A manager or owner sets the setting’s weekly context and creates its plan. A practitioner can add a useful resource-library idea to that week.

Working alone: A solo childminder can fill both roles: choose the weekly focus and actions, then put them into practice.
Managers and owners create the setting’s plan and download its worksheet. Practitioners can add resource-library ideas and use listed actions. Plans are for the setting, without live collaboration or person-by-person task assignment.
For nurseries

Keep a weekly focus and practical resources together in your setting’s plan, even when you work alone.
