Progress check at two
A short written summary of your child's development that their nursery or childminder must give you when they are between 2 and 3

Under the EYFS, the setting looks at your child’s progress in the prime areas: communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. Their key person writes a short summary of strengths and anything that may need extra support, and shares it with you. It is meant to be discussed, not just handed over. Many areas combine it with the health visitor’s review at around the same age, so that any concerns, such as delayed speech, are picked up early. Ask the nursery when it will be done.
