Hi, congratulations :) is it possible to ask colleagues for a meeting so that you can all put your ideas down as a team? There are usually some aspects of a system or cycle that individuals feel could be improved on even in a small way and this seems like an ideal opportunity to hear how everyone thinks the planning should happen in your setting.

Long term, continuous planning is one way to ensure the setting's laid out with areas that contain toys and open-ended resources to support children's holistic development and can take the pressure off needing frequently written plans that require the environment to be re-organised eg. a document that explains the benefits of your play areas - tabletops, floor, stage, books, outdoor, display areas and the type of activities that occur there eg. sand, water, playdough, interlocking & building, small world, role play, reading & story telling.

Does your setting plan for children's individual needs? Do keypeople organise specific activities for their named children's development? Next steps? Do you follow children's interests in planning, have themes, topics, celebrate certain events and festivals each year?

and are there any professional books available that could help you forulate your own programme? observation & planning, continuous provision are there any links with your local authority's early years department? would they have any suggestions that could help?
Very best wishes with it, interested to hear how it goes for you xx
