I am a new childminder, only started last week. I currently have an 8 month old, finding it really hard to 'plan' as such, really getting myself in a muddle with it to be honest. We are getting to know each other & I am finding out more about him everyday but I havnt written a thing down as of yet (other than in his daily diary which i share with parents everyday) I have made loads of observations about his play & can see his play patterns emerging and i have a good idea of his likes & dislikes but Im unsure where to go from here! Do i plan with just the 3 prime areas as he is so young? Any help/advice appreciated!
