Hi I’m Hazel!
 

I moved to London from Dublin (Ireland) back in 2011 as I had been awarded a scholarship (Dance and Drama Award) in order to study at the amazing Millennium Performing Arts College where I gained a HNDiploma in dance and performing arts:)
 

After graduating, I was lucky enough to go on to enjoy a rewarding career within the performing arts industry and I enjoyed many wonderful  years performing on cruise ships, in hotels, on tour, at world famous attractions, at corporate events and on TV!
 

As the years went on, I fell more and more into teaching which is when I discovered Hartbeeps! I was in awe of the wonderful, magical and unique sessions and jumped down the rabbit hole feet first! I couldn’t wait to learn all about Hartbeeps and have always had a real affinity with children from all of my years of teaching dance, and found that teaching parents and toddlers/babies was a natural progression for me☺
 

I adore the interactive and carefully curated sessions which are fun, educational and completely original compared to anything else I’ve ever seen! I am also an advocate of signing, inclusivity and using multiple means of communication and love that we have recently introduced the new Hartbeeps Baby Signing Hub. 
 

I have proudly worked for Hartbeeps South London and Hartbeeps Medway over the years and worked for the “Hartbeeps At Home” programme where I created 20+ videos for Hartbeepers nationwide to enjoy during lockdown.
 

After many years of teaching, I was thrilled to have been offered the incredible opportunity to co own the North Kent Franchise with my good friend Kirsty from January 2023 and I cannot wait to work with the incredible team we have to expand, grow and learn together:)

FUN FACT:

I have worked for many a Princess companies over the years and have frequently play the parts of Ana, Elsa and the Little Mermaid. I had the honour of playing Princess Fiona at a children’s hospice in London for Dreamworks and to this day it is one of my most special memories as it was a magical day for the children involved❤

Hello! My name is Kirsty and I love sharing the Hartbeeps' magic sprinkles with mums, babies and toddlers across our three amazing programmes!

I have two boys and a step daughter that I love nothing more than being silly with:) They often go on magic carpet rides (me dragging the blanket with them on it across the floor), karaoke and crazy dances - We love all things musical in our house!

I started my career in social care, progressing to become a deputy manager of a Childrens home for children who have experienced trauma and neglect❤ After having my 2nd child, I sought work that would fit in around a busy family life and someone mentioned Hartbeeps to me. I was invited to come along to watch a class take place and just knew that is what I wanted to do - I signed up IMMEDIATELY!

I absolutely love being an imaginator and seeing all the babies develop and grow into the older classes. The friendships I have made personally and also watched flourish in classes (not just with the babies but adults too) have made a real imprint on me and I’m so lucky to call this my job:)

When a rare opportunity became available to buy my own franchise I snapped it up. A later opportunity arose where North Kent Hartbeeps became available so I got in touch with Hazel and the rest is history.

FUN FACT:

I can get my foot behind my head and I can sing a brilliant version of "it's oh so quiet" by Bjork haha!

I hope you will join us and experience the magic! Come along and see what everyone is talking about……
