WELCOME TO PARENTS FREEDOM STUDENT HOMESTAY AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE AGENCY

Parents Freedom was originally formed as an au-pair agency in 1996. Since the expansion of the European Union, free movement to the United Kingdom by members of these countries made it easier for individuals to become employed within the mainstream workforce thus diminishing the need to work as au-pairs. We later continued our work with overseas students as local coordinators in co-operation with French schools arranging placements with host families.

The transition over the years was made easy because of our extensive involvement as Trainers, Teachers of English as a Foreign Language, hosting students and arranging student placements. We continue to offer a service of the highest standard where both the student and host families are treated with understanding, trust and integrity.

We offer accommodation with families covering the catchment areas of Redbridge, Waltham Forest and from time to time Newham. These catchment areas are part of East London with excellent transport services locally and direct routes to Central London and beyond..

Our aim is to offer students the opportunity to study and live in a location which is less expensive but equally as lively, and culturally diverse as Central London. Excellent facilities and amenities are within easy reach, some of which include libraries, restaurants, cafes, swimming pools, skating rinks, bowling alleys, night clubs, athletic clubs and for those who may be interested in horse riding ( not found in central London) the local club can be quite fun. Our shopping centres, normally referred to as High Streets are equipped with everything from clothing stores to supermarkets. These can be particularly lively on weekends when the younger shoppers have been set free from the rigours of school.

We hope you will enjoy your stay in London with the knowledge that you will be well looked after by your Agency as well as your Host Families.
