2 Year Old Progress Check

The progress check at age 2 is a statutory requirement of the EYFS 2021.

When a child is aged between two and three, practitioners must review their progress, and provide parents and/or carers with a short written summary of their child’s development in the prime areas. This progress check must identify the child’s strengths, and any areas where the child’s progress is less than expected. EYFS 2021 Page 18.
