2 – 2 ½ years contact

Age group:
0-4
Service:
You’ll see a member of the team when your child is between two and two and a half years old.

This review is about your child’s development and making sure you have access to the all the right health information you might need.

What happens at this visit?

Before we see you, we’ll ask you to complete two questionnaires called Ages and Stages (ASQ).  These give a good view of how your child is doing and help us look at any areas where they may need a little bit more support. There’s more information about the questionnaires below in the ‘Ages and Stages’ hot topic.

Your child may already be in a nursery, but if not, there are other ways that they can meet and play with other children and try new things. We might talk about nursery, playgroups and other ways for them to socialise and learn new things.

Before we see you – please complete your Ages and Stages questionnaires

You’ll also find the information below helpful as there’s a lot to think about as your child develops. At this age for example they may be getting ready to use a potty or start toilet training. Take a look at the topics and further information links below.
