EYFS 2-Year Progress Check Form (Age 2 to 3)

About this form

This printable is for childminders in England who need to complete the EYFS progress check for a child between the ages of 2 and 3. It gives you one clear place to write a short summary of how the child is getting on, in your own words.

The form follows the three prime areas: communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development. For each one you note the child's strengths and progress, how you will support them, and how the family can help at home. A second page records the parent or carer's views, the plan you agree together, and who will help next if there is a concern.

It's meant to be filled in with the family, perhaps at pick-up or at a short arranged chat. Once it's signed, you can share it with the health visitor so it sits alongside the child's health and development review.

How to use it

Before you meet the family, jot down what you have seen of the child's strengths and progress in each of the three prime areas.
Sit down with the parent or carer and add their view of the child at home in the parent / carer voice box.
Agree the next steps together: what you will do, what the family will do, and when you will look again. If there is a concern, note who will help next, such as the health visitor.
Both sign and date the form, then record when you shared it and, with the family's agreement, when you sent it to the health visitor.

Questions

Which curriculum does this follow?+

It's written for England, where the EYFS asks for a progress check between the ages of 2 and 3. Scotland and Wales don't use the EYFS, so there is no version for them.

What ages is it for?+

It is for the check carried out between the ages of 2 and 3, and the form records the child's age in months on the day.

Can I print it at home, and will it use a lot of ink?+

Yes, it prints on a home printer. Every printable also comes with a low-ink version.

Can I use it for several children?+

Yes, print a fresh copy for each child in your setting. The licence covers use in one setting, so please don't resell or share it. If you subscribe to KinderStart, it's free in the app.
