I would spend the first two weeks minimum getting the child settled in and doing lots of obs so you can gauge the childs interests and starting points.
After this you will find it much easier to start your planning and make it sucessful.
Good luck x

Planning,,,, there are lots of threads ere on planning,,,
long,,,this is your continual provisions
MTP,,,,monthly or termly plans eg chinese new yr activities, whats in your area,, drop in's... places you go each week..
STP.. this is the activity sheet used for an activity,,, eg card making or trip to zoo which would inc your risk assessment..
to start i would look at your MTP for the month of Jan...
list each week and what you will do ,,,
Monday...
am.........toddler group
lunch
pm.... park (risk ass)
Tues
am.... soft play area (inc risk ass)
lunch
pm..... friends for free play,,,STP... card making
Wed
am....swimming
lunch
pm....libuary... STP Story sacks
the planning for each child is the same but what is the child interested in? what does the child need to help him/her with the craft..activity etc
can you get with other CM's to help you get started?
we are ere if you need help kk
