Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Morning all i am the chair of committee run pre-school I am looking to improving (putting in place) our staff development plans. I am trying to get the staff to see that development doesn't mean expensive courses it can be reading, mentoring, and on job training etc can anyone point me in the direction of some good free/cheap magazines, websites which i can use as a basis to create some documents for them. thanks gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_22029 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You can subscribe to nursery world magazine and they send email alert with headlines. But some of the stuff about good practice you do have to pay a subscription for. It is a good magazine with easy to read articles, posters and tips. I subscribe to a magazine called Early Years Educator (EYE) I think it is a little more indepth than Nursery World but that is my opinion. If your local authority subscribes to this forum then all staff can access it for free so check that our. the Website below is holds a lot of info. If you go into it it will give you links to lots of others. www.foundationyears.org.uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There are lots of brilliant articles on this site - check out the home page - if you can print them they can form the basis for some great in house training/discussion.....

AnonyMouse_22106 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 'Teach Nursery' is also another magazine which is a little pricey £3.99 but for committee run pre-schools they have relevant articles. I agree with LKeyteach; EYE can sometimes be a little too heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_55948 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you are a member of Pre-School Learning Alliance, they offer free CPD courses for all staff through their 'Educare' training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Teach Nursery is fab and I subscribe to it. I pay £9.99 every 3 months for it, but i think they do offers for settings that take multiple subscriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
