1. Your team records the day
A photo and a sentence. An observation tagged to an area. A milestone marked "emerging" when you see it. The diary of feeds, naps and moods that parents read anyway. Nothing extra.
Written from your record
The two-year check, started for you Nurseries & pre-schools
The progress check at age two is the one piece of writing the EYFS still asks for, and it usually gets done on a Sunday night from memory. Press one button and the three prime areas, strengths, next steps and what parents can do at home are drafted from the observations, milestones and diary your team already kept.
You read it back, change what you like, and save. Nothing saves itself.

✨ Draft from Ivy's recordDrafted from the last 90 days. Read every line back, then save.
For you, not the parent: several observations of understanding, fewer of the words Ivy uses. A focused listen over the next few weeks would help.
Ivy understands two-part instructions without any help from gestures, and her understanding is clearly ahead of her talking. She uses single words reliably and two-word phrases are beginning to appear, for example 'shoe on', 'more' and 'all gone'.
Ivy moves confidently: she climbs steps on her own, jumps off a step with two feet together and runs. She stacks seven blocks with a neat pincer grip and feeds herself a full meal with a spoon.
Ivy settles quickly at drop-off and seeks a familiar adult when upset, calming within a couple of minutes. She passes shells to a friend unprompted and says whose turn it is.
Ivy's spoken language is worth keeping a close eye on: mainly single words, with two-word phrases only recently appearing. Worth discussing warmly with her parents and, if they agree, sharing with the health visitor alongside her two-year review.

Only from the record
Every line traces to a dated observation or a milestone your staff recorded.
Names removed first
The child, other children and staff become "the child", "another child" and "a colleague" before anything is sent.
Nothing saves itself
The key person reads it back, edits, and presses Save. The PDF prints what they saved, not what the model said.
Three months of ordinary notes become the check
2. One press, once the child is two
Any time between their second and third birthday, open the 2-yr check tab and press Draft from the record. It reads the last 90 days of observations, the latest status for each milestone and the diary as a pattern, and fills every box of the check.
3. The key person makes it theirs
Read it against what you know of the child. Change a sentence, delete one, add the parent's comment. Save, and the PDF is ready for the parent and the health visitor.
What it read
- 5 Oct · CLFollowed "put your cup on the table and come and get your coat" with no gestures from me. Her understanding is well ahead of her talking.
- 14 Sep · CLBrought her shoe and said "shoe on". Two-word phrases are new this month.
- 19 Oct · CLCopied the actions to Wind the Bobbin Up and sang "pull, pull" at the end. Mostly single words; she points and takes an adult's hand.

Honest by design
It says what the record says, and no more
Three notes about understanding, one about talking, and a milestone still emerging. The draft turned that into "worth keeping a close eye on", suggested a warm conversation with the parent, and offered the health visitor as the next step if the parent agrees.
It never names a condition and never says a child has a delay. Where the record is thin it says so, in a note the parent never sees, so the team knows what to observe next.
Only the record goes
Observations with their area tags, milestone statuses, and a summary of the diary. No photos, no dates of birth, no contacts, no medical, accident or safeguarding records. Section 7a of the privacy policy lists it exactly.
Not kept, not trained on
Our AI provider processes the request and does not retain the content or use it to train its models. The same terms that cover Polish with AI.
Managers, deputies and supervisors
The button sits with the people who write the check. A fair-use limit per person per hour is plenty for a cohort and stops anyone leaning on it.
Thin record, no draft
A child with no observations and no milestones gets a plain message instead, and nothing is sent. Add a few observations across the prime areas first.
Questions
Before you press it
Is it writing the check for us?
It is starting it. The check is a statutory document in the key person's name, so the draft is read back and edited before anything is saved. The PDF prints what you saved.
What if it gets something wrong?
Change it. Every box is an ordinary text box. If a sentence is not something you would say yourself, delete it. Two presses can word things differently, so pick the one you prefer and edit from there.
Does it work for childminders?
Not yet. It is part of the Complete plan for nurseries and pre-schools. The 2-yr check tab itself, pre-filled from milestones, is there for every setting.
Will parents see the AI note?
No. The "For you, not the parent" note about evidence gaps is shown on screen to staff and is never saved or printed.
Keep the record light. Let the check write itself.
One short observation a week per child is enough. Try it on a real two-year-old during your free trial.
