School Readiness Review Guidelines (G210)
This Best Practice Guidance gives clear guidance on the minimum standard expected of Community Nursery Nurses (CNNs) when delivering the school readiness review. It outlines the goal and essential components of the school readiness review offered to all families in Derbyshire when their child is around 3.5 years old. This document also supports a commitment to ensure evidence-based tools and training are embedded within practice, supporting the national commissioning for outcomes recommendations, and offering assurance that the service is focused on personalised and needs based care. It is expected that Nursery Nurses employed by DCHS exercise professional judgement and have clear, documented evidence of the rationale for their decision making when working with children and families, including making the decision to seek advice or support from a health visitor in the team when needed.
