Nest
Our own parent app
Already a Teddy Kids parent?
Goodbye KidsKonnect. Hello Nest. 🪺
From 1 August 2026, Nest becomes your Teddy Kids parent app.
We built Nest ourselves and tested it thoroughly with our team and parent committee. Now we are introducing it one location at a time, with everything you need in one simple place.
Your invoices and annual statements will move with you, so nothing gets lost. Billing will continue through Portabase for one final month in August and will move fully into Nest from September.
During August and September, everyday parent communication will also gradually move from WhatsApp into Nest Messages.
Your Nest is ready. Check your email for your personal link.
The app we always wanted — rebuilt from the ground up. It just works.
No accounts. No passwords. No “please call back during office hours.” Nest is where your child's day lives — the photos, the naps, the extra-day requests, the invoices — one place that opens with a single tap on your personal link.
The day
Your child's day, as it happened
Open the day report and see the day the way your child lived it: when they arrived, how they napped, what the group got up to, and the little notes only their own caregivers could write. Photos from the group land in your feed — filter them per child, keep the gems.
The calendar
Every ‘could we maybe…?’ is one tap
Report sick before breakfast. Pass on a vacation in ten seconds. Ask for an extra Tuesday. The calendar shows every booked, requested and closed day in colour — and everything you'd normally email or call about is a tap on the day itself.
Cancel a day at least 24 hours ahead and you earn Teddy Coins — spend them later on an extra day. Your balance lives in the app, with honest warnings before coins expire.
Messages
A real chat, not a WhatsApp workaround
Message your child's group or your location directly, react with an emoji, and keep parent-committee conversations in their own rooms. No phone numbers shared, no group-chat chaos — and it speaks Dutch and English, just like we do.
And the rest

Getting in
