Babies to 2 years - planning

How is everyone planning for babies up to two years?
I know it's supposed to be based on their interests and 80% self-initiated but to be realistic this is not possible....advice would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Maybe you could list the skills that you wnt to develop that week

e.g, practising crawling,
experimenting
exploring etc....

With then a list of POSSIBLE activites, which aren't rigid. Then you could adapt and change them according to the child/weather etc...

Then write down what you have actually done, and assess that. Then move on from there.

I would leave it as open as possible so you can be flexible

Hope this is of some help

Eyfs is quite keen on individual planning, so think about how each baby needs to progress, take advice from parents and write up their individual next steps on a simple form that shows...

1. What they did last session

2. Input from parents

3. Planning ideas for this session

4. Space for what actually happened... this leads back into next steps for next session.

Link it to the Eyfs and job done!
