What is different about Young Learners’ homestay (10 – 15 years)?
A Young Learners’ Homestay provides: 10-12 year olds may not leave their accommodation without the supervision of an adult 13-15 may only do so with the written permission of their parent or guardian. If they have permission to go out unaccompanied, they must be back home by 22.00 hours. Our homestays have the number of our 24-hour emergency telephone should they become concerned at the late return of their student. Young Learners will normally share a twin-bedded room with another student of the same sex who has a similar age but, where possible, not of the same mother tongue. Homestay will attend to their students’ laundry as they would for members of their own family without extra charge. All homestay for Young Learner students are required to sign a declaration, under the Children Act 1989, stating that there is no reason why they, or any member of their family over 16 years of age, should not take care of Young Learner students.
