Summary This paper describes an analysis of the written information given to parents of pre‐school children with developmental delay prior to their attendance at a Child Development Centre. Texts were analysed for their readability and human interest, and the usefulness of the information was assessed through consultation with parent consumers. The discussion of the results includes suggestions for staff who are involved in the development of client leaflets and booklets.
