The only downside I can see with home education is the potential lack of 'socialisation' that kids get at school, making friends etc. Would they feel that they were 'missing out' although, having said that, if they have their friends that they play with etc, then it may not be an issue.

As long as you stick fairly close to the curriculum, I wouldn't have thought that there would be any problems - let's face it, at the end of the day, are any prospective employers / universities (a long way in the future, I know) really going to be bothered about primary level education? As long as your kids can read and write to the accepted level and have basic skills, they should be alright.
