Manager of Hartbeeps West and South West London. I run Hartbeeps W & SW London Social Media  and also teach lots for Hartbeeps all over. I love my job and wearing colourful dungarees.

 

I graduated from London College of music, and have 10 years experience working with children in play and drama settings. Along with lots of experience with babies and birthday parties! Managing this awesome company brings me lots of joy along with grey hairs... but I'm thrilled to be working for Hartbeeps!!

 

When I'm not singing to babies I also swing from big heights doing Aerial silks and love a good board game.

Lois first started performing at the age of six, when her parents noticed her eagerness to perform and enrolled her at Barbara Speak stage school.

Lois started singing professionally at the age of 16. She won a scholarship from BMI record label for the prestigious Tech Music School in West London.

Lois sings as part of a vintage trio called the 'Satin Dollz' they have performed in the Aldwych theatre in London's Westend, done a nation wide theatre tour with world famous swing band 'the jive aces' headlined at vintage festivals, Chelsea flower show, Great Gatsby party and Bletchley park to name a few.

Lois is also a children entertainer, working and singing as different Disney Characters. She first took an interest in Hartbeeps when she used to take her own son (now 6) to Hartbeeps and fell in love with the classes.

Lois loves watching children's development from newborn to toddler, creating a bond with all the children she teaches and watching even the shy children come out of their shell and begin to join in, is wonderful to be a part of.

I have an acting degree and also have a level 5 qualification in childcare and management.

My passions are singing and the arts, especially going to the theatre. I graduated from St Mary's University and also have over 8 years of experience working in nurseries with children from ages 3 months to 4 years old.

Hello I’m Elliott and  I am so excited to be apart of the Hartbeeps family!

I'm trained in musical theatre. I love all things silly and all things fun and I'll be bringing all the fun in the world to each and every one of my classes.

I've been an actor, a salesman, a chef (I’m passionate about foooood!) and even an industrial cleaner but now it's time to do what I love and that is to go on musical adventures with all the new little people I meet!

Our new Admin wizard!!

 

Hello I'm Ruth, and I'm super excited to be joining the Hartbeeps team! I first discovered Hartbeeps 5 years ago with my daughter and have loved taking both my children to classes over the years. I know how important it is to find a kids class that is great fun for the parents and carers as well! Before having my children I worked in advertising and media for 13 years and I am now looking forward to helping other parents discover Hartbeeps for themselves. I will be behind the scenes helping to keep everything running smoothly. 
When I'm not with my own family, I love going to the theatre and practising yoga, when I get a minute to myself!

Hello, I'm Alice! I'm a trained actor and have been performing and making theatre for over 10 years. I began working for Hartbeeps back in 2018 running parties but took a break when my eldest son was born. Since then we've added to our family and I'm now a proud mum to 2 boys under 3 ?‍?‍?‍?

I was recently awarded an Arts Council 'Develop Your Creative Practice' grant meaning I could specialise in making theatre for babies, toddlers and their families. So, it's fair to say that returning to Hartbeeps alongside performing, makes perfect sense for me! 

I love eating potatoes (in any form), the colour pink, wearing dungarees and I'll never tire of big family cuddles.

I'm Kate, a Hartbeeps imaginator, teacher and musician. My musical journey started with learning the violin when I was 7 and I then started singing later on. Since then my passion has taken me to study music in Bath, where I graduated in 2018. I started teaching vocal lessons and had always wanted to work with little ones too, so to find Hartbeeps has been amazing.
I went along to experience one of the sessions and immediately fell in love with the energy, magic and creativeness in the room. Being able to take babies on fun-filled journeys each week is so special - it is always a joy to see them smiling back at us. I love teaching all ages in my work, but to experience our Hartbeepers development and growth is so wonderful. I can’t wait to welcome you to our magical sessions! 

"Being quite a chilled out, and usually sleepy baby, I wasn't sure if she would be quite ready for it just yet, but I'm glad that I decided to try it out anyway. She was engaged from the moment we entered the room, excitedly looking around and exclaiming Premlata Fagan
"I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all the sessions of happiness and fun that Hartbeeps has offered us over the past one and a half years - it was our happy place! My little one started out when she was a little baby and is now a big girl. " "Our Happy Place!"
"It was a beautiful class, I’m so happy I found a lovely class to join in with my little boy Oliver. I’m looking forward to joining more classes!" "A Beautiful Class!"
"I've been going to Hartbeeps since my daughter was about 3 months old, she is now 14 months. We've been to all of the classes up to walking. Millie and Laura are amazing! Every week their energy and happiness is wonderful and contagious. They are fantastic with the kids and always are patient and sweet. I really think these two are great at what they do." Megan Bannings
"Just wanted to say thank you SO much to you and Millie for another amazing birthday party for the girls on Saturday. You put so much effort into making it fun and exciting for the children and they all had a blast. We had so many comments afterwards about how great the entertainment was, so thank you." Phoebe Matheson
“I also wanted to take the chance to say thank you so much to both you and in particular, Millie, for the classes we've attended, it was with out a doubt, one of Marley’s (and mine!) favourite classes and it got us through a very strange year as a first time mum. Millie is truly brilliant and Marley was so engaged with her. We looked forward to it every week and I’m sure we will be attending in the future should we have another little one at some point.” Marley's Mummy
“I am so grateful to Hartbeeps for all the hard work and effort put into making sure these classes go ahead. We were lucky enough to attend last term and even though Sonny looked grumpy most of the time ????, he loved it and so did I! I made some friends which is so important, especially this year when many of us have no one else, so I am extremely grateful” Happy Mummy - I made some friends which is so important
“I have so valued the classes as an amazing way to make memories and really quality time with my daughter” Quality time with my daughter
"Hartbeeps gave me much more confidence to sing and dance with my boy at home" Confident Mumma
I just wanted to let you known to at we were on the fence as to whether this was going to be worth the money given that Peyton is only 9 weeks old. We absolutely loved it - she was super engaged and the quality time together with movements to help her development were special. Thanks for this opportunity - and bonus that it’s about 1.5 blocks from my house! Peyton's Mummy Kenda x We were on the fence as to whether this was going to be worth the money BUT We absolutely loved it!
Laura really is an incredible teacher- I know that you will already know this but she really is so fabulous. I’m a child psychologist when not being a mum and I have tried a few classes and obviously know a few things about attunement with babies as a result and I have to say that Laura is very uniquely special- her talents are just spectacular. I have to say that Laura is very uniquely special- her talents are just spectacular.
Wanted to pop you an email because I went to my first class today and it was so so lovely I nearly cried! Not sure what came over me but it was a really wonderful experience. So excited about the rest of the term. It was a really wonderful experience
Thanks Kimmy and Alex! We had an absolute ball - I’ve never looked forward to Mondays that much, ever! You and the team do such a fantastic job to deliver a class that captivates little ones and brings huge grins to all the parents’ faces. Even my husband says ‘I wonder what Freddie will be dressed up in this week’ ???? The classes are without doubt a maternity leave highlight. We’re all booked in for next term! - I’m sure spaces are harder to get than Glasto tickets! We had an absolute ball. I’ve never looked forward to Mondays that much, ever!
