About this class
Hartbeeps at The Musical Museum in Brentford runs on Mondays. The classes are led by Abi Hardesty, the local Hartbeeps franchisee for the Middlesex area, who also teaches in Teddington, St Margarets, Whitton, Richmond, Twickenham, and Hampton. The Musical Museum venue opened for booking from January 2026, with classes starting from 23rd February 2026.
Hartbeeps runs four programmes matched to your child's developmental stage rather than a strict age cut-off. Newborns join Baby Loves Massage — a small-group session built around gentle, guided massage using an original Hartbeeps soundtrack. Baby Bells (roughly 8 weeks to sitting sturdily, around 7 months) introduces baby yoga, tummy time, and calming techniques in a gentle journey through an imaginary Baby Land, complete with puppet characters and sparkly parachutes. Baby Beeps (sitting through to around 20 months) steps up the energy: big sensory props, baby signing rooted in BSL-inspired signs, dressing-up, and a quiet-time light show to close. Happy House (20 months to 4 years) takes toddlers on a different sound journey every week with Dexter Cat and Adrian Mouse — music, drama, counting, and creative play.
Every session lasts 45 minutes. All classes share the same sensory core: Hartbeeps' original music (remixed nursery rhymes, raps, claps, and rhythm rhymes), lighting effects, puppetry, and a wide range of props. They all end with a calming-down period — dimmed curtains, light-up stars, pillows, blankets, feathers, and ambient scent. Shoes come off during class; for young babies a babygrow is a practical choice as it avoids restricting movement during the physical elements. The programmes are designed in line with the EYFS, and all Hartbeeps teachers hold DBS checks and public liability cover of up to £5,000,000.

Common questions
Which age groups do the Monday Brentford classes cover?
Hartbeeps programmes span newborn to around four years old. Baby Loves Massage is for the youngest babies; Baby Bells suits roughly 8 weeks to 7 months; Baby Beeps covers the sitting-to-toddling stage (approximately 7 to 20 months); and Happy House is for confident walkers up to pre-schoolers and their younger siblings (20 months to 4 years). Programmes are built around developmental stage rather than a strict age cut-off, so if you're unsure which fits your child, Abi Hardesty can advise.
Is there a trial session available?
Some Hartbeeps venues offer a half-price taster for a first class; others offer free trials for new customers. Contact Abi directly — email abi@hartbeeps.com or call 07766 557590 — to confirm what's available at The Musical Museum.
How do I book?
Booking for the Brentford Monday classes is online via the Hartbeeps website: go to classes, then scroll through venues and days to find The Musical Museum. Places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and pre-payment is recommended to secure your spot. The main booking structure is half-term blocks (usually around 7 weeks), though pay-as-you-go spaces are also available in most classes.
What should we bring, and how should my baby be dressed?
Shoes are off during class. For young babies, a babygrow avoids restricting movement during the physical parts of the session. Siblings under 12 months can attend for free on the basis that they share props and blankets with their older sibling; if you'd like them to have their own props, blankets, and dressing-up items, you book them their own toadstool — the Hartbeeps term for a participant's place in the class.
What happens in a 45-minute session?
The shape varies by programme, but all classes share the same Hartbeeps DNA: original music — remixed nursery rhymes, raps, and rhythm rhymes — puppets, lighting effects, and a wide range of sensory props. Baby Bells weaves in massage, baby yoga, and tummy time; Baby Beeps adds baby signing, dressing up, and a bouncy interactive stretch; Happy House builds imaginative storytelling, music, drama, and movement around a different theme each week. Every session closes with a quiet calming-down period — light-up stars, soft blankets, and ambient scent.
