Play work and Planning
 

Hello I am after some advice please. I have been asked to help run our out of school club.
I have to evidence the planning in our out of school club. HOW.......
you should not plan for play....play is spontenous.....

I have photographed all our resources so the children can choose what they want on what day (velcro board very quick and easy)
I have a board to show what we offer as the core provision.
we do observations on the children but this is not done against anything. it show's what they liked/disliked/how they played together.

Does anyone have a template on how to evidence this for when oftsed comes knocking.

our support worker is getting me very confused she is happy with what I have done so far but wants to know how I am going to enhance it and also prove how I have enhanced it....arghhhhhhhhhhh

Help please.........

If you are already observing the children's likes, dislikes, interests etc then it is a very small step forward to think about how you can enhance their enjoyment and play by providing resources and play opportunities to build on what they are doing now and move them forwards.

You probably do it already without realising...

You see a child really interested in role play and remember some appropriate hats / other resources / dressing up clothes that he might enjoy and find them for next session...

You are keeping to the principles of playwork by enhancing children's play without interfering and you are following the Eyfs by showing how you plan for the next steps in children's learning and development.
