B4 School Checks

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. 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 and your child will have about a 30 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 also be assessed at this appointment.
