Established in February 2003, the Foundation Stage Forum has long been a platform for a vibrant online community of professionals involved with the Foundation Stage. With the advent of the new EYFS this community has become more active than ever.
Come and join a warm and personal support network of reception teachers, nursery practitioners and registered childminders. Discuss issues, seek (and give) advice, find and download articles and resources – or just put your feet up and have a chat!
Whether experienced or new to the profession, members find inspiration, a place to share ideas, and a personal and friendly environment to meet with like-minded colleagues from around the country.
Slough’s Early Year’s team has arranged free access to this resource for all its providers. As Slough practitioners you will also find your own local forum area, and your early year’s team will be able to keep in touch with you via email, letting you know of events and news from your local authority.
Joining is simple, visit www.eyfs.info, and click on ‘Create Account’ at the top of the page.
