Our Maternity Nurse Service

Having a new baby is of course a joyous experience but it can also be very stressful. Getting into a routine with your new born baby is crucial to everyone’s happiness, but is not always straight forward. Feeding demands, sleepless nights and coping with the emotions of giving birth, do not make it any easier.

Of course there is a lot of advice and support available from your Midwife and Health Visitor, but no one baby is the same.

If you are having your first baby, a Maternity Nurse can be a huge reassurance, providing you with expert knowledge and guidance. If you already have other children, we all know how important it is to get off to a good start, and having a Maternity Nurse will still be an invaluable help with the additional demands of a new baby arriving in the home.

Maternity Nurses

  • Maternity Nurses are specialists in the care of newborn babies and post natal mothers.
  • They will have specific Maternity Nurse Training or experience and qualifications in childcare, paediatric nursing and midwifery.
  • They usually work 5 or 6 days a week and are happy to be on call day and night.
  • Alternatively they can work in the daytime only or just at night.
  • They will look after you and your newborn baby, helping you to recover form the birth and settling your baby into a workable routine.
  • They are usually booked shortly after your baby is born.
  • Your Maternity Nurse will advise, and be involved with feeding, bathing, changing and settling your baby to sleep, as well as helping you establish a good routine for your baby.
  • If you already have children, their skills and knowledge will be very helpful in integrating your new baby into the family.
  • Ultimately, they will reassure, listen, encourage and gently guide you through the first stages of motherhood, so that when your Maternity Nurse leaves, you are well on the way to coping confidently with your new baby.

Testimonial

Please pass on our grateful thanks to all your staff that cared for Jill. Thank you is never enough in these circumstances. We have come to know many of the girls who were so kind and generous with their time and care, without whom Jill would have had to be admitted to a hospital or home.

Dear Emily, Sarah and Trish. Thank you so much for your kind and caring attention through these past years. It is really appreciated. Mum died peacefully in her own bed, thanks to you and the Carers... the most recent of which was one of the very best carers possible. Thank you all.

Testimonial

I am writing to you to thank you for your letter and condolences. I was very impressed by the professionalism and care everyone I dealt with at Bunbury, including the two Carers that sadly never had the opportunity to look after my father. Thank you for all your help and support at what was a very difficult time for me and my father. With all good wishes.

Testimonial

Dear Emily, Our thanks to all your kind ladies who looked after my mother in her final months. Mother loved her home which she moved into as a new bride in 1938 and it is thanks to the unstinting attention, most kindly given by the Bunbury ladies, that she was able to stay there until her peaceful end. We shall always remember their cheerful diligence and care.

Testimonial

Dear Emily, I would like to thank you and your team for bringing comfort and happiness to Mum in what turned out to be a very short period of time since joining the ‘Rosy Rota’. As you know I was very apprehensive, wondering whether Mum would cope with the new situation. As it turned out your ladies brought laughter and fun back into her life ...her sparkle had returned.

Testimonial

The Family and I would like to thank all member of staff and carers of the Bunbury Agency, for the time and trouble they have taken over the past three and half years, to ensure that my parents received the care required to enable them to remain in their own home. This was their strongest desire and with your help we were able to carry out their wishes. Long may your valuable work continue for many years to come.

Testimonial

Dear Mrs Potter, Sarah & Beth. I just wanted to thank you for all your help, through good and hard times over the past six years. Not only have you never let us down, but I have felt a very real relationship with you, as though we have been working together to keep things going. This last month has been really difficult for us all, especially seeing my mother declining with increasing rapidity. My great ambition was to keep her in her own home until the end. Without your help this would not have been achieved.

Preston

Testimonial

Trish has been the most wonderful Carer for Mum and she was all that I ever wanted from someone for Mum plus a lot more. We were so blessed that she came into our lives! Every day Mum looked forward to her coming and felt so safe and secure when she was around. It is so hard to put all Trish's wonderful qualities into words, but nothing was ever too much for her and when things got hard she was always around to help and do above and beyond what we needed. She looked after us all really! When Mum was in the hospice, she still visited which gave Mum such a boost and I will never forget her kindness in sitting with Mum the night before she died so my brothers and I could go out and have something to eat. When our elderly parents need care it's hard to entrust them to strangers and I hope that there is a "Trish" for me one day! I will never forget her and I can never thank her enough for all she has done. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and for putting us in touch with such a wonderful person.

Dear Mrs Green, Thank you so much for your kind letter about my mother Sylvia. She was very well looked after by all the nice Carers you provided for her. Whilst she could be a little insensitive at times due to her dementia I believe, she certainly appreciated their company and the sensitive way they looked after her. Thank you again for all you did for her.

Testimonial

Dear Mrs Green, Thank you very much for your letter and your kind thoughts following the death of my sister. You did indeed supply three Carers for her in September and October. We were very happy with Margaret and Alex was superb in every way and did so many extra things to improve my sister's quality of life. It must have been very traumatic for her when my sister died, but I am just thankful that she was with someone who was so caring.

Testimonial

Dear Trish, A personal note of thanks from Sue and myself for all your dedication to keeping things running smoothly at my mother's. It seems a very long time ago since you sent the first Bunbury Carer along. Sue and I have always known that we'd be alright "Trish will sort it out" - somehow!! A very big thank you.

Testimonial

Dear Sarah, Now that the family have made the decision that Mother should stay in the Care Home, I write to thank you and the Agency for all the help and assistance you have given over the years. We have had some "interesting" moments but the Agency has, with very few exceptions, managed to provide care to a very high standard. Please pass on our thanks to the many Carers who have been to my Mother's. Trish continues to provide wonderful support, visiting Mother each afternoon.

Tarporley, Cheshire

Testimonial

Dear Mrs Green, It is with regret that I write to confirm that we will no longer require the services of your Bunbury Ladies. Most of them have proved excellent at caring for my mother who has not always been the easiest person to look after and they have exercised good sense and discretion in caring for her. As her quality of life has declined, this has been a great comfort to the family. Thank you so much for all the Agency and the Ladies did for her.

Heswall, Wirral
