Advice from Home Educators
"I'd suggest not trying to do too much. Burn out can happen very quickly. The first year is hard and like lots of people, I tried to do everything. Lots of projects, every group and visit available. I was driving for hours and we weren't enjoying it all."

Tips from us
Read our FAQ and the legal stuff. Knowing your rights is VERY important.
Are you a child minder willing to care for a home educated child? Add your details here.
Please note: Educational Freedom takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information listed about each childminder. We recommend caution and common sense when choosing a childminder. Please do your own research and checks before employing a minder.
A childminder can not be legally responsible for providing home education for your child, however, it is acceptable for them to oversee 'homework'.
I am in the process of registering with Ofsted to return to childminding after 4 years as Deputy Manager of a local nursery. I will be providing wrap around care for our local school from September 2018 and will have availability during the day term-time and school holidays for children from age 5 upwards. I have two children of my own and am a qualified Early Years teacher.
