When it comes to pregnancy, every moment is precious. From the first flutter of movement to the anticipation of meeting your little one, expectant parents want the best care and reassurance possible. Here at Take A Peek, we understand how important these moments are. With over 60 years of combined NHS experience, we provide a family-friendly, professional service that supports you throughout your pregnancy journey. Choosing private baby scans offers many advantages that can make this special time even more memorable and stress-free.
Why Choose Private Scans? The Benefits of Private Scans
Private baby scans offer a range of benefits that go beyond what you might expect from standard NHS scans. One of the key advantages is the personalised care and attention you receive. At Take A Peek, we pride ourselves on creating a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable and supported.
Some of the main benefits include:
Flexible appointment times that fit around your schedule, including evenings and weekends.
Longer scan sessions allowing you to see your baby in more detail and ask questions.
Access to advanced technology such as 4D scans, which provide stunning, real-time images of your baby.
Gender reveal options that add excitement and fun to your pregnancy experience.
Early pregnancy scans to confirm your pregnancy and check your baby’s development sooner than NHS routine scans.
These benefits mean you can enjoy a more relaxed and informative experience, helping to reduce anxiety and build a stronger connection with your baby.

Personalised Care and Professional Expertise
One of the standout benefits of private baby scans is the personalised care you receive. At Take A Peek, our team has over six decades of combined experience working in the NHS, so you can trust that you are in expert hands. We are also CQC rated GOOD, which means our services meet high standards of safety and quality.
During your scan, you will have the undivided attention of a qualified sonographer who will explain what you are seeing and answer any questions you have. This one-on-one approach helps you feel reassured and informed every step of the way.
We also offer a full range of scans, from early pregnancy checks to detailed pelvic scans and NIPT blood tests. This comprehensive service means you can access everything you need in one place, making your journey smoother and more convenient.
Early Pregnancy Scans and Peace of Mind
Waiting for your first NHS scan can sometimes feel like a long time, especially if you are anxious about your pregnancy. Private early pregnancy scans provide peace of mind by confirming your pregnancy and checking your baby’s heartbeat as early as 6 weeks.
This early reassurance can be invaluable, especially if you have experienced previous pregnancy complications or simply want to see your baby sooner. Early scans can also help identify any potential issues early on, allowing for timely medical advice and support.
At Take A Peek, we offer early pregnancy scans in a calm, friendly environment where you can relax and enjoy this special moment.

Gender Reveal and 4D Scans - Making Memories Last
One of the most exciting parts of pregnancy is discovering your baby’s gender. Private scans offer the option of gender reveal scans, which can be a joyful and memorable experience for you and your family. Unlike NHS scans, which focus primarily on medical information, private gender scans are designed to be fun and celebratory.
In addition, 4D scans provide a unique opportunity to see your baby moving in real time with incredible detail. You can watch your baby yawn, stretch, or even smile, creating lasting memories that you can share with loved ones.
These scans also make fantastic keepsakes, with high-quality images and videos that you can treasure forever.
Convenience and Comfort at Our Clinic
Choosing private scans means you can enjoy a more comfortable and convenient experience. At Take A Peek, our clinic is designed with families in mind. We offer a welcoming atmosphere where you can bring your partner, family members, or friends to share in the joy of your scan.
Our flexible appointment times mean you don’t have to rearrange your entire day to fit in a scan. We understand that life is busy, so we work around your schedule to make the process as easy as possible.
Additionally, our clinic is equipped with the latest ultrasound technology, ensuring you receive the best possible images and information.
Supporting Your Pelvic Health and Fertility Needs
Beyond baby scans, we also provide private pelvic scans and NIPT blood tests. Pelvic scans are essential for assessing reproductive health and can be particularly helpful for those experiencing fertility challenges or pelvic pain.
Our private pelvic scans offer detailed imaging and professional interpretation, helping you understand your health better and make informed decisions about your care.
NIPT blood tests are another valuable service we offer, providing non-invasive prenatal testing to screen for chromosomal conditions early in pregnancy. This test is highly accurate and can be done from 10 weeks gestation.
By offering these additional services, we support your overall reproductive health and pregnancy journey in a comprehensive way.
