Digging deeper - ASQ-3 assessment

The Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-3™), is a parent-completed developmental screening tool used during the 2-2½ year health reviews.

It evaluates five key domains to monitor development and identify potential delays:

  • Communication
  • Gross motor
  • Fine motor
  • Problem-solving
  • Personal-social

The picture in Bromley in 2024/25

Overall

82.9% of children were at or above the expected level in all five areas of development (+1.5% vs National)

89.2% of children received the ASQ-3 as part of the Healthy Child Programme or integrated review (where there are clear special needs this is not the appropriate tool)
