Advice from Home Educators
"First decide what sort of interest your child has - that way you can better use your money for things that are important to your child and that will help towards any planning you do and the long term outcome. There's so many home ed classes out there and it can cost money, sometimes you just need to sit and think what you or your child want out of this education and prioritise them first."

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.
