Dig another, deeper hole, alongside it, and use a pump to pump it out.

And then the next time the OP gets "a few rainy days"?

Are you suggesting they build a paddling pool next to the shed, old chap?

It turns into a pool now , water not draining...

Not a huge surprise given the amount of rain we’ve been having. The water table will have risen

Maybe wait a few weeks

A large plastic sheet would've helped...but it's a bit late for that now.
How far down is the clay subsoil?

It's normal building practice, when a foundation is flooded, to give the water somewhere even deeper to go, from where it can be more easily pumped or even bucketed out - old chap.

You just joined the forum idiots. It didn't take you long, did it?

Simply because it will be very difficult to get the water into the bucket, and even more difficult to get all the water out, old bean. Dig a small sump alongside, and all the water will very quickly drain away, into it, from where it can easily be removed - simples for most people.

sounds complicated for me....then again, i'd have seen the weather coming and covered it over. No need for another 'ole, 'arold.

The situation is, what the situation is at present - Odd Man, and the easy way to drain the water out, is to give the water a deeper hole to run into. Standard hydro engineering practice.
