Advice from Home Educators
"Don't jump in the deep end immediately and start schoolwork. Give your child time to relax and become happy again then start seeing how they learn. (A suitable education doesn't have to look like school)."

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 am a Ofsted registered childminder with a background in English teaching. I live with my 3.5 year old and am passionate about children’s rights and facilitating child led exploration of the world around us. We love science, woodlands and crafts. We have a wealth of wooden open ended toys, and would like to build raised beds in the garden to grow food plus do lots of trips out to parks, woodland and museums. Foodwise, we are a plant-based setting and I have plans to do forest school training and move the project to an outdoor based one in the future. All ages welcome, please call to arrange a visit.
