Start saving for your child(ren), it couldn't be easier just register your child's name and shop in one of many shops that have signed up to Kidstart and start saving, it's as easy that. Once you have saved £10.00 the money then, by your approval Will be paid into your child's chosen account. Get Saving don't be the one left behind REMEMBER it's your child(ren) that you are saving for

Helping my kid save....brilliant!

I like that they don't bombard you! They keep you informed, up to date, and anything that can help my child save for their future, especially in the current climate, is A-OK in my book! x

Long-term member of Kidstart

I have been using Kidstart for a number of years now and there have been absolutely no issues. It is always clear which companies are offering cashback, and how much. The main page of the website displays all the top deals prominently so you can take advantage of them easily. Info is concise but accurate. The money may pend for a little while, as they have to verify all purchases, but you can clearly see what's going on. Best cashback company I have found and so convenient that the money goes straight into an account for your child.

Save money with ease.

Easiest way to earn money without thinking about it for the children I'm saving small amounts each time which will benefit them when they're older.

Fantastic way to top up children's accounts

Only had one missing transaction in the years of use.
Been topping up my children's accounts and helping out our local school. Has a massive list of retailers. Shame about Amazon leaving in 2020.

Simple way to save for your children

I have been using KidStart for a number of years now and I have saved several hundred pounds from purchases and bonus offers over that time. Grandparents use it too which boosts the savings! It costs nothing to join and is so reliable. If I’ve ever needed to contact customer support it has been a very positive experience. Would highly recommend!

Hi Melanie, it's really great to hear you've saved hundreds with KidStart and that you've got the grandparents involved too! Thank you for your review.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend Kidstart

Kidstart has always been really easy to use and an opportunity to save for our kids when shopping. The ability for grandparents to also save was great. They used to have a partnership with Amazon which we found very useful but sadly that stopped a while back. That said some good opportunities to save for our childrens future by claiming cash back on our purchases.

Very easy to use :) Cashback % are quite generous too. Only downside is that I wish they had more suppliers on board.
