Winter outdoor water tray ideas

How to plan a curriculum for 2-4 year olds in one room
I have just moved to a new nursery as a manager and from what I can gather the planning is more 'in the moment' as I have been unable to find any evidence of a curriculum. How do you plan a Early Years curriculum for 2-4 year olds in one room? 😪 Thanks 😊
