Subscribing to the Foundation Stage Forum (the FSF) costs £20 (plus VAT) per year, but if your Local Authority subscribe (see 'LA Membership Scheme' below) then your access is free!
As a member you have full access to the forums and to the growing number of articles and resources on the FSF. You’ll also become part of a community and support network of professionals involved in children’s education.

Join the FSF now!

The Foundation Stage Forum was launched to counter the isolation felt by many practitioners and teachers, to provide a haven in which to share problems, celebrate exhilarating experiences, or to visit for some quiet reading. This objective has been met with huge enthusiasm and is best exemplified by viewing our Lessons From Geese.


You can join 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.
To join, click on your authority in the table below to find information and contact details.

If your LA is listed below and you would like access to the LA forum area and its related content then please email customer.service@eyfs.info with your Ofsted Registration number and we can add you to the LA scheme. As an LA member you will also receive a £20 discount when you purchase or renew your first package.
