About us
We are here to support you at our Cheshire clinic
We are Caroline Tunley and Katherine Williams the founders and owners of Serenity Baby Clinic, Cheshire. We are both experienced senior neonatal nurses, with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in our specialist nursing area of the intensive care of the neonate. Together we have worked hard to create a service where our passion for providing outstanding family centred care, along with our newborn expertise, is used to support parents from the beginning of their parenting journey, to become confident in all aspects of caring for their baby. We’ve brought in some specialist trusted practitioners along the way so we can fully support all of your needs.
Speaking to parents we recognised that support services are lacking for parents in the early weeks with their newborn, leading to parents’ not knowing who to turn to for support, and their mental health declining and families suffering in the long term as a result. We knew we could change this, so we have drawn upon on our skills, expertise, and the FiCare model, combined with our knowledge, dedication, and teamwork leading to the creation of the Serenity Baby Clinic. We named our service ‘Serenity’, because we strive to support parents to be calm and have peace of mind in the chaotic, noisy world of parenting.We are pleased to offer support services for parents and families of newborn babies, in order that they step into caring for their baby feeling confident and equipped to meet baby’s needs; our ultimate aim, to reduce parental stress and anxiety, allowing them to focus on enjoying their time with their babies. The clinic offers a holistic approach to caring for your family, with antenatal classes, physical mental wellbeing support, infant feeding support & group advice and support sessions, along with a free support session monthly for NICU graduates where we support families of babies born prematurely or sick as a little nod to where we started. The clinic is based in Cheshire in the picturesque Combermere Abby Park view business complex, just outside of Nantwich. It is a short drive from Sandbach, Crewe, Stoke, Whitchurch and Shrewsbury, with a dedicated clinic room for appointments and beautiful teaching space for you to enjoy both before and after the arrival of your baby.
We look forward to welcoming you to our clinic and working alongside you to support your family at this exciting time.
We have an open door policy and we really do mean that if you need us just pop in – we are here to support you!
With love
