About this class
Hartbeeps holds two Thursday morning sessions at Weston Turville Village Hall on School Approach. Baby Beeps starts at 11:00 and Baby Bells at 12:15, with each session running for 45 minutes. The hall sits right beside the village school, with a large car park, a café, and a playground round the back — practical extras that are worth knowing before you plan your morning.
Baby Bells is designed for the youngest babies. Newborns are welcome, and the class continues until a baby is sitting unaided — from around 8 weeks to approximately 7 months. Sessions are gentle and unhurried, weaving together baby massage, baby yoga, tummy time, and calming techniques. Little ones are guided through an imaginary Baby Land with friendly puppet characters, sparkly parachutes, and age-appropriate sensory props. Building confidence in handling, movement, and settling is woven through the whole 45 minutes, not tacked on.
Baby Beeps shifts register entirely. Aimed at babies who can sit sturdily through to those beginning to walk confidently — roughly 7 to 20 months — it is a highly interactive, bouncy 45-minute sensory class. Expect original remixed nursery rhymes, BSL-inspired baby signing, dress-up, hundreds of sensory props, and larger-than-life puppet characters. Both classes wind down the same way: the lights dim, a quiet lightshow plays, and pillows and blankets appear for a deliberate calming-down period before the session ends. Every week follows a different theme, so the content stays fresh across a full term block of six.
Hartbeeps Chilterns is led by Caroline Woolnough. The teaching team also includes Zara, who first came to the classes as a parent and brings a background in West End performance to the sessions.

Common questions
Which class suits my baby's stage?
Baby Bells is for newborns from around 8 weeks until they are sitting unaided — typically up to about 7 months. Baby Beeps picks up from sitting sturdily through to confident walking, broadly 7 to 20 months. Hartbeeps works to developmental stage rather than strict age, because every baby moves through these milestones at a different pace.
How do I book, and can I just turn up?
Classes must be booked in advance — there are no drop-ins at Weston Turville Village Hall. Sessions run in term-time blocks of six following school holidays. Book via hartbeeps.com/chilterns/classes or contact Caroline directly at caroline@hartbeeps.com. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
What does a 45-minute session actually look like?
The content varies by class. Baby Bells weaves baby massage, baby yoga, tummy time, and calming techniques into a gentle journey through Hartbeeps' imaginary Baby Land, with puppets, sparkly parachutes, and sensory props throughout. Baby Beeps is considerably more energetic: original remixed nursery rhymes, BSL-inspired baby signing, dress-up, and a cast of larger-than-life puppet characters, all followed by a deliberate quiet-time wind-down with a lightshow, pillows, and blankets. All classes use Hartbeeps' own original music and follow a different weekly theme across the term.
What should we wear?
Shoes come off during class for everyone. For Baby Bells specifically, a baby grow is recommended to avoid restricting movement during the massage and yoga elements.
What if we miss a session or need to cancel?
If you cancel at least one week before the block begins, you can receive a refund minus a £5.00 administration fee. Once the block is under way, missed sessions due to illness or holidays cannot be refunded, transferred, or rolled over to the next course. If Hartbeeps has to cancel or move a session and you cannot attend the rearranged time, a pro-rata credit is applied instead.
