Home Education Support for children and families in Cornwall.
NILU is a growing and evolving vision for home educated kids and often neurodivergent children who deserve an education that celebrates who they are.
COMING SOON>>> Creative group sessions for home-educated children especially those who are neurodivergent or sensitive. At NILU, we offer low-demand, low-commitment group sessions designed to support children in a way that feels safe, fun, and flexible. Children can try different sessions, explore what suits them, and join for individual activities or full days. We welcome all ages and neurotypes, with small groups and experienced learning facilitators on hand. Parents/carers or PA's are invited to stay to join in and connect, or work while remaining nearby if needed. Where children can feel seen, supported, and free to be themselves. NILU stands for safety, creativity, and connection because every child deserves an education that honours their uniqueness.
Welcome to NILU
Our sessions are shaped with safety, creativity, and connection at the heart. Children can explore different groups to find the right fit, regardless of age. We keep groups small to ensure a calm environment with the right level of adult facilitation and support.
Parents are welcome to relax with a cup of tea, connect with others, or catch up on work while your child feels safe and supported nearby. Gentle, low-demand approach to home education support, designed to honour each child's unique rhythm.
Whether you're looking for relaxed group sessions, creative play, or meaningful connection, our sessions are:
✨ Fun and low-pressure
✨ Open to all children, with a focus on neurodivergent needs
✨ Flexible – book individual sessions or full days
✨ Supportive of sensitive children who may be falling through the cracks
A New Vision for Neuro-Inclusive Learning
At NILU (Neuro-Inclusive Learning Umbrella CIC), we offer a heart-centered, neuroaffirming space for children who learn outside the mainstream. Our home education programs support neurodivergent children through creative, sensory-friendly classes with inspired, attuned educators. We provide a weekly timetable of subsidised small-group sessions, including: • Coaching in literacy and numeracy • Art, movement, music, and nature-based learning • Spaces for regulation, rest, and expression. Every session is rooted in a deep understanding of sensory needs, trauma-informed care, and the beauty of neurodiversity. NILU is not just a place of learning it’s a place where your child can feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Parents can also receive much needed support, nurture, respite and understanding :)
