Progress check at age 2
When a child is aged between 2 and 3, practitioners must review their progress and provide parents and/or carers with a short written summary of their child’s development in the prime areas. This is known as the Progress Check at age 2:
Concerns about a child's development
If you have concerns about a child’s development you should complete the Two Year Integrated Review - EYFS Progress Check online questionnaire (NHS) before the Healthy Child Programme Health and Development Review.
Note: Make sure you have parental consent. This questionnaire is sent directly to the Health Visiting Team to ensure the information is shared.
No concerns about a child’s development
If there are no concerns about a child’s development, we recommend you ask parents to share the progress check with the health practitioner at their health and development review.
