Baby I Love You Limited is operated by Baby I Love You Limited. The service is a single speciality independent healthcare provider offering 2D, 3D and 4D wellbeing and growth health screening and imaging to self-funding or private people who use the services.

Baby I Love You is situated in a small ground floor business unit on the riverside of South Shields. The studio is wheelchair accessible and has designated car parking at the front of the building. People who use the services entering the unit are escorted directly into a large waiting area which opens into a scanning room, manager’s office and small staff kitchen area. The central reception has adequate seating and a reception desk with piped music. Toilets were provided for people who use the services, along a small corridor near to the front entrance.

The studio provides a screening and ultrasound scan service for people individuals aged 16 to 65 in relation to pregnancy (from seven weeks through to full term), including reassurance and gender scans, and early bonding experiences. In addition the provider offers heartbeat teddy bears and gender reveal balloons.

We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the short-announced inspection on 10 January 2019. We had to conduct a short-announced inspection because the service was only open if people who used the services required it.

To get to the heart of service users’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so we rate services’ performance against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.

Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

    Following this inspection, we told the provider that it must take some actions to comply with the regulations and that it should make other improvements, even though a regulation had not been breached, to help the service improve. We also issued the provider with one requirement notice(s) that affected the service. Details are at the end of the report.
