Help with planning

[SillyMillysMummy]

OK, this may be a little premature, but..my first mindee starts Monday, only 4 hours once a week, but i want to still do planning and activities c beased around a monthly theme. I havent had any EYFS training at all as yet so am completely lost as to what they will look for etc. Any help appreciated.

mindee is 2.5 btw

Silly Millys Mummy, I did a long term plan with a theme covering 2 months, and a holiday in that 2 months as well, ie November/December's theme is winter, with christmas thrown in as well.

I have tried to link the activities to what the mindee likes, and to any areas that (from observation) need work on ie singing interaction etc.

Don't try to go to indepth, you will only have the little one for 2.5 hours. Try to do things that you are all going to enjoy and work this into the theme. Like if it snows, take mindee out to play, build a snow man etc and work this into your theme
