Are you home-educating your child?
Would a few hours of calm, focused time for your child be helpful while you work, attend appointments, or take some time to yourself?
Whether you're working from home, running errands, or just need a few hours of respite, we're here to provide that space to you and your child.
Are you a home-educated young person?
Are you looking for a space to work independently, but with others nearby?
Want to make friends, share ideas, and enjoy a respectful, quiet space where everyone is learning something different?
This might be the space you’ve been looking for.
You can meet other home-educated children who are all working on their own thing.
Perhaps you may even share some interests or end up helping the person sat next to you.
What can independent learning look like?
We understand that home-education doesn’t follow one set path - and that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. In our space, learning might look like a child with headphones on, listening to a science podcast while sketching. Someone else might be working through a maths workbook, writing a story, crocheting, or fully absorbed in an online course. Every child’s learning style is unique, and we welcome that. As long as it’s calm, respectful, and independent, we support each child in using the space however works best for them.
Prices, timings & logistics
Each 3-hour session costs £15 per child. Some specialist sessions (like themed clubs or workshops) may be slightly more - these will be clearly marked in advance. There’s no minimum booking and no commitment - just book the sessions that suit your family. Sessions run in either the morning or afternoon, depending on the day and venue. Children can attend multiple sessions per week, but no child may attend more than 18 hours per week, in line with national guidance for unregistered educational settings.
We gently encourage families to book just one session per day.
Three hours of focused, independent learning is often the perfect amount - and doubling up can be quite tiring for some children (especially those who are still adjusting to group settings). We want every child to feel successful and comfortable - not overloaded.
