Advice from Home Educators
"Know the law. The number of people I see on HE groups who did not know they don't have to have visits or provide evidence of work etc. is astonishing. To me, knowing what your rights are is probably the most important starting point then at least if (when) the LA/ police/ random strangers decide to push their luck you are confident in your knowledge of your rights/ responsibilities."

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 care for children from 0+ and have four of my own children who are 11yrs, 8yrs, 5yrs & 9months who are all home educated ☺️ I am Ofsted registered. We have a few animals in the house so unfortunately can’t care for those with animal allergies but will happily care for those with food intolerances/allergies and do have a little experience here as my youngest is currently dairy and soya free.
