From Activity-Led to Learning-Led Planning | EYFS Mini Toolkit

Good provision doesn't begin with “What activity shall we put out?” It begins with what children need to learn.

This practical 8-page toolkit helps EYFS practitioners think more clearly about the purpose behind their provision, adult interaction and learning opportunities.

Inside you'll find:

• A straightforward explanation of activity-led and learning-led planning
• Guidance on identifying meaningful learning priorities
• Worked examples using Goldilocks and construction play
• A reusable learning-led planning template
• A completed example
• Reflection questions to help identify learning and next steps

Ideal for EYFS teachers, nursery practitioners, room leaders and teams looking to strengthen purposeful provision without adding unnecessary paperwork.

Created by Read, Play, Create — practical resources grounded in classroom experience, early language development and purposeful learning.
