Why Choose Us?

Combining excellent levels of care with professional knowledge and ultrasound qualifications, our trusted women’s health clinic is the perfect choice for expectant parents in Colchester and beyond.

When choosing an ultrasound clinic, here’s why Little Peek Baby Ultrasound is beloved by expectant parents throughout Colchester and Essex.

Little Peek Baby Ultrasound is located in the heart of Colchester, and we support expectant parents on their pregnancy journey as well as providing reassurance to women with health services such as pelvic health scans and endometrial health assessments.

We know how confusing it can sometimes be to choose the right ultrasound provider for you. That’s why we wanted to explain what makes parents choose us time and time again for their maternity services.

Medical experience and qualifications you can trust

You want to choose an ultrasound clinic that has the medical credentials to deliver top-quality care, and we pride ourselves on providing services that are backed by years of NHS midwife and sonography experience.

You may be surprised to know that the private ultrasound sector is unregulated, which results in practitioners without qualifications carrying out scans. This isn’t the case at Little Peek. All of our sonography team are trained to the highest ultrasound standards possible, and other members of our team specialise in infant feeding and antenatal education, so we can support you throughout the full duration of your pregnancy.

Emma, our founder and lead sonographer, is also:

Qualified in medical ultrasound, midwifery, obstetrics and gynaecology
Experienced in NHS diagnostic ultrasound (10+ years)
Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), a member of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ISUOG), and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
Accredited by the Fetal Medicine Foundation

“From our very first scan at 9 weeks, we knew we had found somewhere truly special. Every appointment was such a reassuring and wonderful experience, and we were always greeted with kindness, warmth, and genuine care.”

Comprehensive appointments and follow-up information

Our appointments provide much more than just a quick ultrasound scan. Whether you’re visiting us for a 2D Reassurance Scan or an Early Gender Blood Test, you’ll be able to ask our sonographers any questions that you might have.

We make sure that everybody who visits our ultrasound health clinic leaves feeling reassured and confident. Our decades of NHS experience allow us to discuss your concerns, even if they’re outside of the type of appointment you’ve booked with us.

Beyond your appointment, our extensive medical network allows us to make direct referrals if they’re needed. In the rare instance that we identify any issues, we can connect you with a relevant specialist quickly. This could include:

Your midwife
A trusted GP
Antenatal consultants
Maternity triage
An early pregnancy unit
A&E
A local fetal medicine department

“It was my first time visiting today and I am over the moon. The staff made me and my partner feel so welcome and explained what they could see. My questions were also answered and I have come away so pleased.”

A convenient, centrally-located Colchester clinic

Our ultrasound clinic is located in the centre of Colchester, on Head Street. We’re surrounded by several accessible car parks and an abundance of shops, which are perfect for turning your visit into a full day out with friends and family.

Beyond our easy-to-access location, we also strive to make your experience as stress-free as possible. If we’re unable to get a good look at your baby during a gender scan, for example, we’ll reschedule your appointment to try again – completely free of charge.

Our clinic space has also been designed to be inviting and relaxing for expectant parents or women joining us for a health scan. Alongside a spacious, comfortable waiting area, we have a range of keepsakes and extras that you can browse before or after your appointment – making your time with us a truly memorable experience.

“Emma and the team were incredible. This is my third baby and it was a very anxious day for me. Emma’s kindness and positivity really calmed my nerves and ensured I felt really comforted throughout. I’d highly recommend Little Peek.”

Such a lovely, calm atmosphere, staff lovely and friendly. Felt very welcomed. Emma was honestly so lovely and amazing, so reassuring during this scan at our 19 weeks of pregnancy, after a few concerns over the weekend that were clarified medically in other ways, but not visually. It was wonderful to see our baby girl again, happy & healthy, full of beans! Thank you so much for explaining everything to us in great detail, we honestly left feeling so happy & relaxed!

Emma was so friendly, reassuring and thorough. She provided me with information I didn’t know prior to the scan and gave me peace of mind. I absolutely could not recommend them more, wonderful experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my partner are over the moon that we chose Little Peek for our baby scans. The service right from the front desk set a lovely, welcoming and calm environment which continued in the scan room.

Emma was extremely patient and listened to every single worry I had about this pregnancy due to past experiences. I was reassured lots and Emma made sure she communicated through every step she was doing.

Our appointments never felt rushed and to have someone so professional yet so connected to her clients needs and worries is an experience I never thought I’d be able to get.

I cannot recommend Little Peek enough, especially Emma, as she made both scans feel very special❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second visit to Little Peek Baby Ultrasound and again I am beyond happy with the service provided. Everything was explained thoroughly in detail before the scan took place. The lady that greeted us at reception was really kind and welcoming. Emma who performed the scan never disappoints. She makes the scan feel super special just now it should, and explains everything that is going on. I would recommend Little Peek to anyone who is looking for early reassurance scans, gender scans, or simply just to see their baby more often than the 2 scans offered by the NHS. Extremely reasonable prices with a very calm, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much Emma and team, you're all wonderful!
