Maintained Nursery Routine/Timetable

Hi! I work in a a maintained nursery with there being just me and the teacher ( we have a volunteer for 1 morning and 1 afternoon each week who does cooking!), so 1:13. Since our Ofsted put a very heavy focus on EYFS Phonics we are under massive pressure to cram a huge amount into 3 hours. We have children from 3 - 4+, so quite a range. We had always done a group activity, varying each day so sometimes a maths theme, sometimes UW and so on, with a story, then did a phonics phase 1 activity at the end of each session. We did this in 2 groups . so 1 would be those going to school in Sept, and the other our younger children. In between we did free flow in/out with the teacher and I taking turns to be out. Post Ofsted we are now having to fit a group activity as before, a phonics session for those going to school in Sept ( this has to be in 2 groups as there are a lot of them!), then a story time at the end altogether. This means our free flow time is greatly reduced and I feel that the groups, then phonics are taking up too much of the session leaving too little free flow in/out time. The Head is keen that that doesn't happen, but it is proving impossible to juggle the time usefully I would be really grateful if anyone in a maintained setting with the same ratio could share their timetable /routine to see if we can improve things.
