advice needed please

I'm about to mind a 9 month old soon and was just wondering if someone could help me out with the following....

1. I know that I will have to do lots of obs initially so I can plan from there, but would I have to plan a topic/theme?

2. How do I start her learning journey?

3. Any ideas on what activities to plan?

I'm sure there's lots more I can do, but would be grateful if anyone can guide me in the right direction.

Thanks

You do not plan formal activities for a 9 month old.

You watch, listen and find out about the child and offer activities linked to their likes, dislikes, interests etc.

You start the learning journey with the parents 'all about me' form and go on to include your starting observations and ideas for activities.

Good luck! :D
