Advice from Home Educators
"For us I wish I had started his scrap book diary at the start, I love to look back at it now as well as add to it, it's something I often share with family too as we do so much I forget to tell them! For academics keep it simple and relax! Keep it simple and individual to your child, I went back to key stage one and moved forward covering any gaps. I don't use national curriculum as I find it a little to fixed but it's a good place to start when figuring out strengths and weaknesses."

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'.
Would like some over 5 year olds to join in on our days out. I currently home educate my 8 and 2 year old. Once a primary school teacher, now an advocate of Self Directed Education. Not an Ofsted registered childminder as a result but I do have a current DBS certificate. I use non violent communication, PET problem solving strategies for conflict and would like to try sociocratic processes for planning our days.
