We are passionate about providing a wonderful experience for you and your family, but the health and well-being of your baby will always be fundamental to our care. Unfortunately, the private ultrasound sector is unregulated, and many practitioners claim to be sonographers without formal qualifications. That’s why we guarantee that you will only ever be scanned by a medical professional with proven ultrasound qualifications and extensive NHS diagnostic experience.
City centre location
We are located in the heart of Colchester city centre, with excellent transport links and a multitude of multistorey car parks close by. Our location offers the added benefit of having an abundance of local shops and restaurants in close proximity, ensuring that attending your scan appointment can be combined with a day out for all the family to enjoy.
Safe hands
We want you to have confidence in our abilities. Our founder and lead sonographer is:
Qualified in medical ultrasound, obstetrics and gynaecology
Qualified in midwifery
Experienced in NHS diagnostic ultrasound (10+ years)
Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
Fetal Medicine Foundation accredited
A member of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ISUOG)
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
Committed to continued professional development
Excellent links to the local hospital
Our sonographers continue to work at the local NHS trust, which is why we have genuine links with the maternity and ultrasound services, with robust referral pathways in place. Although all our scans are non-diagnostic, on the rare occurrence that your scan identifies any issues, we will ensure that (with your consent) you will be referred to the most appropriate practitioner directly. This may be your midwife, GP, antenatal consultant, maternity triage, early pregnancy unit, A&E or the local fetal medicine department.
Longer appointment times
All our standard appointments are a minimum of 20 minutes long*. This ensures that you are not rushed and have at least 20 dedicated minutes with our highly experienced midwife sonographer, who will talk you through the scan and answer any questions.
*Please note that the standard 20-minute appointment time excludes our 2D Tuesday and 4D Friday special offers. These appointments are 15 minutes long.
Top of the range ultrasound technology
Image quality is just as important to us as it is for you. We have invested a significant amount into state-of-the-art scanning facilities so we can offer you a remarkable insight into the world of your little one at every stage of your pregnancy.
Affordable packages
We offer simple and affordable ultrasound packages for all to enjoy, with fetal well-being checks as standard. Though we recommend booking our scans in advance, we also welcome and accept walk in appointments.
No extra cost for twins
We love scanning twins and recognise that having two children at the same time usually comes with double the cost! This is why we will never charge you extra for growing two babies, or three, or four. If you already know that you are pregnant with twins, please inform us at the time of your booking. This is to ensure that we can allocate you extra time during your appointment.

Just been there yesterday for an early scan and honestly Emma was so lovely and gave us the most amazing news! The lady at the entrance was so nice too and they were all so lovely to my other 3 little children who came with us. Would definitely go there again!!

After leaving another local ultrasound clinic with incosistent information and anxiety through the roof, we decided to visit Emma who we have now seen twice at Little Peek. Emma has been so professional and reassuring during our early scans, Emma has also provided us with accurate information.
We will definitely be visiting throughout our pregnancy, wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you

We have visited Little Peek twice now during our twin pregnancy. Each time Emma has made us feel at ease, explained everything in detail to us, and answered all of our questions. The clinic is lovely and calming and the team are really friendly. We will be returning for a 4D scan in the future and would definitely recommend visiting here to see your baby.

we went for a private scan so that our daughter could see the baby as she's not allowed in for NHS scans. Emma who did our scan was reassuring, friendly and we're planning on going back for an early gender scan ☺️
the clinic is warm and welcoming, very clean and cozy
plus the gel was warm, what more could you want?!

We have been for several scans at Little Peek and each scan is worth every single penny. Every scan we have had Emma makes us feel so comfortable and at ease and she truly enjoys being on the journey with you as a customer which you don’t find at other private scan clinics, it’s such a memorable and special experience. I would recommend Little Peek to any expecting mummy’s to be and their families and we can’t wait to go back already, you’re filled with so much confidence and happiness walking out of this place and that is all down to Emma and the team. Thank you x

I’ve had 2 scans with Emma and both times have been such a lovely and amazing experience🩷I had a reassurance scan at 6 weeks and a gender scan at 15 weeks. I was given clear images and photos of my baby and Emma really took the time to talk through everything and details and showing me every inch of my baby. She didn’t rush a thing and Even tho I have a very active baby she was still so patient😂 it was just such a nice and calm experience with her! I can’t wait to go back for more scans and my 4d one soon. Couldn’t recommend her enough. If you wanting to go for a private scan don’t go anywhere other than here because you can tell she loves and cares for her job and clients🩷

We have been to Emma at Little Peek twice now, once for a gender reveal and again for a reassurance scan. Emma and team are incredibly welcoming and make sure you're as comfortable as possible.
Emma takes her time with the scans and explains everything you're looking at in great detail. You can really tell how much she loves her job and you leave feeling reassured and excited for what is to come.
Emma and team provide a really beautiful experience.
