Until your child starts school we are available on our duty line, 0300 123 3444, to answer any worries or concerns you may have regarding their health, development, behaviours and habits. We may offer further support or referral onto relevant children’s services. Medway Community Healthcare in partnership with Medway Council offer a further opportunity to raise concerns in the year before you child starts school.
The School Readiness Review
Why is the school readiness review important?
As your child is getting ready to start school it is important to know that they are as ready as possible to get off to a good start in order to learn and thrive.
What to expect
When you apply for a primary school place you will see a link on the page for a school readiness questionnaire. This will give us the opportunity to address any concerns you may have in order that your child is as prepared as possible for starting school e.g. sleeping habits, diet, behaviour, toileting.
Once your child starts school, care is taken over by our School Nursing team.
