The Welly Wren Childminding Calendar and Planner Pack is back and are better than ever! 

Be Inspired

This year's 2025 calendar has a special inspirational quote to display each month and over 181 special days, celebrations or festivals to learn about or celebrate.

Did you know that there is a special day for almost everything!? The calendar will help you to have fun with all sorts of different days to help inspire you. From fun and silly days like 'International Joke Day,' and 'National Ice-cream Day' to more serious topics such as 'World Environment Day' and 'World Mental Health Day'. There are also all the normal dates like Mother's Day, Easter, etc as well as special religious festival dates to help you plan diversity activities.

As well as the 2025 calendar there is also a special childminding planner to help keep you organised. 

Get Organised:

Included with the planner are simple monthly planning sheets to help you keep on top of things without getting bogged down. There is space to plan activities along with a idea from the Childminding Best Practice Club each month to help inspire you. There is also an 'Action Plan' section so that you can record any training or CPD you wish to do. (This is something that is helpful to be able to show your Ofsted Inspector if you get inspected.) 

For the really disorganised there is a box with monthly childminding tasks such as checking your smoke alarms that you can check and do.

Revise your Safeguarding Knowledge:

The planner includes a monthly safeguarding revision question to think about with answers and links to further information at the back of the calendar.

New for 2025

Okay, confession time, I have mainly designed this planner around what I will find useful myself. I felt that the 2024 version had resources missing that I would really appreciate having, so I have added them to the new 2025 version so that you can use them too. In addition to the monthly planning sheets with the safeguarding questions, and so on, I have added:

• A year at a glance sheet to record boring but essential things like when your Ofsted fee is due. If you are like me these reminders can get lost in a diary but having them on a sheet pinned to the fridge makes them harder to skim over and forget.

• Weekly Focus Planner with a space to quickly jot down things like any main themes or ideas you want to cover with the children. This can help ensure that you have  balance of activities on offer over the course of the year.

• A special 'Birthday's sheet to print and fill in for exactly the same reason as above!

• Quarterly Plans at a Glance sheets that you can add a little more detail to, such as any trips you have planned, topics you want to cover or holidays you are taking.

• Week at a Glance for people who like to break things down even further.

• Menu Planner to keep meal times organised.

• Enquiries Record/Waiting List. This will help you remember who enquired about which space first so that you can use it as a waiting list of you like.

• Simple monthly income and expenditure sheets to help keep your accounts organised.
