Hi I'm starting in nursery in spetember having taught in receptuon for 13 years. I'm struggling to get my head around the fact that every child needs an individual plan updated half term ly with their next steps. In reception we plan our lit/maths focus and our free flow activites then we put childrens names next to the activity of they HAVE to visit it to cover a next step which has been noted from their learning journey. My brain is frazzled that on top of this I need to to an individual plan for every child every half term! How do others do it?

Hi I a starting a new job in a nursery in September . I am very nervous as I have come from year 2. Can anyone please explain to me the planning process is nursery? Do you have individual plans for every child and if so how often are these updated? Do you have focus activities that all children have to do in the week with an adult? Any help on planning would be greatly appreciated Thanks
