About us
Built by a parent,
for families
An EYFS & KS1 edtech platform for children aged 3–7, run as a social enterprise. We believe brilliant learning should be accessible to every family.
Real savings for family life — and a bonus
Family Deals is our hand-picked hub of discounts on the things family life actually costs: memberships and days out, holidays, toys and books, and everyday essentials. It's refreshed regularly, and it's worth a look for the savings alone.
Here's the bonus: free learning still costs money to build and run, and Family Deals is how we pay for it. When you book or buy through our links we earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you — and because we're a social enterprise, that money goes straight back into keeping literacy and numeracy free for every child.
So parents, grandparents, family and friends can all help support children's free learning — simply by shopping the way they already do. Save on your family day out, and help another child learn to read.
Our mission
We started Nestling Quest™ because we couldn't find a children's learning app that was genuinely good — joyful, with no hidden pressure mechanics, and respectful of both children and parents.
So we built one. Made by a parent in England, Nestling Quest™ puts learning first. Children are never shown ads, upgrade prompts, or anything designed to manipulate their behaviour.
- Curriculum-aligned literacy and numeracy for ages 3–7
- Free for every child, and free for every nursery
- No ads shown to children, ever
- No guilt mechanics, no pressure, no dark patterns
- AADC and GDPR compliant by design
The platform
Children choose from a range of characters, earn treasures by completing quest modules, and watch their character grow across multiple evolution stages.
Quest modules start with literacy and numeracy — phonics, letter sounds, counting and early number. More areas of the curriculum will follow.
The parent dashboard gives families honest, clear progress tracking. No gamified streaks. No anxiety-inducing notifications. Just a real picture of what their child is learning.
Our Family Deals hub provides curated discounts for families — memberships, holidays, toys, books and everyday essentials. We earn a small affiliate commission — it helps us keep the platform accessible to all families.
