Private Baby Scans for Heaton Families
Fifteen minutes across from Chillingham Road, with somewhere to actually park when you arrive. A lot of NE6 families come to us for the room as much as the scan.
Numi Scan Gosforth serves Heaton from Unit 13, The Stottie Shed, Bakers Yard on Christon Road, a CQC-regulated clinic rated 5.0 across 222 Google reviews. Scans run from £65, every one is self-referral so no GP letter is needed, and most appointments are available within 24 to 48 hours. Mum plus up to 9 guests are welcome in the room, and there is £1 off-street parking at the door.
Getting here from Heaton
Car
Across via Jesmond Road or the Coast Road and up the Great North Road, generally fifteen minutes. Off-street parking at Bakers Yard, £1 for up to three hours.
Metro
Chillingham Road to Regent Centre involves a change at Monument or South Gosforth depending on the service — around 25 minutes door to door.
Bus
Services from Heaton connect to the Great North Road corridor, stopping a few minutes from Christon Road.
Heaton is Tyneside flat country — those distinctive two-door terraces with one flat upstairs and one down. They are wonderful first homes and they are almost universally short on space, which is the practical reason so many Heaton parents tell us they wanted somewhere the whole family could gather for the scan rather than crowding into a small consulting room.
Why Heaton families choose us
Most Heaton families we see are booking a 4D scan with people in tow: partner, both sets of grandparents, sometimes an older sibling who has been promised they can watch. Our room takes Mum plus nine, seated, with the scan on two 46-inch screens and a projector wall. That is the single most common reason people tell us they travelled past somewhere closer.
Heaton comes under Newcastle Hospitals, so NHS scans are at the RVI. Between the 20-week anomaly scan and birth the NHS does not scan routinely, which is the window our wellbeing and growth scans are built for.
If you would rather read what other local families made of it, our reviews page pulls them straight from Google, unedited.
