REAL GUARDIANSHIP IN ACTION
This is what each package actually looks like.
No stock photos. No promises we can’t keep. Just the work we do every term for students in our care.
PREMIUM PACKAGE
We don't miss birthdays.
This birthday surprise was organised by YES Guardians for a 13-year-old whose parents were 6,000 miles away. Premium students get birthday gifts, cards, and celebrations arranged by us — so parents never have to worry about their child feeling forgotten.
PREMIUM PACKAGE
We don't miss parents evenings.
Marc at a parents evening in Gloucestershire, representing a family in Hong Kong. Premium students get attendance at school meetings, detailed feedback sent, and a named guardian who knows their teachers and key staff by name.
PLUS
A real home when you need one.
Plus students have access to carefully matched host families for weekends, half-terms, and school closures. Kitchen table dinners, ice skating trips, pumpkin carving at Halloween. When school closes and everyone else goes home, your child has somewhere to go too.
basic PACKAGE
Not just 9 to 5.
Basic covers the essentials, your Confirmation of Guardianship letter, signed undertaking, school registration forms completed, and a named guardian available 24/7. When your child breaks their arm at rugby practice and the school calls at 4pm, we pick up. Not a voicemail. Not an agency. Us.
Not sure which package fits?
Answer four questions and we’ll recommend the right level of support for your family. Takes 60 seconds.
For university students who just need the paperwork.
FastTrack University is for independent university students who need a UK guardian for visa purposes but don’t require accommodation or ongoing welfare support. You get your Confirmation of Guardianship letter, emergency contact availability, and UKVI compliance. Nothing more.
Real words from real families.
“When we decided our daughter would attend boarding school in the UK, we were immediately nervous about how she would be cared for. They have made things so much easier for us — the genuine care they have for our daughter has helped immensely. They are proactive in their communications and put her wellbeing and safety at the top of the priority list. They’re the best.”
“Having lived with Marc and Hayley for about six months, they are some of the kindest, funniest and caring people I have ever met. It always feels very homely. No homesickness guaranteed — I couldn’t recommend YES Guardians more.”
“Thanks for taking the time. He was very positive and we can finalise. I look forward to working with you and am delighted that he will be in such good hands.”
Questions about our guardianship packages
Everything you need to know about choosing and paying for guardianship support.
What's included in each package?
Every package — Basic, Plus and Premium — includes Marc and Hayley as your named guardians, 24/7 emergency contact, and full UKVI compliance documentation. The difference between tiers is the level of additional support: Plus adds host family placement for exeats and short breaks, while Premium adds school liaison, parents evening attendance, and proactive welfare check-ins throughout the year. The full breakdown of what’s included is shown in the package comparison above.
Can I switch packages partway through the year?
Yes. Many families start on Basic or Plus and upgrade to Premium once they realise how much support they actually need — or scale down if circumstances change. Just get in touch with Hayley or Marc directly and we’ll sort the change with no awkward process or hidden fees. We’ll only ever recommend a level of support that genuinely fits your child’s situation.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
You can pay termly with no long-term lock-in, or pay annually and save on the registration fee. Most families choose whichever works best for their cash flow — there’s no pressure either way. If your circumstances change partway through the year, talk to us directly and we’ll find the right solution.
What if I only need guardianship for a short period of time?
For situations that don’t need the full level of support — such as a university student requiring UK guardianship in place for visa purposes — FastTrack Guardianship is designed specifically for that. It’s a lighter-touch option separate from our termly packages. Get in touch and we’ll confirm quickly whether FastTrack is the right fit for your circumstances.
How do I know which package is right for my child?
Every family’s situation is different, which is why we built a quick Package Finder to help. Answer a few questions about your child’s school, accommodation needs and how much support you’re looking for, and we’ll match you to the right option. If you’d rather talk it through directly, Hayley and Marc are always happy to have that conversation first.
