About

Child Led Ed

Worried you're not doing enough? Almost every home-educating parent asks it β€” and the truth is there's usually far more learning happening than you can see. It hides inside ordinary days: the questions, the words, the problem-solving, the patterns your child reaches for without being asked. Child Led Ed is a calm home-education companion that helps you notice that learning, understand why it matters, and gently build on it β€” until spotting it becomes second nature. CAPTURE THE MOMENT Snap a photo or jot a quick note when your child is deep in something. No forms, no marking β€” just a moment, saved. SEE WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON Child Led Ed helps you notice the learning inside that moment β€” the curiosity, vocabulary, reasoning and skills already there β€” so you can trust it and know what to try next. WATCH IT GROW INTO A STORY Related moments link into threads, so a passing interest in bugs becomes a clear story of growing observation and scientific thinking. Real development over time β€” without a single grade. A SCRAPBOOK YOU'LL WANT TO KEEP Every child gets a warm, book-style scrapbook of their moments, quotes and next steps β€” lovely to flick back through, and yours to keep. FIND YOUR PEOPLE NEARBY A community map shows home-ed groups, meet-ups and family-friendly spots near you β€” with details families confirm between them, like whether a park has toilets, shade or parking. CALM EVIDENCE FOR THE DAY YOU'RE ASKED If your council asks how home education is going, Child Led Ed collates the progression from the pages you've approved β€” clear notes you write your own response from. No scramble, no jargon, and nothing shared without your say-so. BUILT BY A PARENT AND TEACHER Child Led Ed was made by a former teacher and home-ed parent who wanted to help families see and trust the learning already in their days β€” not add another thing to get "right". Your family's data is yours. You choose what's ever shared, children's information stays private, and you can export or permanently delete a child's records at any time. The local map and finding home-ed groups near you are free to use. Child Led Ed Premium unlocks the scrapbook, the noticing that reads each moment, and the community. It is an optional auto-renewing subscription: - Monthly - GBP 3.99 per month - Yearly - GBP 29.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
