From the earliest days of infancy, the decisions made around a child’s healthcare significantly influence their physical, emotional, and developmental well-being. Some decisions may seem minor, others more substantial—but each contributes to the foundation of lifelong health. Regular Check-up provides the opportunity to stay informed, supported, and proactive in promoting your child’s optimal development.

Dr Megan Page and Dr Juliet Hannington provide comprehensive, GP-led care for infants, children, and adolescents. These consultations focus on monitoring growth and development, identifying potential concerns early, and offering guidance that is relevant to the realities of daily family life.

Each well-child visit is 30 minutes long, allowing sufficient time for a thorough evaluation and discussion. Depending on your child’s age and needs, the appointment may include:

The consultation is guided by your child’s developmental stage and your family’s current priorities, whether that be introducing solids, navigating separation anxiety, preparing for school, or addressing adolescent transitions such as sleep changes or mood shifts.

While individual needs may vary, there are key developmental points when routine check-ups are particularly beneficial:

Infants and Toddlers:

Preschool and School-Age:

Tweens and Adolescents:

These visits facilitate early identification of health or developmental concerns, provide anticipatory guidance, and strengthen the foundation for future well-being.

Routine check-ups are an essential component of preventive healthcare. Even in the absence of specific concerns, these visits allow us to monitor your child’s growth and development in relation to expected norms, provide reassurance, and offer timely support where needed.

They are also a valuable opportunity to discuss common challenges such as picky eating, sleep disruptions, peer relationships, or emotional regulation. Over time, consistent attendance helps foster a positive relationship with healthcare and builds familiarity and trust in medical settings.

We welcome discussion around any issue affecting your child’s health or well-being. Topics may include:

As children mature, they may begin to express their own questions or concerns. We support their increasing autonomy while ensuring that caregivers remain fully informed and involved in their care.

Whether you are arranging your baby’s first consultation or checking in during adolescence, paediatric care is available throughout every stage of development. No referral is necessary. If you have a concern, a question, or simply feel it is time for a review, we welcome you to book an appointment directly.
