Early Years Magazine Subscriptions

[Guest]

Can anyone recommend a good Early Years Magazine?

I have just subscribed to a new one called 'Teach Nursery' for three months to see what its like.

Just wondered what other professionals are reading - interested in Nursery age group topics and activities.

I subscribe to Early Years Educator which has given me some good activities over the years, even though it is monthly I still find it a job to read them and study and work though.

Nursery world ( though I think you can access most of the articles online) and Early Years Educator ( you can only access their articles online if you take out a full subscription)

I'm a Nursery World girl and have had Early Years Educator in the past, both good. A colleague has just finished a three month trial of Teach Nursery and said it was ok but more aimed at schools

I have decided to stop having any magazines as I find the forum MUCH more useful!

Hi ,

Are these still the best 2 magazines? which one do you rate more?

I like them both, but buy the EYE over the counter as that is much cheaper than a subscription. Nursery world I have a subscription for as it is cheaper that way; it is 'friendlier' in layout and the language it uses, EYE is rather more 'formal'.

Nursery world for over thirty years now.

Have it delivered.

Funnily enough we were looking at the most recent one today.

Going to investigate the EYE one now, as always looking for new innovations, ideas, etc.

I use Teach Nursery and it's a brilliant publication. Love the different features and the spotlight on an outstanding setting in each issue is a great read for inspiration.

I like Practical Pre-School, you have to subscribe I think as I've never seen it in a shop.

I buy EYE and Teach Nursery from WH Smith if there's something that 'floats my boat'

Hello,

I was just thinking about subscribing to an early years magazine and then saw this thread, what a coincidence!! I had decided on EYE and now I have seen they do a triple pack offer EYE, Practical Preschool and Nursery World .......now what do I do??

Maybe my preschool (committee run) would pay towards some of the cost??

Or I could send you some of my pile of unread 'trade mags'

I was just wondering which was best for a Preschool (as I have recently received flyers for both Practical Pre-school and EYE)? I've only ever really read Nursery World.

 

So, for a packaway, term-time Preschool... EYE, Practical Pre-school, Nursery World - or something else?

I am packaway preschool and would go for Practical Preschool - I find the activity ideas sections are differentiated better than in EYE which seem to be aimed at the reception aged child - but that's just my opinion.

There is a lot more 'theory' in EYE too, it depends on what you are hoping to get out of the magazine.

Thanks Thumperrabbit I just want to keep up to date with happenings, and get good ideas for practice really. I know I can do all that online these days, but although I love a bit of tech, I also love an old-fashioned flick through a magazine now and again!
