The back catalogue of Early Education Journals can be accessed via the members’ area of our app – see below.
You can manage your membership via a self-service app.Using this app you can:
- view and update your details
- renew your membership if paying by card or set up a direct debit if you have individual membership or are the designated billing contact for a group membership
- change your membership plan
- register for updates from local branches (these may be referred to as groups or teams in places on the app)
- access the back catalogue of Early Education Journals
- book on events and access the discounted rate for members where available.
If you have not previously been a member of Early Education, you can set up an account to book on to events, purchase back copies of the Journal, or sign-up to become a member.
If you became a member after 15 December 2021, you will already have registered your account. If you have forgotten your password, just use the “Forgotten password” option on the login page.
If you became an Early Education member before 15 December 2021 and have not previously logged in, your details have been transferred to the new database, but you need to register before you can access your account. Here’s how to do that:
- Navigate to our membership app
- Then click on “Click here to login”
- Then select: “Don’t have an account? Register” at the very bottom of the pop-up box which will appear on your screen
- Provide the details requested to allow the system to match with your database account – the most important field is your email, as this is how the system will identify you with your existing account.
- A verification code will be sent to your email to complete account activation.
Once you have entered the verification code, your login has been successfully created and you can log in at any time to access the members’ app.
If you are having any issues with logging in or accessing your account, please let us know and we can gladly assist.

Yes, you need to log in to your account to book a place on an event – or, you can register with a new account to book if you do not already have one. The booking system will allow you to select the appropriate rate (eg member or non-member) once you are logged in to the account associated with your membership. If you are unable to select the member rate once logged in and believe you should be able to – please contact us to confirm your membership is current. Please note: if you register a new account, this will not automatically link to any previous membership – we’ll be happy to help sort this for you.
If you want to book online events or recordings, you can purchase these via our app.
Details of how to access your booked event will be sent directly to you via email. Access will be provided via a direct Zoom or Teams link; without the need to log in to our online learning platform, which is no longer in use.
