About us
Founded by a family,
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 hub of real savings 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. Founded by a family in England, Nestling Quest™ puts learning first. Children are never shown ads, upgrade prompts, or anything designed to manipulate their behaviour.
Our founder works in construction and infrastructure, so alongside reading and numbers we'll be releasing content that helps young children discover the amazing built world around them — the homes, bridges, roads and railways they see every day.
- Literacy and numeracy for ages 3–7, built around EYFS & KS1 learning
- Free for every child, and free for every nursery
- No ads shown to children, ever
- No guilt mechanics, no pressure, no dark patterns
- Designed to follow the ICO Children's Code and UK GDPR
The platform Under development
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 is already live, with savings for families on memberships, holidays, toys, books and everyday essentials. We earn a small affiliate commission — it helps us keep the platform accessible to all families.
