Nursery World - An essential guide to ... the integrated review

The new review, bringing together two separate assessments from
early years and health, is being rolled out this month. Charlotte
Goddard provides an overview of what practitioners need to know.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) progress check, usually carried out by a child's key person, is a statutory requirement for nurseries and childminders delivering childcare to two-year-olds within the EYFS framework. The health and development review, at age two to two-and-a-half, is part of the Healthy Child Programme, and is delivered by health visitors. The integrated review will bring these two assessments together, although how that is done will vary depending on the local authority.

Children not in early years settings will only receive the health element of the review, not the progress check, although the Government plans to explore ways that the full review might be offered to children not in formal early years settings at two.
