The 2 year-old health visitor check up will take place some time after your little one's second birthday. This could be up to six months after they turn 2.

When should 2 year checks be done?

The check must be carried out between 24 and 36 months. This allows flexibility for settings to carry out the progress check when it is best for the individual. The child should be settled and practitioners need to know the child.

What is the 2 year check in early years?

When your child is aged between two and three, the early years setting will review their progress, and provide you with a short written summary of your child's development in a number of areas. This progress check will identify your child's strengths, and any areas where his or her progress is less than expected.
