Your Child’s two year health and developmental review

Your child’s health and development review is an opportunity for you to see how your child is progressing (children are all different and will develop at different rates for all sorts of different reasons). These reviews are carried out by either a Health Visitor, Community Staff Nurse or a Community Nursery Nurse.

You will be sent a text message by a member of our HV admin team when your child is 2 years old asking you to book your child’s 2 – 2 ½ year  health & development review.

During this contact you will be able to discuss:

• Your child’s development, behaviour and toilet training- how you can support your child in their development and growing independence.
• Your child’s health, including diet, vaccinations and oral health- how you can support your child’s health with a varied healthy diet, regular teeth brushing and the importance of attending vaccination appointments.
• Early years education- how to access funding and the benefits of your child attending an early year’s setting.
• Family environment and safety in the home- how your home environment supports your child’s development and the importance of maintaining safety.
• Emotional health and wellbeing- how you feel and how you are coping.

This will  include completing a questionnaire known as the Ages and Stages questionnaire, or ASQ:SE and could include the Early Language Identification Measurement (ELIM) assessment tool.
