Hello, My name is Vanessa and I came out of teaching a few years ago (I taught for 10 years!). 

I have been lucky enough to attend Hartbeeps as a mummy back in 2017 with my son- and I attended the Happy House classes with both of my children as l also have a daughter who is 2 years younger than her brother. 

I always loved how expressive and imaginative the classes with Hartbeeps are; the singing, dancing and of course, the dress up props!

When I was teaching, I was totally blown away by the imagination, creativity and individuality of the little minds of the children in my Early Years classroom; I felt so lucky to be a part of guiding and teaching them as they progressed into the next stage of their school life. So I am incredibly excited to get to know parents and their little ones through being an Imaginator at Hartbeeps, so we can enjoy this wonderful, fun learning experience together!

I had been an Imaginator for 2 years when I was given the amazing opportunity to become franchise owner in Autumn of 2024. 

It’s an absolute dream to continue building the relationships with grown ups and their little ones that I’d already started. Going from being a mummy attending sessions, to an Imaginator and finally becoming franchise owner. I am grateful and proud to be a part of the Hartbeeps team. 

Come along to classes on Monday and Wednesday at Jungle Adventure, Tuesday in Sudbury and Thursday in Brightlingsea. 

Hello! My name is Sarah, I'm excited to be joining the Colchester Hartbeeps team, I cannot wait to get to know you all, in the meantime here's a little bit about me...

I have been involved in community choirs and amateur dramatics for most of my adult life, it has given me lots of wonderful experiences performing around the UK and abroad at various events, my absolute 'icing on the cake dream come true' gig was to perform at Disney! (I really didn't want to come home!)

It's safe to say music and theatre are my 2 favourite things, I love seeing the enjoyment and feel good factor it brings to children and adults alike, in fact I'm fairly sure it's why I love Hartbeeps so much as it's a world of musical imagination!

So, back in the real world away from the dizzy heights of pink castles, music and sparkles, I am mum to twin boys George and Stanley who have recently started their primary school adventures. We attended Hartbeeps when they were younger and we absolutely loved it, (sometimes I think I loved it EVEN more than the boys it helped us so much to have something to look forward to and it quickly became part of our weekly routine.

I feel extremely honoured to join Hartbeeps as an Imaginator and to be able to embark on the journey with all of you. I look forward to meeting you all at sessions in and around Colchester over the coming weeks, we are going to have so much fun
