Right i've started doing Monthly planning for my mindees. I have also put the ideas i've got onto a topic web with the 6 areas of the EYFS on.

My mindees are only 2 years old, but I feel I want to plan activities for them to encourage their learning.

Is this enough planning or should I then break the monthly planning down to weekly planning sheets as well?

i would leave it as monthly , and the do individual next steps as your shorter term plan eg child a needing encouragement to put on own coat , or whatever - leaving your activities flexible enough to fit in over the month but you stay free enough weekly to do all those spontaneous things.
I dont think ive explained it very well , still getting my head round it myself really. Sarahs answers in lots of the other planning threads make it much clearer. Im sure more experienced minders will be along with more advice soon.
