Health Visiting Health visitor data for service levels: The Health Visiting service has 4 geographical areas and 4 levels of service delivery. Current UNIVERSAL HV service numbers (0-5) are as follows: • EAST (St Saviour, St Martin, Grouville, St Clement) 1557 children • WEST (St Lawrence, St Mary, St Ouen, St Peter, St Brelade) 1198 children • NORTH (town 1179 children) • SOUTH (town 1145 children) Divided horizontally through the middle of St Helier

Two Year Development Check 2017 • 86% coverage for two year check. The remaining 14% were not considered safeguarding concerns. • Some non-attenders were already attending the Child Development Centre where a number of professionals already had contact with children and assessed development independently. • A high proportion of children did not reach all domains due to low communications scores.

Educational Insight

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) • The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to five years old and forms the basis of the curriculum in the foundation stage of primary school: Nursery and Reception • Research shows that children who access a high quality early learning experience, and achieve or exceed expected development levels at the end of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), are likely to achieve better results at the end of both primary and secondary school. • The Early Learning Goals (ELG) are divided into three prime areas of development and four specific areas of learning. • The three prime areas of development consisting of: Communication and language, Physical development, and Personal, social and emotional development. • The specific areas of learning are literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design • In 2018, 57% of Reception children met or exceeded all early learning goals compared with 46% in 2017. Children are doing well in the three prime areas of learning. Although England is at 70.2% compared to 57% in Jersey, the UK's starting point was 48.9% in 2013, when they first started to collect this data.

Key Performance Data – Development Matters 93% of the reception cohort in 2017 (1,084 of 1,168 children) and 2018 (989 of 1,064 children) were assessed against the Early Learning Goals
