According to eyewitnesses, police closed down the hospital to all traffic in and out after the report was made at around 2.50pm today (June 1).
A spokesman said all wards at the hospital have been checked and at this stage it is believed that all babies have been accounted for.
One eyewitness at the hospital told Nantwichnews: “The whole place went into lockdown – there were police everywhere.
“We’d heard a baby had gone missing. They were not allowing cars in or out of the hospital grounds.”
