About this class
Hartbeeps Chiltern brings its full programme to Warners End Community Centre every Tuesday during term time, with three back-to-back classes running from 9:30am through to lunchtime. The franchise is run by Caroline, who has been involved with Hartbeeps for around twelve years, and Hollie — who has a performance background and looks after the Hemel Hempstead sessions while also attending with her own children. Each class is capped at twelve participants.
The Tuesday line-up moves through the age groups in sequence. Happy House (9:30–10:15) is for confident walkers up to pre-schoolers and their younger siblings — roughly 20 months to four years. Dexter Cat and Adrian Mouse set a different scene every week, and children build a story through music, movement, drama, and creative play. Baby Beeps (10:45–11:30) is the high-energy slot for sitting babies through to early toddlers (approximately 7 to 20 months): bouncy original music, BSL-inspired baby signing, hundreds of sensory props, dress-up fun, and the signature Hartbeeps lightshow as the session winds down. Baby Bells (12:15–13:00) is the gentlest of the three, for babies from around eight weeks old up to sitting sturdily at about seven months. Sessions draw on elements of baby massage, baby yoga, and tummy time, guiding newcomers through an imaginary Baby Land with sparkly parachutes, puppet friends, and soft props.
All three class types run to Hartbeeps' own original music — remixed nursery rhymes, cool tunes, raps, and rhythm rhymes — with puppets, lighting effects, and multi-sensory props throughout. Every session ends with a deliberate calming-down period: dimmed curtains, light-up stars, pillows, blankets, and feathers. The venue has a car park behind the building, buggy parking, baby-change facilities, disabled access, and public transport links. Blocks are £54 per term, booked in advance, with a 50% sibling rate for a second child in the same class. Siblings under 12 months attend free, sharing props with an older sibling; if you would like them to have their own props and dressing-up kit, book them a toadstool.

Common questions
Which classes run at Warners End Community Centre, and when?
Three Hartbeeps classes run here every Tuesday during term time: Happy House at 9:30–10:15 (confident walkers to pre-schoolers, roughly 20 months to 4 years), Baby Beeps at 10:45–11:30 (sitting babies to early toddlers, approximately 7–20 months), and Baby Bells at 12:15 (newborns to around 7 months). Each class is 45 minutes. Note that the Baby Bells listing shows a 12:15 start — confirm the exact finish time with Hartbeeps Chiltern when booking.
How do I book, and what does it cost?
Places are booked and paid in advance for a half-term block, usually around seven weeks. The block price at this venue is £54. Booking is first-come, first-served and pre-payment secures your place. Pay-as-you-go spaces are available when places remain. Contact Hartbeeps Chiltern on 07970 719803 or via @hartbeepschiltern on Facebook and Instagram.
Is there a trial session?
Some Hartbeeps venues offer a half-price trial for a first class. Ask Hartbeeps Chiltern directly to confirm whether that applies here before paying for a full term.
What should we wear and bring?
Shoes come off during every class, so socks or easy slip-ons make sense for carers. For babies, a baby grow is recommended so nothing restricts movement during yoga, tummy time, or the active parts of the session. Siblings under 12 months attend free on the basis that they share their older sibling's props, blankets, and dressing-up kit; if you would like your younger child to have their own set, book them a toadstool — Hartbeeps' term for a participant's own place in the class.
What actually happens during a session?
Each class is built around Hartbeeps' own original music — remixed nursery rhymes, raps, claps, and rhythm rhymes — with puppets, lighting effects, and a different theme every week. Baby Bells weaves in baby massage, baby yoga, and tummy time for the youngest babies. Baby Beeps adds BSL-inspired baby signing, bouncy interactive play, and hundreds of sensory props for sitting babies and early toddlers. Happy House brings imaginative storytelling, movement, and creative play with Dexter Cat and Adrian Mouse for walkers up to pre-school age. Baby Beeps sessions close with a quiet calming-down period: dimmed curtains, light-up stars, pillows, blankets, and feathers.
