Plans to get child star performing (6)
I believe the answer is:
charts
'plans' is the definition.
(charting is a kind of planning)
'get child star performing' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'child' becomes 'ch'.
'performing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'star' is an anagram of 'arts'.
'ch' put next to 'arts' is 'CHARTS'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for charts that I've seen before include "Blueprints" , "Sheets of tables, graphs or diagrams" , "Maps for captains" , "Starch (anag)" , "Maps to aid navigation" .)
