You will be offered regular health and development reviews (health visitor checks) for your baby until they are around 2. These are to support you and your baby, and make sure their development is on track.

The reviews are usually done by a health visitor or a member of their team at one of our family hubs.

It’s helpful, where possible, for both parents to attend as this gives you both a chance to catch up with your health visiting team ask questions, talk about any concerns you have and think about your child’s next stage.

Aged 8 – 12 months

We offer developmental reviews for your baby at around 9 months old. These will usually take place either in your home or at one of our family hubs by a 0 to19 Family Health Worker.

We will talk to you about how your baby/child is growing and developing. We’ll share information about oral health, healthy eating, vision, hearing, language development and keeping your child safe.

Aged and 2 – 2½ years

You will be offer a developmental review when your child is around 2 years and 3 months olds. We will talk to you about how your baby/child is growing and developing. We’ll share information about oral health, healthy eating, vision, hearing, language development and keeping your child safe.

You will be sent a questionnaire about your child’s development to fill in before the review (the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, ASQ). Find out more about ASQ’s here.
