LONDON, Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kindo, a UK-based childcare rewards fintech, has partnered with award-winning gift card provider Tillo to power rewards through the Tillo Network. The partnership helps families turn verified nursery spend into meaningful rewards, with points that can be redeemed for digital vouchers with everyday brands.
The Kindo app does not change how parents pay their nursery fees. Parents continue paying their nursery as normal, then upload their nursery invoice in the Kindo app. Kindo verifies the invoice with help from their AI technology and issues points based on eligible nursery spend. Points can be redeemed for digital vouchers via the Tillo Network, creating a simple, engaging way for parents to get more value from an unavoidable childcare spend.
Kindo also supports childcare providers through a dual-sided model. Nurseries can join Kindo as an approved partner nursery and offer their families discounted access to the Kindo app. This enables a "points back on nursery fees" benefit without requiring any changes to existing billing processes or adding operational workload for nursery teams. Kindo has already secured partnerships with several major nursery brands.
Tillo powers the gift card redemption experience within Kindo, providing users with access to a wide selection of digital gift cards from leading and beloved brands. Gift cards are delivered digitally and can be used online or in-store, subject to each brand's specific terms and conditions.
Alex Preece, CEO and Co-Founder of Tillo, said: "Childcare is one of the highest everyday costs for families, so it's great to see Kindo turning that spend into something more rewarding. This partnership brings real choice and real value to parents and nursery teams, and we're proud to power the gift card rewards through the Tillo Network. It's a brilliant example of rewards being used to support life's essentials, not just the occasional treat."
Tor Martin Flesvik, CEO at Kindo said: "Today, you earn points on lattes and flight tickets, but not on what is often a household's second-biggest monthly expense: childcare. Childcare is one of the most 'un-rewarded' categories in the world, and we're proud to be changing that. Partnering with Tillo gives us the trusted rewards infrastructure and everyday redemption options that make Kindo's points genuinely useful for parents, while keeping it simple for nurseries to offer a modern, parent-first benefit that parents actually feel every month."
