Who does the planning?!

Hi all, We are just sat mulling over our planning system and was just interested to know who is responsible for the planning in your setting? Is it the room leader, a group effort or is the planning put in place by management and then implemented by other staff. The reason we ask this is because currently it is a group effort within each room to ensure planning is in place and being implemented. The room leader has the final responsibility however we are aware that it's quite a big task to do alone and we feel that if everyone is involved they are more likely to be enthusiastic etc. Yet this does not seem the case at the moment..... We are seeing less and less exciting activities being planned and children seem to be doing the same things day in day out. As management we are constantly offering ideas to extend on current activities / topics etc, suggesting and sending out home links, putting up displays, helping to source resources etc. We do not feel that we are taking over things that the others are doing but simply trying to keep things fun and interesting for the children and above all of this ensuring that the children are moving on with their learning. We have had various conversations with our ladies about this and even offered further staff training in-house and externally to help to support them. We are now just thinking it might be easier to just do the planning for them and leave them to carry it out.........!!! Above all of this we are also heavily involved in the children's learning journeys and 3 monthly reports that we send home to parents. It's starting to feel like all our staff feel they should be doing whilst they are here is change nappies and ensure the children settle for their sleep!!! They don't even have much responsibility at mealtimes excepting supervising the children whilst eating.... Is it also too much to expect them to pass on information gained from parents to others who have a right to know? i.e. a change in the child's routine or something. It just seems that as management we are having all the direct contact with the parents and our staff only feel they need to ask if the child had slept well or our biggest bug bare is saying 'they've had a good day'...... Although we have written day sheets that the key person writes it has taken us AGES to get them to write anything valuable in them. Are we expecting too much of our ladies? It's not like they are not in ratio and are dealing with poor working conditions!! We'd be really interested to know your views... Thanks in advance Nursery Manager and Nursery Owner
