Your little one is now a toddler. They are growing up and discovering the world. This developmental check helps you to ensure that your toddler is starting to become ready for school.
This appointment is likely to take place in a local Children’s Centre and will be carried out by a Community Nursery Nurse.
You will be sent two Ages and Stages Questionnaires to complete in advance of the appointment. These will look at a range of topics, including gross and fine motor skills.
This is the final check we carry out as part of the service. However, if you have any concerns about your child’s development you can always get in touch with the service up until they are five years old.
Should there be any indication that your child may need further review or assessment, a plan will be discussed with you. This may include support you can offer your child in the home, local groups and activities that may benefit your child, timescales for further assessment or what referrals might be considered, either now or in the future.
There are many ways you can support and encourage your child in their development, please look at the resources below for helpful suggestions and guidance.
