You Can Sit With Us - Home Ed Community

04/02/2026

We've still got some spaces available 😀

🚁 THIS ONE’S GOING TO FILL UP FAST 🚁

We are so excited to announce that Devon Air Ambulance are coming to to deliver a special age-appropriate talk for home educated children ✨

This is such a brilliant opportunity for our home ed community - giving children the kind of experience they might usually only get in a mainstream school setting… and it’s just the first of many exciting things we’ve got planned 👀

What to expect:

🧑‍🚁 A friendly, child-appropriate talk
🎥 A short presentation or video
🧸 Meet Ambrose Teddy, who flies on every mission
🪖 Try on uniforms & pilot helmets
⭐ Stickers for the children
☕ Tea, coffee, squash & nibbles provided

⏰ 10:30 – 12:30
📍 Eli House
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents stay on site
👶 All ages welcome

⚠️ IMPORTANT
There are ONLY 20 CHILD SPACES AVAILABLE - once they’re gone, they’re gone.
We already know this one is going to be popular, so please don’t wait.

💷 £6 per child (adults attend free)
👉 This session is priced per child due to the extra organisation involved, rather than 'per family' like our normal sessions.

❗️Just to note — the helicopter won’t be attending (it’s busy saving lives!), but the experience will still be amazing.

We honestly can’t wait for this one — it’s going to be so special 💛

👉 Book now to avoid disappointment

Welcome to all our new followers - let us introduce ourselves again 🫶🏼

We're Adam and Caron - home educating parents to a bloody brilliant kid called Autumn, and paw-rents to Murphy the dog.

We created You Can Sit With Us back in early 2025 as a drop off, co-learning space for home educated children. The best way to describe it was: like co-working, but for kids. Businesses don't always go to plan though, and sometimes we just have to let it grow organically in the direction it wants to go - and that's okay! So now, we run social coffee mornings for home educating families to come and have a cuppa, let their kids play & feel like they belong to a little community.

We're also building an online community for other businesses who offer home educating sessions/events to advertise.

We are doing so much behind the scenes to make sure that what we offer is welcoming for everyone. The clue is in the name: 'you can sit with us'. No cliques, no judging, no sitting alone. Just a bloody lovely group of families who are ready to welcome anyone in ✌🏼

We've got lots coming up, including our first session of the year on the 9th February at the gorgeous

We've then got an incredible guest speaker from Devon Air Ambulance who is coming along to our session on the 23rd Feb at to give the children an insight to the work they do.

We've been in contact with other organisations to get them on board too - watch this space! There's oodles of opportunities for our children and we're just trying to make it all easier to access.

Home educating families:
Come along with the kids, have a cuppa and a biscuit and make yourself at home with us.

Not sure whether home educating is right for you yet?
Come to one of our sessions - ask other families how it works for them and find out if it's right for you.

Businesses:
Get in touch with us - come along to our sessions and we can organise for you to chat to home educating families about what you can offer for them.

Booking link below - we hope you join us soon 🫶🏼

We've got some BIG EXCITING NEWS!

Here's a hint...🚁👩🏼‍✈️

A warm welcome - always. Come on in, grab a cuppa and chat with other home educating families in the area. We always bring games, lego and a few crafts for children to keep them busy. Often, we'll have a film playing on the projector, or some music in the background.
Sometimes we'll have guest speakers come in, other home ed businesses or charities to come and chat with us about what they do.

We always bring our community book swap (Autumn's Library) so that you can take some new books to read. We're also working on a community pantry and clothes swap too.

But most importantly, you'll be welcomed in. There's no cliques here and no sitting alone (unless you want to!).
Home ed is hard enough as it is - we're here to make things a little bit easier whilst you're finding your feet.
