About this class
Three Hartbeeps classes run back-to-back every Wednesday morning at Pewsham Community Centre, so you can pick the slot that fits your child's stage without rearranging your whole week. Happy House (10:00–10:45) welcomes confident walkers through to pre-schoolers and their younger siblings up to four years old. Baby Beeps (11:00–11:45) is built for sitting babies through to toddlers in the 8–18-month window. Baby Bells (12:00–12:45) is the calmest of the three — designed for babies from around one month to eight months, with a focus on bonding, baby massage, baby yoga, and tummy time. All three are led by Sadie Ditchburn, the Hartbeeps North Wiltshire franchise owner.
Each 45-minute session uses Hartbeeps' original music alongside lighting effects, puppetry, and a changing array of sensory props to fill the community centre hall with colour and movement. Baby Bells guides young babies through an imaginary Baby Land using gentle massage, yoga, and calming techniques. Baby Beeps turns up the energy: bouncy and interactive, it brings in baby signing (drawing on BSL-inspired signs), hundreds of sensory props, dress-up, and a quieter wind-down lightshow to close. Happy House takes toddlers on a different sound journey each week alongside characters Dexter Cat and Adrian Mouse, weaving in music, drama, creative play, and dance to build language, rhythm, counting, and imaginative play.
All classes follow Hartbeeps' age-and-stage approach rather than fixed cut-offs — a practical detail if your child is on the cusp of moving between classes. Sessions run term time only. All Hartbeeps Imaginators hold DBS checks and public liability insurance to £5,000,000, and the programme is designed in line with the EYFS curriculum.

Common questions
Which class suits my child's age?
Baby Bells is for babies from around 1 to 8 months; Baby Beeps covers 8 to 18 months; Happy House runs from 18 months up to 4 years and welcomes younger siblings too. Hartbeeps works on a developmental-stage model rather than strict age bands, so if your child is on the cusp, Sadie Ditchburn (sadie@hartbeeps.com) can help you find the right fit.
What day and time do classes run?
All three classes run on Wednesdays at Pewsham Community Centre, Lodge Road, Chippenham, SN15 3SY: Happy House at 10:00–10:45, Baby Beeps at 11:00–11:45, and Baby Bells at 12:00–12:45. All are term time only.
How much does it cost and how do I book?
Term bookings are £7 per child per class, paid in advance. Pay-as-you-go places are £8.50 per class and can be booked up to one week ahead. Places are allocated first-come, first-served. A 50% sibling rate applies for siblings attending the same class; siblings under 12 months attend free on the basis that they share props and blankets with an older sibling — if you want them to have their own set, you can book them their own toadstool (the Hartbeeps term for a participant's spot). To book or enquire, contact Sadie at sadie@hartbeeps.com.
What should we wear and bring?
Shoes come off during class. A babygrow works well for young babies as it keeps movement unrestricted during the physical parts of the session. Props, parachutes, puppets, and blankets are all part of the Hartbeeps setup.
What actually happens in a session?
Sessions last 45 minutes and are set to Hartbeeps' own original music — remixed nursery rhymes, raps, claps, and rhythm rhymes. Depending on the class, you can expect a mix of baby massage and yoga, baby signing, sensory props, puppets, lighting effects, bubbles, dressing up, and sparkly parachutes, with a different theme each week. Every session ends with a calming-down period: curtains dimmed, light-up stars, pillows, blankets, feathers, and ambient scent.
