Compared to paying a tutor the difference is huge, we used to pay for an hour a week and this covers everything for a fraction of the cost. Signing up took two minutes on my phone and the login has never failed. My son gets through the lessons on his own now and I just check the reports on a Sunday. Good value and no faff.

Read moreWe needed something to keep our youngest busy during the school holidays without us paying for a tutor. The monthly subscription works out cheaper than two trips to the shops a week and she's actually been reading more. The reports tell you what she's covered so you're not guessing. Login has been smooth on both the laptop and the tablet, and cancelling was a simple click when we wanted to pause…
Read moreWe needed something to keep our grandson reading over the long summer break, as he had grown rather fidgety with paper books. The sign up was straightforward enough, though I did have to ring about a password reset. Once it was running he seemed to enjoy it, and his reading has come on a little. The price is fair but nothing special.
Bought the yearly plan for my little cousin. Cheaper than I expected and she likes the games bit. The problem is the sign up asked for loads of details and then the payment kept failing, took me about three goes and a chat with support before it went through. Once it was going it's fine honestly.
Compared with the tutor we used before, this is not as personal, since there is no one checking in on how my son is getting on. It does cover a good spread of subjects though, and it costs a fraction of what the tutor charged. He is happy enough with it, but I would still want to sit with him now and again to be sure he is getting the hang of things.

ABCmouse is an online educational platform that offers a structured learning programme for young children, covering reading, maths, science, art and music. Its content is delivered through a subscription-based website and app, with activities, games, e-books and printable materials designed for pre-school and early primary-age pupils. The platform is aimed at parents and home educators who want guided, self-paced learning that children can follow independently on a computer or tablet.
The company is particularly known for its step-by-step learning path, which adapts the sequence of lessons to each child's progress and gives parents a view of how their child is developing. ABCmouse operates primarily online, so families access the material from home rather than through a physical store, and it is also used by some schools as a supplementary resource.
