Subscribing to the Foundation Stage Forum costs £20 (plus VAT) per year (may be free for some users; see 'LA Membership Scheme' below). 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.
You may already be a member and just wish to upgrade to a paid subscription so that you can access subscriber only parts of the Foundation Stage Forum. Perhaps you’re receiving newsletters from us but can’t access links to these subscriber only pages. If this is the case, all you need do is log in, and when you get to subscriber only pages you’ll be asked to take out a subscription. If you can’t remember your log in details, just contact us.

You can join the forum for free if your Local Authority is a member of our LA Membership Scheme.
The FSF operates a scheme whereby the early years teams working in Local Authorities can purchase membership for all the EYFS providers in their area for a single annual payment. This scheme includes a private forum area only visible to your registered members and a bulk email function to allow quick and easy communication with them. If you belong to an organisation which may be interested in participating, please contact us for more information.
