Which Magazine to subscribe to?

**Stanfield** · 04-11-2008, 12:26 PM

Hello,

I am really interested in subscribing to a childcare magazine and was wondering if any of you do, or can recommend one that is suitable to childminders?

Thanks, Lucy

I subscribed to 'Creative Steps'

Sept/Oct issue had - about harvest(crafts), paper crafts,halloween baking for kids,crafts around the world(mexico this time),Diwali(info,cooking,crafts),book reviews,comps, Islam, Eid,weather stations and loads more!

Have used some ideas and can link to EYFS, I am pleased with it.

£26.70 for 6 issues (1 year)

Anyone with other ideas?

I subscribe to nursery world and professional child care. I prefer child care as it is tailored more towards childminders, however nursery world is a good read as well, I cannot decide which one I like most so have to have both

Ooohhh.... I just had a look at the Creative Steps magazine. Looks really good! Might have to subscribe myself!

**Pedagog** · 04-11-2008, 12:54 PM

I don't subscribe, but I often buy "Early Years Educator" "Nursery plus" or "Childcare", also I occasionally buy "Nursery world".

I subscribe to "Junior plus" magazine and "Children and Young People Now".

I have not had "Creative steps", so can not comment, but it sounds good.

Love em all

It's a shame you can't buy it in the shops. Really can't afford to subscribe this month. Really want this months copy! Lol. There's none on ebay either

**Stanfield** · 04-11-2008, 03:05 PM

Well, I must say the creative steps looks brilliant, although I was looking for an all round magazine on childcare I may have to get this one too!
Thanks

Where can you buy these magazines as a one off? I have struggled to find any in the shops?

I subscribe to Creative Steps, Nuresry Education Plus and get Childcare and Nursery world through my dh's work.

I subscribe to Creative Steps and it always lands on my doorstep the day before planning - eerie!

I am also looking at Scholastics and I understand it comes in 3 sections and the one for Early Years does all the planning and linking for you - brill!

I also buy EYE which is full of information and some ideas - great read.

Creative Steps has to be subscribed to but I get the other 2 from Borders

If you are insured with Morton Mitchel (sp?) you get creative steps as an email version! I just save it to my computer and it saves all the clutter!

**lissy** · 15-11-2008, 05:02 PM

Monkey and I were talking about this earlier today... we've only had 2 as well.

Must be a problem their end, as we're getting the newsletters regularly.

**manjay** · 15-11-2008, 07:41 PM

I had my Nov/Dec Creative Steps through the post a few weeks ago. I also subscribe to Nursey Ed and Practical Pre school. The others are all available in our local WHS and I just buy if I like the look of them.

**madasahatter** · 15-11-2008, 10:08 PM

I'm another one who subscribes to Creative Steps. I love the way there are activities for all ages.
I also subscribe to Early Years Educator and to Professional Childcare. From a childminding point of view I prefer Childcare though EYE has had some useful articles for my studying.
