ABOUT

OUR CLINIC

​

​

We are not providing our formal full 4D/HD scans during the current lockdown. Scan time needs to be kept to a minimum; as 4D/HD scanning can take time this is not something we feel we can offer during at this time. We are however able to show you baby in 4D/HD if they are lying in a good position at the time of the scan, as long as it does not impact on scan time, the primary purpose of the scan is the well-being of your baby.

​

We can still provide dating, early reassurance and growth scans and confirm the gender of baby from 15 weeks. 

Your partner or one person from your support bubble may attend with you. No children are permitted at this time.

​

You are still able to book your scan on our Book Now page, the available scans are listed there.

​

Here at Take A Peek we are all fully qualified, medically trained Sonographers , the primary purpose is to provide the highest quality ultrasound service in a safe, calm and caring environment.

We have strict Covid policies and procedures in place to ensure the service we offer is a safe as can be.

​

Your safety and that of our staff is our utmost priority during the coronavirus pandemic. All ultrasound scanning require close contact between you and the Sonographer, so we’ve implemented new policies, set up protective screens, and followed strict Social Distancing and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) policies at Take A Peek.  We can welcome customers in to Take A Peek in a safe and controlled environment.

​

If you, or any member of your household, have developed any coronavirus symptoms (such as a fever or cough) you must not attend your scan appointment. Please contact us to rearrange your appointment until after the transmission period (usually 10 days).

The three of us maintain the quality of our service by providing you with the sort of service we ourselves would hope to receive in the same circumstances. We all still work in the NHS to maintain our skills and keep up to date with changes in the profession.
