Integrated Review at 2

The Integrated Review at 2;

  • Is designed to bring together the Healthy Child Programme Health and Development Review used by Health Visiting Teams, and the statutory EYFS Progress Check at 2 used by early years practitioners
  • Aims to assess children’s development at 24 to 36 months.
  • Supports the early identification and effective intervention of children’s developmental needs with parents fully engaged and informed.
  • Supports parents to gain a complete picture of their child.

Introduced nationally by the Department for Education and the Department of Health in 2011, a core group of Health and Early Years practitioners worked together locally to construct and consult on an Integrated Review Pathway for Nottingham. This pathway is not a completely new way of working, it promotes and builds on what is agreed to be best practice currently happening across the city.

To support both Health Visiting Teams and Early Years practitioners understand their role within the pathway, 'Integrated Review at 2 Years
Nottingham City Guidance for Health and Early Years
Providers' has been developed and the contact details for the Children's Public Health 0-19 Nursing Service to support the Integrated Review can be found here.

The Progress Check at 2 is a statutory requirement for registered early years provision as part of the EYFS Statutory Framework and practitioners can choose the format they use to complete the check.  There are many examples available, including advice from the Department for Education: Progress Check at age two 

The Integrated Review at 2 Years: Nottingham City Guidance for Health and Early Years Providers includes a Nottingham City Progress Check at 2 template, developed with local Early Years Managers. Providers are not obliged to use this local template however; Health Visiting Teams in Nottingham are now familiar with this format, making it easier for them to identify any emerging needs of the children you are both supporting.
