Thanx Sarah
I find with the monthly plan i can wonder off from it and do what the mindees want instead from one day to the next. If i get it all covered then great, if not prep work gets filed and can be used next year.

We posted at the same time Sarah!
We don't have to do individual planning for before and after schoolers do we? In my case anyway...I have 3 boys before school for half an hour and 2 after school for an hour and a half and I have to give them dinner, so no time to do anything other than free play. Seems pointless planning for them as I know we won't have time to do it. They do play games in relation to a current theme....like now for example, I've made some Spring themed snap cards and we play i spy and things on the way to school.
I have 6 children in the EYFS. Two of them are only here for a 3-4 hours each a week. I don't get too complex with my planning, more follow their lead and think of activities for next steps.
For me personally it is a lot simpler to keep things simple
If it's not an Outstanding then thats fine, have been minding over 14 years with no complaints and a waiting list.
Happy to be back with the Greenies

[QUOTE=huggableshelly;356058]ideally you dont want to leave boxes empty you have made a really good plan though
Sorry to correct you here but If you have blanks on a planning sheet that is actually a good idea ... Planning is what it says .. a plan of what you might want to do ...
Having gaps is a good idea as it shows that the sheet is a working document...
Add activities to the sheet if you do spontanious activities ... add things on that you change ... it doesnt matter if it messes up a perfect sheet that is typed .. it shows you are adapting the activities appropriatelly to weather, development and interests ....qand children's suggestions!
I make sure I have gaps in my planning to have flexibility ...
What if you are doing spring topic and the child says I want to grow a plant tomorrow??? how will you show this on a fully filled in sheet ...
... Just a few pointers to think about

I was on a course a few weeks ago and one thing that was shown to us was the planning of a school nursery in Glasgow that write their planning up on the WINDOWS in those pens that pubs etc have, so that they can all see it and the parents/carers can see it too, and anyone can add to it, and then each day they photograph it for evidence.
I thought it was a cool way of doing it
Ok now you have observed them, so start off a file or scrape book on each child, stick child's picture on the front call i a learning journey.
Write up a couple of observations on each child stick them in the file/book add photos
look at the EYFS guidance and try to link obs to an area then look across the page and see what you could be doing next
Get this done and then continue to add to it at least once a week per child use their interest as the starting point for anything you plan
YOU DO NOT NEED DETAILED PLANS DONE IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!! only a rough outline eg mothers day = some activities Easter = some activities always be prepared to abandon any plans if the child has another interest
