Hi I'm Hayley Jepson,

Hi and welcome to Tappy Toes Norwich. Thank you for visiting my page.

I would like to start by saying I am absolutely thrilled to work with such an amazing provider and on a personal note, to work alongside my dear cousin, whom I have shared many happy childhood memories with and been fortunate to watch Claire’s many successes in life. I am so proud to be given this wonderful opportunity to build and grow the Norwich area.

My fond childhood memory of Claire, is watching her perform as a backing dancer on top of the pops!

I grew up in Essex and as my family grew, my husband and I made the leap to move to Norwich in 2014 for a greener life and to be near the coast for our growing family.

Having, 4 children of my own, we have enjoyed many dance, messy play and baby sensory/massage classes however, it was sometimes a struggle to find a group where my youngest son could be himself and relax/settle. I plan to bring some SEND specific classes to Norwich to cater for these children, as well as our original Tappy Toes classes.

My background includes, currently working as an Associate Occupational Therapist part-time alongside my Tappy Toes classes.

I previously worked for Headway, a local brain injury charity, having also 22 years experience working in the NHS.

I have experience as an OT working with both adult and children and am able to transfer my knowledge about child development, (cognitive and social/communication needs). My personal life experiences due to my own children having varying developmental needs, will set me in good stead to engage the children attending my Tappy Toes classes.

As a child, I grew up dancing and doing Majorettes, which I absolutely loved and almost ended up competing in! I was also a keen trampolinist and an RAF cadet.

I can’t wait to dance with you!
