    Default Play plans for EYFS aged children

    Child’s play plan

    You can find a sample play plan in this forum thread -

    Chinese New Year - Feb week 1 planning

    At Knutsford Childminding, our play plan is a monthly document which contains lots of information including -

    Observations and assessments -

    I write about 3 - 4 observations a month, using notes from inside and outside play, outings and comments from home (I try to get 1 from each) and link them to the EYFS areas of learning making 'best fit' judgements rather than using the Development Matters guidance as a tick list.

    I note observations from the specific as well as prime areas of learning for all children - just because the EYFS tells us that the prime areas are the most important I am not going to ignore a child's imagination, love of books, enjoyment of outings or skill at dancing!!

    This document gives information about the observation, assessment and planning cycle -

    Individual planning -

    There is little point in putting together a Learning Journey file if it does not help you plan for the child’s future learning and development and contain contributions from the child and parents about what the child is learning at home. I use my play plan, carrying 'next steps' planning ideas forward each month.

    Involvement in group activities -

    All children are welcome to join in our group activities which are linked to the seasons, home and children’s interests and the wider world. However, they are usually for the over 3s and younger children if they show an interest.

    Wellbeing indicator

    The EYFS 2012 states that we must note when a child’s wellbeing deteriorates. If we record their normal wellbeing we will be much better placed to spot concerns.

    I use a smiley / sad face on my play plan each week to note wellbeing.
