Information and support for all Home Educators in the UK
Advice from Home Educators
"HE is all about the family playing the central role. That's hard to focus on sometimes when we have so many demands on our time and energy. Relaxing and doing a few focussed, interesting activities is better than trying to have the social life of a school environment. Many of our best HE friends live a long way from us and we certainly don't socialise from 9-3 every day and that's ok."

Read our FAQ and the legal stuff. Knowing your rights is VERY important.

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'.
Childminder for 20 years experience from newborn to late teens, special needs experience. Currently home ed ing our 7 year old and loving it. Our setting is run by myself and my husband so we are busy at times but have the ability to give more support and one on one time when needed. I am training as a forest school leader so we do spend time outdoors in the local woodland.
