West Coast B4 School Checks

The B4 School Check is a free health and development check for your 4 year old. That leaves enough time to follow up before they start school.

The B4 School Check is free for every 4 year old child in New Zealand, and is the last Well Child check. It’s a good idea for your child to have their B4 School Check soon after their 4th birthday. It is a chance to have your child’s health and development checked before they start school. The Check is an opportunity for you to talk with a nurse about your child and ask about things important to you – and it won’t cost you a thing. Your child will also have their vision and hearing checked. After the check, you can get a copy of the results. You will be asked to fill in questionnaires about your child’s development and wellbeing. If your child attends a preschool, kindergarten or kohanga reo, they will also be asked about
your child’s learning and development. You and your child will have about a 45 minute
appointment with a nurse. You will be able to talk with the nurse about your child’s wellbeing
and can ask about anything that is worrying you. The Nurse will talk to you about: Your child’s health and development, teeth, height, weight, social and emotional wellbeing, and immunisations. Your child’s vision and hearing will be assessed by a vision and hearing technician on the day of checkWhat happens after

After the check, you can get a copy of the results, and ask any further questions about your child’s health and development. Please bring along your child’s Well Child Tamariki Ora Health Book, so the nurse can record your child’s growth and development. If you or the nurse thinks your child has any health or development issues that need further assessment, the nurse will discuss this with you and offer to refer you to other services that may help. Your child’s B4 School Check is due when they turn 4. To find out more or to book a check
contact your local provider at 027 681 3112.
