Registration and Subscription

Subscribing to the Foundation Stage Forum costs £20 per year. This gives the member full access to the forums and to the growing number of articles and other resources in the forum.

But, perhaps most importantly, it gives them membership of a fast growing community and support network of professionals involved in this most captivating stage of a child's development - the Foundation Stage.

The Foundation Stage Forum was launched to counter the isolation felt by many practitioners and teachers in Early Years education, and to provide a home to come to, with problems, with exhilarating experiences, or just for some quiet reading. This objective has been met with huge enthusiasm, and is best exemplified by viewing our Lessons From Geese

To subscribe, we take you through a simple online registration procedure. You can pay online with a credit or debit card, in which case your membership will become valid immediately - or you can choose to pay by cheque, in which case your membership will become valid when your cheque has been received and processed.

If you are intending to claim back your subscription fee, and are paying by post, just let us know that you'd like a receipt! If you pay online a receipt is automatically sent to your email address on completion.

The formal Terms, Conditions and Benefits, which you will be asked to agree to when you take out a subscription, may be found here

County Membership Scheme

We have recently introduced a scheme whereby EYDCPs, LEAs and other organisations can purchase membership for all the Foundation Stage professionals in their area for a single annual payment. If you belong to an organisation which may be interested in participating, please for more information.

A growing number of LEAs, EYDCPs and other early years organisations are paying for their providers to subscribe to the Foundation Stage Forum. Check whether yours is amongst them!
