Beau Pro Baby is a private clinic in Goring, West Sussex and is operated by the provider Beau Pro Limited. The service provides a baby scanning service which includes early pregnancy scans and gender scans. Early pregnancy scans were from eight weeks. We inspected diagnostic imaging.
We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out an unannounced inspection on 27 November 2019.
To get to the heart of womens’ 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.
