Absolutely! We are a family-friendly studio and we welcome you and your families to enjoy your scan experience.

Firstly, we advise you to speak with your midwife regarding this as they are often able to help determine your potential dates. However, where there is still uncertainty, we recommend you only come for a scan 3 weeks AFTER a positive pregnancy test.

We cannot scan anyone under the age of 16 for legal reasons. If you are aged 16-18 you will need a responsible adult present. We cannot scan anyone who is 16 or 17 years old without a responsible adult.

Yes! We stock a range of heartbeat bears and you can purchase these from 14+ weeks. They are priced £30 and include your baby's heartbeat for you to treasure. Just let us know on the day of your scan if you would like one (subject to availability). These are available to view in the scan room.

Please read your scan package description. This details what is included in your chosen package, induing the scan time and photos.

Absolutely! We only employ HCPC registered sonographers. This means you can be assured you are getting the best quality professional service, and should any problems be identified during your scan, you will be informed and referred onto the appropriate service.

Yes it is ☺️ In a nutshell- there has been no evidence to date to suggest ultrasound is unsafe for you or your baby. At Tiny Toes Scan Studio, we work strictly according to British Medical Ultrasound Society guidelines (BMUS) and as our sonographer's are fully qualified and experienced, you can be assured that they will put you and your baby's safety first at all times.

You will receive your printed images immediately after the scan in one of our presentation folders to take away with you. We will then send you your digital images (and videos if included in your package) and you will receive these within 1 hour of your appointment. This allows us to post-process your images and enhance the overall quality.

We are only a small scan studio and therefore we allow you to bring 3 guests along with you. If you would like to bring additional guests please email us before booking so we can make adjustments to accommodate your request. This may incur an additional fee.

Yes of course!!! Just let us know at the scan appointment and we will ensure total secrecy. 🤐 Our sonographer will ask you to look away when doing checks of baby near the bottom as we always conduct a basic wellbeing check of baby- this includes checking the baby's bladder.

For all scans it is advised to attend with a full bladder. You don't need to do anything else to prepare.

Please refer to your chosen scan package, as this will detail the scan length time. This varies depending upon the package you have selected - but don't worry we do not rush you! We care about your experience and don't believe in a conveyer-belt system for our patients! We are mums too, and we understand the importance of these scans ☺️

Whislt we will try our best to ensure you leave with some amazing photos, this is highly dependant on numerous factors. Having a high BMI (above average bodyweight) will degrade the resultant image quality. In addition, the position of baby, or the placenta can also impact image quality. We may get you to empty your bladder, or get moving to get baby in a better position. If you attend for an early scan and you are less than 7 weeks, you may have sub-optimal images of baby. Please wait 3 weeks following a positive test to ensure best chance of good quality images. Some of our packages do include a FREE re-scan if you leave with sub-optimal images. Please refer to your chosen package to check if this is included.

The best time to have 4D scan is between 26 - 30 weeks. If you have an anterior placenta, please book between 26-28 weeks as this affects the 4D quality. 4D is highly dependant on the position of your baby, the fluid around baby and the placenta/BMI. Remember, the larger baby is, the less clear the images are so please don't leave it until the last few weeks as it is highly unlikely you will get clear views of baby's face.

Yes we do! We sell: Canons - smoke and confetti Smoke grenades Scratch Cards Gender reveal heartbeat bears (in a box) Or we can simply pop the gender into an envelope for you

Occasionally, we may find something unexpected at your scan. Our sonographers are fully qualified and will explain the scan in detail including any suspicious findings. You will be referred onto the relevant service for follow up and given a detailed report. It is imperative you attend your NHS scans as the purpose of these is to detect any possible problems with your pregnancy. We are not always able to see every abnormality- some abnormalities may only become apparent at a later date.

Please don't worry - we will always try our best to accommodate you on the day- though this is not guaranteed so allow plenty of time for travel. We may ask you to come back on that day during a gap - or rebook for another day (excluding weekends). Our waiting room is only small, so to ensure comfort for our other patients and families, we will ask you to come back at a specific time. You won't be able to wait in our waiting room due to other appointments and to reduce overcrowding.

At Tiny Toes Scan Studio we strive to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience. Should this fall below our expected standards, please raise this on the day. If you feel you are not able to do so, please email us at tinytoes-scanstudio@outlook.com. We take any complaints seriously and will aim to respond within 48 hours.

Yes of course!! All we ask is that you respectively do not record our sonogrpaher. We will ask you to record the TV screen 😊 We do not charge you anything additional to record your scan- however we do take you some videos on the day that will be sent to you so you don't have to worry about missing that smile, or little wave. We have you covered so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the scan.
