Developmental reviews

1 year developmental review 

During this contact you will be given the opportunity to discuss your babies' growth and development. You will be contacted by letter for you to arrange an appointment for your child’s review.   To help you think about your child's progress you will be sent an Ages and Stages questionnaire (ASQ).  The aim of the questionnaire is to help you understand your child's development.

You will have an opportunity to discuss the following:

• Healthy lifestyle 
• Immunisations 
• Dental health 
• Safety issues 
• Next stages of development 

The next scheduled contact for  your child is at  2 to 2½ years old,  but you can always contact your health visitor at any time if there are any questions or concerns about your child’s development.
