PLANNING: Although I am not a preschool with a curriculum to follow, I use the Birth to three matters framework and The Curriculum guidance for the foundation stage to help with planning activities and outings for the children. I do not follow a set plan as I allow the children to choose what they would like to do, however, I try to pick a weekly theme and plan the activities around this theme. ACTIVITIES: I offer a wide range of activities for the children I look after to promote their development. Some of these include: painting drawing baking cooking play-dough reading stories playing board games sticky pictures/collages beads/jewellery making watching videos/TV programmes (age dependant) using the computer for games, learning or homework singing and playing instruments music and movement dressing up/role play sewing (supervised) ball games candle making glass painting marbling
I also have various toys available for the children to play with such as jigsaws, construction bricks and blocks, cars and mat, dressing up clothes, doctors and vets set, dolls, action figures and a tea-set. Outdoors, I have a variety of equipment such as balls, skittles, skipping ropes, a cricket set, slides, a sand pit and a play house. OUTINGS: I regularly take the children (in full day care) on outings, either by car (seat spaces permitting) or by walking to places such as: picnics the library local parks soft play gyms local toddler groups the shops/post office feed the ducks and horses
Occasionally, when I have a small number of older children (usually school holidays), I may take them to places like the cinema or the bowling alley. DAY PLAN: This is a plan of an average day in my setting during term time. Obviously, each day is different and changes according to the weather, how many children I am looking after and their ages, what they want to do, etc. 7.00 am: Children arrive, play with toys, read books or do drawing/colouring in. 8:30 - 9:15am: School run with buggy for younger children. I escort the children into the correct classrooms. 9:15 - 11:30am: Play out in garden or a trip to the park. May do painting, drawing, play with play dough or baking.

Snack time at 10:00am - fresh or dried fruit and juice/water. 11:30am - 12:30pm: Lunch time for all. 12:40 - 1:00pm: School run for afternoon nursery session. 1:00 - 2:00pm: Quiet time.
