Child Care Mag/Publications

[Heaven Scent]

Just thinking now that I'm getting back on my feet after my very lean year that I would now start getting a couple of mags again but I don't want to sign up for a year just yet and was thinking of ordering them into my local news agents (FAO AJS - its just across the road between Ceramic Experience and the entrance to the Summerfield and in front of the pub :laughing: )

I was just wondering how much each one is an which one you prefer - and whether its monthly or weekly - If you pay annually the price is on the front cover - I'm in a tizz - I now get Montessori International @ £5.00 every 3 mths and used to get Childcare paid in advance for that - Oh What to do? What to do??

Thanks

How much is that? n how often

[madredann]

It is a little expensive but if you subscribe you often get an incentive - free books etc. It is monthly http://www.scholastic.co.uk that is main page and then click magazines. Loads of activities links to EYFS and planning it helps make things a little easier sometimes their are codes in mags will have a look and let you know of any in a mo

I get creative steps but that is only available for a years subscription (about £25 for 6 issues). It's very good as it has craft ideas for all ages.

It is expensive dont think I paid that much last year, the beauty is I suppose that you would get plenty of material if you just subscribed for a year and then re-used it. The only code I have come across so far is L295 at checkout that will get you some free stickers. That has to be used before 28/2/2010 though. I will have a look see if I can find any other codes

If you join the Montessori Schools Association at this link:

http://www.montessori.org.uk/msa/msa/schools_registration

I stated that I was a childminder using Montessori theory in my setting, then you get the magazine FREE every quarter :clapping: and you get a discounted rate should you want to go to any of the seminars in London and refresh your knowledge (They are brill.... I go 2/3 times a year and put it down as an expense!!)

Now you can afford another subscription!!!!!

I have just signed up for nursery world at £47 for the year DD but it was a special offer, if you signal an interest to them about joining but then say it's too much but can you be on their database for further offers, they keep sending you cheaper and cheaper offers until you bite!!

I have recently had my Child Care through the post so the new issue should be in the shops now. Nursery World is weekly but not sure what day it arrives. I have just cancelled my Child Care subscription as I flicked through this issue and it didn't interest me at all. However I think that is now because I am looking at the publications from the point of view of a student and the material is not suitable for my needs. I prefer EYE at the minute and quite often pick up Nursery World.

I think Childcare could do so much more but I still get it for the pullout pages. I get NW too when I am attracted by the main feature but I don't rate it at all generally, not like how it used to be 8 years ago.

I get Creative Minds free with my MM insurance and that is fab.

Interested in the Montessori mag, going for a scooch.

**ETA - if you click the magazine tab at the side is a free trial issue banner, click that and you can save it as a pdf to your PC :)

[dobby]

Childcare magazine does like to hear from readers about the magazine contents and what folks like/dislike/would want to see included so it is worth letting them know. The pull out pages were redesigned from the January issue onwards to contain more "quick and easy" activities and clearer linking to EYFS so let them know what you think :)

I signed up for Nursery World but haven't had a copy yet.... my local shop doesn't have any in stock to browse and select..... If I'm driving in to town to view them I might as well pay for one a wekk after parking charges and petrol!!
