Verona Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I used to have Nursery World quite a few years ago but for some reason stopped having it. I have just received a letter asking whether i would like to take up an offer of Nursery World, eye and Practical Preschool (3 for the price of 2) £73 per year. What publications do you have and why? We are a term time Pre-school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narnia Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 same here.............hundreds of pounds worth of magazines over the years (possibly thousands actually) and I had a HUGE purge over the christmas break.............and realised that I didn't need them ( evidenced by, like Sunnyday).......many of them still being in their plastic wrappers. So, I took out any nice posters..........and ditched 12.........TWELVE big bin bags full of stuff ( all my uni paperwork too, plus all the handouts our tutor used to weigh us down with). It felt good and I am spending the money I save on decent coffee for break times.Win/Win 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillpen Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm so glad it isn't just me!! I too had tons of them and lots still in wrappers and I stopped the subscription a year ago. This forum has been way more valuable in terms of specific advice and I wouldn't swap for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 You are right that's probably why I stopped Nursery World few years ago. I remember the piles of magazines some still in the cellophane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good morning! We, at FSF, take Nursery world (in print and online) and EYE and several others that I can't remember (as I am at home!) I also check all the news feeds and important info sites 3 days a week (I work 3 days at FSF) so you can be pretty confident that if something is occurring I will post for you about it on the forum. What you might miss is the activity posters and ideas - although with child led learning those things are becoming less significant than they were several years ago. We have a strong resources section on FSF and also some topic and theme ideas if you get stuck. Maybe try the online only versions of the magazines - then you will be able to read all the articles in full (some are not accessible freely) and you can also download any handy resources from their sites too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKeyteach Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yes I see NW online. Recently cancelled EYE which I did enjoy reading but was incredibly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just a little plea, do make use of your local recycling organisation, freecycle, trasnothing or whatever. I advertised 2 years worth of EY magazines which were a few years old and had a good few requests for them. I do the same with my gardening mags. I just can't bear to throw them away if someone else may find them useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I should maybe have done that................but some of mine went back to the 1990's, i kid you not and once I had made the decision to get rid,, it had to be there and then, or they would have stayed in my house. I have more squirrel DNA than is good for me. I find it really, really hard to let go of stuff, so this was quite astonishing for me. Now.......................all the reference books have to go..................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
