Why Hartbeeps?

Specially tailored

There are three different sessions depending on the developmental stage of your baby and the activities, props and music for each session have been planned to suit your baby’s growing needs.

Repetition, rhythm and challenge

Each week we ensure that there are rhythms and routines to each session as we know that children thrive in these environments. All 3 of the sessions have routines at their core as we sing the welcome song and get children’s vestibular systems working through bouncy songs. Equally, we ensure that there is a section of each class (especially for babies from sitting upwards) where children are challenged to use their growing cognitive skills. Whether it is making a cake for a visiting puppet character or finding sea creatures hiding under the water, parents are actively engaged in their child’s learning and progression.

Staged performances

As we invite children and parents to join us in our imaginary world, we take them on a journey into magical lands full of exciting people and creatures. People entering Baby Land will see our familiar setting laid out each week and children learn to look for surprises hidden under the sunshine or amongst the grass. Parents and their children feel as though they are taking part in a mini-production each week as they are guided from one activity to the next with a reassuring narrative.

Enchanting props

Each session is themed and there are engaging props which accompany each theme. Props can include dress up items, real-life artefacts, sensory objects or lighting effects. One day you may be dressed as a duck and diving under the water to reach the rainbow shining through. Other days you may find yourself going into space with the teds wearing your astronaut’s communication headset whilst encountering alien life forms. Props are specially selected for their sensory value and it may be that the hair brush or bath sponge is the most enthralling thing a young child can be presented with.

Bespoke music

Hartbeeps has been designed by experts in the field of child development and entertainment and every track is written according to extensive research. We use a combination of age-old nursery rhymes (usually with a Hartbeeps twist) and specially written vocals to accompany activities that we take part in. For nostalgia’s sake we also include some well known theme tunes from the 80’s and 90’s for us to boogie on down to. After all, parents need to enjoy themselves too!

Passion 

Hartbeeps Brighton is run by Laura Carpenter who is a mother of one and a Primary School teacher. She became part of the Hartbeeps team purely due to the passion that she felt for the classes and what they achieved for parents and children. She feels strongly that the classes offer a fantastic opportunity for children to explore the world around them and make new discoveries and developments. She also appreciates the aspect of Hartbeeps which allows parents to relax and enjoy time with their children. Laura will be the one curled up like a sleeping bunny or following that child into the corner to show them an exciting prop. Hartbeeps is all about the passion for discovery and every child has that within them.
