Excitement for the fun and learning experience, pride that your child has reached an age where there are going to be independent and of course as a parent you may feel nervous that your child will be safe and in a loving and caring home.We have hosted high profile students before and we are happy to liaise with security and the local embassy in relation to security issues if needs be.We have hosted many students over the past 10 years, privately and through agencies. We are happy to offer you the contact details of former student families who have kindly agreed to act as a reference for us. We live in a very safe area with a beautiful network of neighbours and friends. You can rest assured that your son or daughter will be cared for with the same level of care we treat our own children.ACTIVITIES:We are members of Tennis Club and Golf Club, we visit these regularly. Eddie plays football locally and can organise membership with local clubs.Please let me know what activities interest you and we will make sure to organise it for you. We feel that activities are very important for students to integrate and make friends.FOOD: All food is freshly prepared. I make fresh bread each day. The food is healthy, organic where possible. We have a small vegetable patch and free range hens. Of course a Friday pizza and Häagen-Dazs watching a movie is also an option!ANIMALS: While we have a lot of animals, students who do not like animals do not need to be close to them or interact with them. We have a flock of chickens which lay eggs and we breed from them, there is a great variety of colours and breeds. We have a pet sheep called Cisco who we reared as an orphan lamb. We have lots of horses and ponies. Each week the children go horse riding. During the summer we aim to do 2/3 activities per week, visiting local attractions and sports activities. We are open to suggestions from our students.
