How each setting plans its days can cause lots of debate, but we feel happy and secure with the work we have done around planning and it's now really working for our whole team.
Our planning has always been based on observing each child. We look at where the child is in terms of their development, and we take into account their particular interests and then plan fun, exciting, interesting and simulating activities.
We are pleased that this approach is embedded in the revised EYFS because our planning has always been organic, with daily reflection at the end of each session. This is when we talk about special moments, what worked, and what didn't. The difference now is that each key person is responsible for recording their own planning for their key children.
