I was just wondering how pre-school playgroups plan for their children on a sessional basis. How do you plan for the 2 -3 and 3-5 years old? What is the best way of showing medium and weekly plans? I am trying to make a half-term topic plan for an interview to hopefully get the job that I want so much. I know a person who works in this type of setting but does not know what I mean, athough she says I would be well suited to the pre-school playgroups. Any help would be appriciated on this planning idea.

Hi everyone, My boss is on holiday next week and has given me the grand task of doing our pre-school planning...I don't mind..quite enjoy it actually...but as the week is cracking on and I have to spend the weekend shopping for resources...I was wondering if anyone has read Room on a Broom? and has any ideas or tried and tested ones that they would like to share...the reason I ask is that we do 4 activities and observations each day so I could do with as many ideas as poss.. thanks in advance.. PS my quick general ideas so far are: role play area with cauldron, paper lanterns, witches outfits, book of spells, magic wands, rubber bats, bugs etc make your own …

I am applying for a job in a pre-school playgroup setting working as a deputy pre-school leader as part of the job description I have to plan and implement pre-school activities. The children are aged between 2 and 5 years old and I thought it would be a good idea to do a half termly plan for the interview to help them understand that I know how to plan using b23 and foundation stage. I have not worked in this type of setting before, do you have any ideas on how to plan with this age group and setting? thanks in advance

Please help we are at the end of our tether! My supervisor has decided that she may leave due to the fact that we have changed our planning from Long Medium Short term planning to this continous provison/free flow/ workshop areas and child iniated play The whole staff team are confused and de- motivated including me! We arent able to get on any courses at the mo and we have no mentor from our early years. can anyone help us- other nurseries in the area is a no go- closed door policy! I have said tomorrow I will sit down wth her and try and come up with something- at the moment I dont think i could do without her, part of me thinks yes a change of staff may be g…

Observation Matrix

Hello all We use the sticker (post it note) system for our observations which are then filed into each child's development folder under each area of the foundation stage. the problem is we could do with a matrix or grid where the staff can highlight which aspect and stepping stone had been observed and when, so that the staff can see gaps in the observations and then observe the relevent areas. I hope this makes sense!!! if any one has anything like this that they would be willing to share with me i would be so grateful as i am going round in circles!!!!

B23+fs = Eyfs

Hi to all the keyworkers out there Early Years Foundation Stage section 3: Progression through the Areas of Learning and Development. I am wondering if as the Birth to Three Matters is not compulsory, (and staff between 2-3 and 3-4 year olds find it difficult to step in each others roles) could we take on board the stepping stones illustrated in the document now. The flow within the stages makes sense and we would all be beating to the same drum. I would like to, maybe, get this in place for September. What do you think?

Hi all, I m new to the forum and completing a degree in childhood studies. At the moment i am currently working on an essay entitled: The benefits of play. I have to use child observations and play theorys to compare and contrast the essay. Im looking for some tips on observing children, and possible existing observations others have carried out to compare against, as i have never carried out a child observation. Also any help on a summary of the play theorys would be great. Any help you can give me with this post would be greatly appreciated.
