NoodleNow!, the UK’s largest training provider in the childcare sector, has been acquired by KidsKonnect, Europe’s leading early years software company. This acquisition continues KidsKonnect’s growth in the UK market, having acquired nursery management software provider Blossom in 2023.
"Following on from our acquisition of Blossom in 2023, we are excited that NoodleNow! have joined the KidsKonnect family. As we continue to grow in the UK, this expansion into the training and CPD space means we continue to deliver on our desire to improve nursery management for everyone in the sector"
Together, these businesses will provide an even better experience for their customers, while continuing to serve customers separately and independently. Increased collaboration will allow the KidsKonnect Group to continue building the future of childcare, including the powerful combination of excellent staff management software in Blossom’s nursery management system, and staff development tracking through continuous professional development and e-learning in NoodleNow!.
Tens of thousands of practitioners already use NoodleNow! as part of their nursery staff’s Continued Professional Development [CPD], and those clients can now expect even more excellent courses to become available as KidsKonnect adds their insight and experience to the training mix. NoodleNow! will reach more nurseries than ever before, with continued unrestricted access for existing customers to support the professional growth of their staff.
“This is an exciting time for the UK nursery market, and I look forward to what this means for Blossom’s ever-improving product offering. This development marks another great step in Blossom’s journey with KidsKonnect and bringing only the best to our customers and the sector.”
Partnering with NoodleNow! also marks a transformative moment for Blossom and the UK childcare market, providing nurseries with unparalleled access to integrated management and training solutions, joining Blossom’s existing Early Years website builder, mobile payment solution and upcoming bespoke activity database.
There’s even more to come for Blossom customers as part of the deepening KidsKonnect partnership. Early years-specific business intelligence, advanced room management, measurement of Parent/Employee satisfaction and Benchmarking and much, much more, all of which will continue to drive innovation and support nurseries and staff for years to come.
“NoodleNow! - what a journey it has been and will continue to be! I couldn’t be prouder of NoodleNow! and that it’s now a part of KidsKonnect, and I’m looking forward to what we can do together going into next year and beyond. The whole team is excited about what the future holds, especially bringing high-quality CPD training to even more people in the childcare industry.”
