you don't simply

you can't

you meet their basic needs and nurture them

you do some basic long term planning and that is it.

you get Sarah's e-book on planning :D

Your planning is 2 fold... routine planning to meet their needs as Pip says and following your observations with ideas for next steps activities which help them to develop and grow and learn more about the world around them.

there is lots of information in the development matters document too :D

As above. and next steps are likely to involve more of the same. For example if observation is "child giggled when I played round and round the garden with her", next step might be "continue playing / singing rhymes regularly and gradually introduce new ones".
