Claire, your Babyprints Bath and Avon specialist
Hi, I’m Claire. I opened my Babyprints franchise in 2017 and have been creating special memories for customers in the Bath, Wiltshire and Bristol areas ever since. I have created 100s of casts, each one unique and treasured by their owners. Casts can be taken at any age, from the newest to the oldest members of your family, from individual hands and feet to families joined together forever. The process is very quick and whilst generally adults and older children do as they’re told, babies can and do behave differently. I’ve had many that slept through the whole process, some who have smiled and “chatted” to me while I took their casts, and others who have needed a little more distraction and comforting!

Having been a primary school teacher for over 20 years, I have a huge amount of experience working with children. However your child reacts, my aim is to keep everyone as relaxed as possible so they’re able to enjoy the experience.

I allow an hour for appointments and most of this time will be taken up by you choosing the perfect frame and mount. I have a wide selection of styles and colours for you to choose from. The casting itself takes less than a minute for each little hand or foot and I like to allow extra time in case you need to feed or change your little one.

Appointments take place in my home, where I have a range of display frames that may help to guide your choices. Each solid wood frame and mount is made to order at our Babyprints framers in Bishops Stortford, so reliability and continuity of service and product is assured as your family grows. Even if it is years between visits. Babyprints can offer you the same high quality every time.

I also offer free standing statues, impressions, cold metal casts and a range of beautiful, solid silver hand and footprint jewellery. Our wide choice of products means you can always find the perfect gift or keepsake for any occasion, or budget, for those special people in your life.

Appointments must be booked in advance and are available Monday to Friday 9:30 – 4:00 and Saturday morning 9:30 – 12:30. Finished pieces are usually ready for collection within 4 – 6 weeks.

I look forward to creating your special memories.
