Hi! - I think the reason why we're all having problems with planning is that we're trying to anticipate what OFSTED want from us.
Bearing in mind that children learn all their waking time, and we can say a long list of potential learning in one activity, lets not do the adult directed stuff with these babies! Lets not impose topics on them.
Lets just make sure we have lots of reasources (interesting stuff not necessarily state of the art) available, keep to a workable routine, and make sure there's plenty of time to talk and play with the children. Watch what they do and think about what they might be interested in doing next time.
Lets put OFSTED in their rightful place and think of the 2 year old first - what would they like to do?
If the OFSTED inspector is any good they'll understand and be able to see that what you're doing is right.
