Hi!

I'm Carly and I am the franchise owner for Hartbeeps Wolverhampton, Stourbridge, Dudley, Bridgnorth, South Staffs and Stafford.

My husband Chris and I are blessed with two beautiful boys Noah and Toby

My first love is Music and I studied this at university before completing my Primary PGCE – I worked as a primary teacher for 4 years and then as a music/vocal teacher for Birmingham music services for 10 years before making the decision after having my children to become self-employed so that I could fit working life around them.

I am also the owner and franchisor of Sling Swing - a babywearing dance class for parents and their little ones. I founded and launched Sling Swing in 2013 whilst on maternity leave with my eldest. Sling Swing affords parents some 'me tine' to dance, socialise and meet other parents whilst having baby with them for some quality bonding time – it is fab for both parents and babies – babies get to be close to mum or dad, gain musical awareness, a great sense of rhythm and meet other babies www.slingswing.co.uk

After having my second son I heard about Hartbeeps through one of my Sling Swing ladies and then was asked to cross promote with Hartbeeps. As there were no classes anywhere near me, I decided to travel and attend one – and am so glad I did!

I instantly fell in love! The classes were magical and I left feeling saddened that I couldn't take my children there every week.

The answer?......

Start running Hartbeeps classes myself of course!

I absolutely love running Hartbeeps classes and bringing the magic to all of the little ones that attend our weekly sessions! I now have a team of four amazing teachers and we run around 40 sessions a week in the area.

I currently run sessions in Wombourne, Tettenhall, Penn and Sling Swing in Penn too!

The classes use years of developmental research to deliver an interactive programme that caters perfectly to the age and development of each child. The blend of imagination and music completely engages the children and adults that attend and the classes are super fun!

Drop me an email to book your space – I'd love to have you along and I know you and your babies and toddlers will love it as much as we do!

See you soon
Carly xx

Hi, my name is Jess and I've been a Hartbeeps Imaginator for around 3 years now, though a surprise baby and three lockdowns have meant that I've had a few breaks!
Here are five things about me:
1: I have two lovely children, Daisy and Sam.
2. My classes are in Sedgley, Amblecote and Pattingham but I have also taught classes in Essington, Norton, Wall Heath and started my Hartbeeps adventure working in Kidderminster.
3. My favourite thing about my job is seeing how the children love our sessions and watching them develop week after week as their little personalities come out.
4. My favourite puppet is Lola, she's so much fun

Hi, my name is Lianne and I'm a mom to 2 beautiful girls.

I gave up work when I had my youngest and have had the privilege of being a stay at mom for the past year.

I was super excited when the opportunity to join Hartbeeps came along as i had heard so many lovely things about it.

I can't wait to bring the magic of Hartbeeps to life and see the happiness on all those little faces.

Hi!

My name is Emma and I'm a mum to boy/girl twins Annabelle and Jude.

I've been teaching dance for 15 years now, which I went back to in 2019 after 3 years on maternity leave.

I'm really excited to join Hartbeeps. I love seeing the little ones faces light up and watching as they learn new things. I also love watching the grown ups bond with the children.

I'm ready for a new challenge and can't wait to get started!

Hi...I'm Emma...

Mom to 3...2 boys and a girl ages 12,10 and 6. and decided instead of going back into schools or nurseries I would do something that I could fit around my family.

I began my own business hosting children's parties and that in turn led to me buying a pre-existing business-Crafty Kids Cafe. Unfortunately due to COVID I had to close down the premises, so when I saw the advert for Hartbeeps Imaginators it was right up my street,

I love having fun with parents and children and seeing special bonds develop, I have missed interaction with children so much over lockdown and can't wait to begin my new exciting journey.

Started taking my little boy to Hartbeeps from 9 weeks and he loves it! Only his second session this week and he is entertained and alert through the whole 45 minute session. Great place to make friends with other moms and babies. Carly is wonderful- will keep coming back to Hartbeeps - it’s fab xxxx Melissa Baker
Alexia loved her first time at Hartbeeps . She squealed and smiled throughout the whole session. Can't wait till next week! Hayley Jones
Brilliant! I look forward to this every week, my little boy loves Baby bells and we have such a lovely time every time we go! X Katrina Dhillon
'd like to say a huge thank you, your classes and baby Christmas rave have been fantastic. They have helped my little one become more confident around lots of people and new sounds. He was very sensitive to new sounds before we started to attend your classes thank you again xx Leanne Brighton
