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'.
We are a registered childminders and nursery on domestic premises. We follow gentle parenting and learning through play principles with well qualified and experienced staff. We are currently trying to increase our forest school timetable too. We have older children before and after school and are happy to have home educated children up to the age of 11 during the day too. I have four children of my own, and, although the eldest two currently attend school, I am pro home educating and would do so in a heartbeat if school wasn’t the right place for them. They just happen to enjoy it at the moment. All files can be found on our website.
