Next Steps
Baby Sensory Franchise
Join the original musical story tellers and creators of multi-sensory play for babies and young children.
For over 20 years, Hartbeeps have been offering their ground breaking baby sensory franchise classes. They continue to lead the way innovating creative enrichment experiences for babies and their grown-ups!
Mother and Baby Support:
Hartbeeps business owners provide various classes to help mums relax and connect with their baby. The classes use the ancient art of baby massage, yoga, relaxation as well as music, story-telling and signing
Hartbeeps believe curiosity is the key to long-lasting and effective development for children in their early years. Together, they aim to nurture happy and confident children, ready to embrace the world with wide eyes, open hearts, and inquisitive minds!
When their founder, Sarah Godwin first visited music classes with her baby daughter she felt sure that much more could be done to bring classes to life. Bursting with new ideas, she set off on a mission to tap into the power of children’s imagination to develop colourful and creative multi-sensory learning experiences. Alongside writing original music scores to back sessions, Sarah also used movement, dance, storytelling, puppets, props and lighting effects to bring Hartbeeps unique interactive wonderlands to life!
