Children grow so fast, and before you know it that 2nd birthday is being celebrated! When your children turn two years old it will be time for them to have a developmental review. This is their
'2 Year Check'.
This check is divided into two parts. One part is carried out by the NHS, usually by a Health Visitor, and is called the
'Health and Development Review'.
The other is carried out by your child's childcare provider and is called an
'Early Year's Review at Age 2'.

The other is carried out by your child's childcare provider and is called an

The reviews focus on different areas but both will look at your child's development, identify their strengths and see if they need extra support in any areas so both are important.
Each review is carried out separately but your childcare provider will will complete the Early Years Review, and make a written summary before the Health and Development Review happens, when your child is 27 months old.
You can take the summary to the health and development review so the health visitor can look at the information and discuss it with you.
If the health visitor thinks your child needs more support then everyone can work together to make sure that it happens.
When your childcare provider completes their summary it is important that you consider what you would like to add to it as your contribution. There is a box on the form for you to write in. If you want you can give your comments to the provider for them to add to the form. You will sign the completed form.

When it is completed it will be placed into your child's health record, (everyone refers to this as the Red Book!) It is placed in there so that the health visitor can find it quickly and easily, and read the relevant information at your meeting. The summary needs to be a 'snap shot' of our combined thoughts within the same time frame, to build a clear picture of all aspects of your child's development in different contexts. You should receive a letter or other communication from your childcare provider explaining how they are going to complete the summary and get it ready for you. If you don't, then ask them about it when the time comes. |

At Little Acorns we want to provide useful information so that parents and professionals can share in and celebrate the children's progress, whilst at the same time, have a clear idea of how they can best help the child towards their next steps. We track using the EYFS framework and Development Matters, and we report against the development statements with regards to the ages and stages bands. We indicate the best fit stage using three colour:

"Children develop at their own rates and in their own ways. The development statements and their order should not be taken as necessary steps for individual children. The age/stage bands overlap because these are not fixed age boundaries but suggest a typical range of development."
