We loved our experience at Little Stars. The staff were so incredibly friendly and kind from start to finish. Nothing was too much and they spent a lot of time in our scan trying to capture a photo of our babies face (they were hiding!) the staff were super knowledgeable and incredibly professional. The receptionist as you walk in, was lovely! Really chatty and personable. The studio itself was lovely and clean we were offered chocolates and water on arrival!
If I could rate it higher than 5/5 I would! Lovely unforgettable experience for our gender reveal 🩷💙
Thank you so much for making it such a special experience.

*sensitive information* would not recommend.
Booked an early reassurance scan as my partner and I were over the moon about our first pregnancy and wanted to make sure everything was okay. First appointment came along everything was fine, placement of the baby was fine, however I was 2/3 weeks earlier than expected so only a yolk sac and gestational sac was seen and was told I was only 4/5 weeks, I’d booked this appointment assuming I was 7 weeks. Very kindly the team booked me in 2 weeks later for free to enable to see the baby. We went to this appointment 2 weeks later and I was measuring 6 weeks and 3 days, everything was measuring well but unfortunately they could not see a heart beat. My partner and I were extremely upset at this point as you could imagine, the sonographer and the chaperone looked frightened as if they’ve never dealt with this situation before (which was not reassuring for either of us), had no remorse for me or my partner as was told she didn’t hear a heart beat on her child until 9 weeks and was told to abort the baby up until that point, she gave me some tissue to wipe my tears and told me to get changed and they’d rebook another appointment in 5 days. Both appointments we attended were running late and had to wait over 20 minutes each time, both times no one apologised for the delay. I wasn’t happy going back to this company so booked another appointment else where 4 days later, I explained the situation to the new company and they advised me to call the early pregnancy team for advise. Explained the situation to the early pregnancy team and they told me that I should have been referred to the hospital straight after the last scan I had and I shouldn’t have been left to wait for 5 days. Unfortunately, the hospital confirmed that I had a missed miscarriage as there was no heart beat resulting in surgery. We were also told by the hospital that the yolk sac was too big and the baby was not measuring where it should be as I should have been about 8 weeks pregnant. The nurse at the hospital said that she would have been concerned at the first appointment when I was measuring at 4/5 weeks as I should have been further along going off my dates (there was no mention of any concern at little stars).
I wouldn’t personally use this company or recommend anybody else to. The lack of reassurance , compassion and empathy shown was very poor. Personally I feel that staff should to be trained on how to deal with breaking bad news. I felt like our agony was prolonged because the staff here were incompetent.

Hi Emma !
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear of your loss and understand this has been an incredibly distressing and emotional experience for both you and your partner.
We would like to address the concerns raised in your review:
1- Your first scan findings:
At your initial appointment, the scan showed a gestational sac and yolk sac, which can be normal in a very early pregnancy. Based on the measurements seen on scan, the pregnancy appeared earlier than expected. This can happen for several reasons, including later ovulation or implantation than calculated by dates alone. At approximately 4–5 weeks, it is often too early to confirm fetal heartbeat or make any definitive conclusion regarding viability, as many factors must be taken into consideration before making a diagnosis.
2- The complimentary rescan:
We offered you a complimentary rescan two weeks later to provide further reassurance and allow time for development that would hopefully provide clearer answers. This was done in good faith and with the intention of supporting you through the uncertainty.
3- Your second scan findings and reason for further rescan:
At your second appointment, we were able to see clear growth compared to your previous scan, and a fetal pole was present, which are positive developmental signs. While cardiac activity is often seen at this stage, in some cases the heartbeat can start later than expected or may not yet be clearly visible depending on fetal position, equipment, or gestational timing.
In line with our referral policy, where there is clear interval growth between scans, we do not make an immediate final diagnosis without further verification. For this reason, we offered you a further complimentary rescan within 5 days to assess for any further development and come to a clearer conclusion. This is standard practice to avoid giving incorrect or premature information, and the reason for the rescan is always explained fully in the scan room.
4- Referral to hospital / Early Pregnancy Unit:
As an independent Ultrasound scan clinic, Where viability is uncertain, our role is to refer patients to contact their GP, midwife, or local Early Pregnancy Unit for further medical management. We are sorry if this was not clearly communicated to you at the time.
5- Comments regarding the yolk sac and measurements:
Interpretation of early pregnancy scans can vary depending on equipment, scan quality, gestational development, and the clinician reviewing the images. The hospital team may have had additional clinical information and performed a diagnostic medical scan, which differs from a private reassurance scan. At 4–5 weeks, no professional can definitively confirm viability or non-viability based on one scan alone without considering multiple clinical factors.
6- Compassion and empathy shown:
We are truly sorry to hear that you felt the team lacked compassion and empathy during such a difficult moment. We respectfully do not recognise this description of the care provided, as our team always aims to support patients with compassion, empathy, and professionalism, especially in emotionally sensitive situations. We always strive to provide the best possible care and support to every patient.
7- Appointment delays:
We apologise that your appointments ran behind schedule and that this was not acknowledged at the time. Due to the nature of scanning appointments, delays can occasionally occur when patients require additional time, care, or emotional support. While we do our best to remain on schedule, patient care must always come first.
Please accept our sincere condolences once again. We are truly sorry for the heartbreak you have experienced and appreciate your feedback, which will help us review and improve our service.
We have carried out a detailed internal review of your case to ensure we fully understood all aspects before responding to your concerns.
Kind regards,
Little Stars 4D Scan

Over the last five months I have visited the clinic around 5 times for two different pregnancies with two different outcomes.
Regardless of the outcomes lesley and the team were amazing.
Not only are they lovely, they actually explain what they can see and are very professional making you feel at ease.
They are super welcoming and remember things about personal life (going on holidays / the dog / what you have been up to) which is such a lovely personal touch.
I would recommend going to this clinic, the visits have tremendously helped with my anxiety.

I visited Little Stars for an early reassurance scan at 8 weeks and had a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, the reception staff were so welcoming and made me feel at ease. The sonographer, Lesley, was incredibly professional and took the time to explain everything we were seeing, from the flicker of the heartbeat to the baby's position. It was such a relief to have everything explained so clearly during an anxious time. The images were crystal clear, and we loved being able to take home some prints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind!"
