Cycle of Planning Made Visible: Streamlined Tools for Quality Practices in Early Childhood Education

The Cycle of Planning Made Visible by Butler Diaries

The planning cycle doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

This collection brings together the essential tools and training that make the EYLF v2.0 and MTOP v2.0 planning cycle visible, consistent, and easy to manage. Whether you’re an educator, Educational Leader, or Nominated Supervisor, these resources help you confidently demonstrate how your documentation links to children’s learning and outcomes.

Each product has been designed to help you plan, observe, reflect, and evaluate in a way that aligns directly with the National Quality Standard (NQS) — particularly Quality Area 1: Educational Program and Practice.

In This Collection:

  • Programming & Reflection Diaries – The foundation of visible, organised documentation aligned with the full planning cycle.
  • Children’s Journals and Observation Books – Capture individual learning, link to outcomes, and reflect on growth over time.
  • Educational Leader and Supervisor Diaries – Support, guide, and track your team’s reflective practices.
  • Digital Training Courses – Step-by-step tutorials and professional development programs that show how to embed and evidence the planning cycle.
  • Printer Packs and Photo Templates – Visual tools that connect experiences, outcomes, and reflections in one clear format.

These tools make every stage of the cycle — observe, plan, implement, evaluate, and reflect — simple, visible, and connected to daily practice.

2026 Central Outdoor Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary - Hard Cover Spiral Bound
Butlers Diaries

I've been purchasing Program and reflection diaries from Butlers for many years, and I wouldn't purchase them from anywhere else. They have everything you need to do a complete program. The new column on the end "Extension experiences etc is a great addition. The jotters notebok is a good size for carrying arund through out the day, to make notes, write ideas and write brief observations.

Best Reflection Diary Ever!

This book is the best and most simple diary to follow to do my reflecting on everything. So pleased to be able to use it.

Rachel Patchett
2024 6 Month Weekly Programming and Reflection Child Educator Diary
Best thing ever

The Exceeding Guidance for the National Quality Standard: Evidence Summary is a really great book for centres that repeat on one standards instead of exploring others to make the childcare place a better place for children. The resources in this book are a really big help in order to meet our standards.
