Accommodation

Information we need to place your students with the most suitable host families

1) Allergies

Animals: Allergies to animals/pets: please be as specific as possible. Cats and dog hair have different allergenic properties and many people are NOT allergies to both (or to  "all pets"!)

Dust allergies: the very majority of English houses have carpets in most rooms, an almost always in bedrooms. Students who have dust allergies should bring antihistamines. 

2) Medical Information

This covers both physical and psychological conditions. 

We will ask questions and see additional information if we have any concerns about the student/leaders capacity to participate in lessons/activities or stay with a host family as a result. 

3) Dietary Preferences

Please tell us not only if the student does not eat something but also if they follow a specific named diet as a result so we can inform the host clearly and simply e.g. no meat = vegetarian.

We charge a supplement for “Special Diets” that we pass on to the host. This is to cover the costs of any specific foods required to meet dietary requirements, and to compensate the host for any extra care and time needing to be taken when storing/preparing food.

CES charges a dietary supplement for vegetarians, vegans and those with exclusive diets such as lactose intolerance , gluten free and some food allergies. Halal and Kosher diets can be requested but may not be possible, but no-pork can be offered without a supplement.

Please note that the late or non-declaration of any of the above information may mean we cannot fulfil requests or result in additional costs.

Advice on Accommodation Groupings

Please note that we have a limited number of hosts who have triple or quadruple rooms available, so if a high number of these are requested we may have to ask you to replan the groupings.

All groups are placed with 2-4 students per host family unless a specific agreement has been made.

It is CES policy not to allow mixed gender pairing/groupings in homestay for any students under the age of 18.
