the children and parents thoroughly enjoyed it. Will deffo book again in the future. Thankyou x Parent, Melissa - Market Harborough & South Leicestershire

A FANTASTIC learning opportunity for all and the best bit is the children are learning new and exciting things through play and having fun. The songs are so catchy, we sing them all week long! Parent
