Baby Keepsake Franchise Opportunity in Birmingham

Why Birmingham Central and South

Birmingham's sheer scale sets it apart. With over 1.1 million residents in the city proper and a catchment that stretches into Solihull's affluent suburbs, a Memory Catcher here has access to the largest addressable baby market outside London. The data doesn't just support this region, it demands it be filled first.

The family communities across South Birmingham are exactly where a Memory Catcher thrives. From the leafy streets of Moseley and Kings Heath, where independent coffee shops double as parenting hubs, to the professional families settling in Edgbaston and Harborne, this is a city full of parents who value quality, craftsmanship, and meaningful keepsakes. Solihull to the south adds a premium pocket where average order values run higher.

The baby class scene in Birmingham is well established and growing. Baby Sensory runs classes across West Birmingham, the Bump and Baby Club operates popular antenatal sessions in Moseley, and the Birth and Baby Club covers the wider area with both in-person and online classes. NCT groups are active across the city and multiple independent sensory, massage, and development classes run weekly from community centres, church halls, and family hubs throughout the region.

Birmingham's baby class network is thriving and well connected. Class leaders across the city already know the value of partnering with trusted local businesses, and the community infrastructure here means you won't be starting cold. You'll be stepping into a city that's ready for a Memory Catcher.

Everything else - editing the prints into beautiful artwork, creating proofs, liaising with customers, foil printing using our exclusive Foil Fusion Technology™, framing, packaging, and shipping - is handled entirely by us.

You focus on the smiles and the connections. We take care of the rest.

What You Could Earn

Real numbers from a real business

These figures are based on our founder Ashley's own verified data - averaging £237 per class visit over three years of attending baby classes, whilst simultaneously running the entire business and raising two boys.

As a Memory Catcher, your only job is the bit Ashley squeezes into her spare hours. You'd have the time and focus to do significantly more.

Part-Time

~10-15 hours per week

Regular sessions around school hours. A genuine income that fits around family life. Your 40% share: £1,650-£2,450 per month / £19,700-£29,500 per year.

Full-Time

~15-22 hours per week

Building your presence with multiple sessions and exploring new opportunities - nurseries, private bookings, local events. Your 40% share: £2,450-£3,600 per month / £29,500-£43,400 per year.

Scale

~22-30 hours per week

For the ambitious. Going all in with multiple sessions daily, private bookings, events, and partnerships. This is a serious income stream. Your 40% share: £3,600-£4,900 per month / £43,400-£59,000 per year.

These hours include everything - travel, setup, the session itself. And "sessions" doesn't just mean baby classes. Creative Memory Catchers build relationships with nurseries, book private home visits, attend craft fairs, and find opportunities we haven't even thought of yet. The more creative you are, the more you can earn.

All of this fits around school hours. Sessions typically run from 9.30am to around 2pm - perfect for drop-off and pick-up. Evenings and weekends are entirely optional.

And unlike most flexible work, this isn't a ceiling. Birmingham Central and South's population and community culture mean there's genuine room to grow beyond even these numbers if you want to.

Who We're Looking For

Is this you?

We're not looking for salespeople. We're looking for genuine, warm, community-minded people who love connecting with families.

You might be a brilliant Memory Catcher if you:

Love being around babies and new parents (obviously)
Want flexible work that fits around family life
Are naturally warm and approachable - the kind of person people open up to
Care about doing something meaningful, not just earning a wage
Are self-motivated and comfortable building your own presence locally
Live in or near Birmingham Central and South and know the community

You don't need:

Sales experience (you're not selling, you're helping families preserve memories)
Business experience (we provide the model, the training, and the support)
Design or creative skills (we handle all the production)

What you do need is heart. The ability to walk into a room full of new parents and make them feel at ease. The kind of warmth that makes someone trust you with their baby's tiny hand for five minutes. That's it.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
