KidsHost Now launching in Richmond & Kingston

“Last Tuesday, Sarah from my daughter’s class took both my kids while I worked. This week I’m hosting hers. That’s how it works here.”

Your area

We’ll text you when there’s a host from your school, club, or street.

Why parents trust us

Safety comes first

Every parent is vetted with ID checks and personal references. So you know exactly who you’re handing the kids to.

Built for real life

Two hours after pickup. A Saturday morning while you’re at the supermarket. Whatever fits around school and the rest of your week.

Already in your circle

Parents from your child’s school, after-school club, sports session, or your local playground. Walking distance, not a long drive.

How it works

  1. 1

    Host

    Open your home, earn credits looking after a local child. You set the hours and ages.

  2. 2

    Find

    Match with parents from your child’s school, club, sports session, or the playground. Book the slot that works for you.

  3. 3

    Credits

    Earn credits when you host, spend them when you need support. No money changes hands. Just time.

Real parents. Real stories.

TRUSTED

A Host experience

Hosting fits into our week now. The kids made a couple of real friends, and we’ve met two families we actually want to see again.

NEW

A Find experience

My son comes back happy and tired. That’s the whole point. We didn’t have a village in London until now.

Priya, Hampton

VALUED

A Credit experience

The credit system actually makes it fair. No fees. No one keeping score in their head. Just time, between people who live nearby.

Mike, Richmond

From the noticeboard

Hosted for the first time last month. Felt much less stressful than I’d built it up to be. We’ve already booked again.

Sophie, Barnes

Found a great family two streets away. Beats scrolling WhatsApp groups for hours.

Alex, Teddington

Honestly, I just earned the credits I needed by hosting once. Best £0 I’ve never spent.

Priya, Hampton

Our kids actually look forward to playdates now. They’ve made friends on our road.

James, Kew

Strangers on a Tuesday turned into people we wave at on the school run. That’s it.

Laura, Twickenham

I used to be the one always saying yes. Now my credit balance does the negotiating for me.

Mike, Richmond

We helped on Friday. They had ours on Saturday. Everyone got a lie-in.
