About Dr. Felicity Taylor
Dr Felicity Taylor is a Consultant Paediatrician with over 18 years’ experience in frontline NHS care. Felicity set up The Children’s Clinic in 2024 as a way to bring world-class paediatric healthcare, for babies, children and young people, to her local community in the Hertfordshire area.
“I aim to provide the knowledge and reassurance that I would want for my own children, in an accessible and personal form.”
Felicity’s NHS Consultant practice is at the world-renowned Evelina Children’s Hospital in London, where she works in the specialist children’s emergency department and children’s short stay unit, diagnosing, treating and managing patients. She specialises in diagnosing and treating urgent and emergency conditions in patients from birth up to 18 years old.
From colic in babies to palpitations in teenagers, if your child is unwell Felicity works responsively to get them back to full health as quickly as possible.
Felicity is Patient Safety lead for the children’s emergency department and has a particular interest in improving patient care through improving communication between patients, families and staff. She is a trained ‘speak up’ advocate, natural listener, and skilled communicator and is passionate in improving the experience of healthcare for children and their families.
Felicity has experience working in National Healthcare Commissioning at NHS England, and in developing national standards for emergency care for children and young people at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH).
Felicity is also a busy mum to three even busier children, age 7, 5 and 2. When she's not in clinic she is usally to be found on the side of a tennis court or football sideline, cheering them on!
The Children's Clinic is the proud sponsor of Harpenden Colts football team for the 2026/7 and 2027/8 seasons.

10/10 experience with Dr Taylor. It is our 3rd visit and we could not be happier with the service provided. Dr Taylor has been looking after our son since he was few months old and could not recommend her more.
Dr Felicity is always helpful, reassuring, knowledgeable and kind. She has helped my 3 year old daughter tremendously and on at least two occasions now. Cannot be more grateful. Highly recommend.
“Mummy I want to go to the play doctor! [stamps feet] Why? Cos I like it. Pretty please Mummy, pretty please!!” (Feedback from a 3 year old who likes seeing Dr Taylor so much he even wants to go when he’s healthy!)
Thank you so much for leaving this review! I am thrilled to hear that my patients love coming to see me so much - although I’d far rather they stayed healthy and stayed away :) feel free to drop in anytime for a sticker and a healthy lollipop!
Felicity has been exceptional throughout our daughter’s first year! She has always been on hand whenever we have had worries or need advice and our daughter really enjoys her company. It’s incredibly refreshing and reassuring having Felicity supporting our child and genuinely wish healthcare could be like this for us adults also!
Dr Taylor was excellent, as always. She is friendly and kind, and provided a very thorough consultation and explanation of next steps. I would highly recommend Dr Taylor.
Overall Very good 😊, doctor explained everything and was very thorough with the checks. Has a wonderful way of communicating with children and making them feel comfortable. Will definitely be returning. Well worth the visit and giving parents ease of mind. I highly recommend.
Dr Felicity Taylor has been wonderful with our son, Arthur. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, kind and reassuring, and has a lovely way of putting both children and parents at ease. She takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and always makes us feel supported and confident in her care. We are incredibly grateful for her expertise and would not hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for an outstanding paediatrician.
I honestly cannot recommend Dr Felicity Taylor highly enough. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond for both me and my son. She was incredibly kind, caring and thorough, and made both myself and my mother-in-law feel completely comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. Dr Taylor was fantastic when assessing my little boy and took the time to listen, explain everything clearly and answer all of our questions. She provided us with amazing recommendations and referral advice, as well as an incredibly detailed and in-depth report, which was so helpful and reassuring. It was clear throughout the whole appointment that she genuinely cared about my son and wanted to make sure we had the right support and guidance moving forward. We left feeling listened to, supported and reassured.
