If you aren’t comfortable completing this questionnaire ahead of your meeting, then ensure that you take it along and discuss it during your appointment. There are no silly questions, and the professionals involved can provide you with the advice and guidance you need to support you. With that in mind, please ensure you ask any questions that you might have about your child’s development and progress. You, as the parent, will have far more knowledge and understanding of your child than any Health Visitor or Health Care Professional will. It’s important to note that this check is a snapshot in time. The questionnaire covers speech and language, gross and fine motor skills, physical development, problem-solving and your child’s social development. What to Expect from the 2-Year Development CheckĪhead of your child’s 2-year check, you should be sent the Ages and Stages Questionnaire to complete ahead of time.
Their assessment provides an overview of your child’s development in the 7 Areas of Learning outlined in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). However, if your child is attending an early years setting such as a day nursery or childminder, they too will be required to complete a 2-year development check.
These checks are generally completed by your Health Visitor or another Health Care Professional.
The 2-year development check tends to be the last of these checks and will usually occur when your child is between 2 and 2 and a half years old. All children in the UK have these checks. Agencies and professionals monitor children at various stages for the first 2 years of their life.
