My DD is 2 next month and their childminder has mentioned the 2 year check that they do stating that they might wait until closer to 3 as they don't think she's anywhere near ready.
I don't care when they do the check but I'm concerned that she was telling me that my daughter won't independently feed herself, hold her own water bottle, hold a colouring pencil, use steps/stairs, doesn't really talk legibly when she's there.
At home DD is fiercely independent. She feeds herself, chops up her own fruit, can use an open cup, can link 2 words together clearly and has started with a few 3 word sentences, has 150+ words that me and her dad can understand maybe 3/4 of those also clear to others. She knows all her colours. She has a keen interest is helping me and can follow directions, eg if we're in the kitchen and I ask her to help me with the washing she'll start loading the machine, she'll fetch me whatever item I request from her toy kitchen- she's doing great!
My question is, is it normal for her to not be displaying these skills at her childminders? Or should I be concerned and potentially looking for another setting? She goes 3 consecutive full days a week and has done since October last year and seems happy enough there.
