we currently have a japanese student staying with us agree its quite good money this is our first one he goes home tommorow been here 2 weeks we provide all meals and snacks usually ceral and toast in the mornings wich he helps himself too a packed lunch and and the typical menu has been spag bol, curry , shepards pie (wich he thought was the bees knees, at least he appriciates my cooking lol), potatoe bake, chicken salad and its been great having him here my son has also enjoyed having a playstation buddy. i find the japanese people so polite and courteous we havent done anything special but included him on just doing normal family things such as walks in the park with the dog and fishing on the weekend

Just wondering do all the host families have to be crb checked for child safety?I am interested in doing this maybe next year and have crb clearance cos of my job.I presume all adults in thehouse would have to be crb cleared

i suppose it would depend on how old your students were if they are over 18 and at uni you may not need to be

Hi saverstacy,
You are good having six girls as well as 3 your own 3 children. You must be a chilled out person !. I am quite chilled out depending on what time of the month !!. It is great they have their own bathroom.
I will have students through till December as they have long stay ones. I prefer the older ones as they are more independant and do seem to make friends easier and go out. I love the ones who dont eat !! who dont come home for tea ! I am just being mean !!.
Sometimes when you fancy peace and quiet , or a good fight with your husband!! its a bit difficult.!

Don't forget that if you are claiming benefits they have to be informed that you have paying guests. Also check that you are covered on your home contents insurance.
