Our review
Kinderpedia is operated by Kinderpedia SRL, whose privacy policy gives the address 46-48 Calea Plevnei, Bucharest, Romania. The same page lists further offices in Lisbon, Baar in Switzerland, London, Abu Dhabi and São Paulo.
Kinderpedia targets schools and nurseries. Its home page offers separate solutions for primary and secondary schools, preschool and childcare software and education franchises. The site states more than 2,000 schools and nurseries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
What the Kinderpedia plans include
Kinderpedia Starter covers attendance and daily logs, messaging, a newsfeed, basic invoicing, photo and video sharing, student check-in and a parent and teacher mobile app. The plan includes 10 staff seats and 30 GB of cloud space.
Kinderpedia Essentials adds basic child development with three templates, video conferences, contactless QR code check-in, a document repository, online payments, a weekly menu planner and allergy and medical records.
Kinderpedia prices in euros
Kinderpedia lists Starter at €49 and Essentials at €99 per centre a month billed annually, with an annual toggle labelled -20%. The page also shows per-student rates of €0.72 and €1.2 a month.
A separate Get a Price page states an all-in-one platform from just €50 a month, with a personalised price based on enrolled children and no sales call. Higher plans were not fully visible in the text we read.
Kinderpedia as a European alternative to Brightwheel
Kinderpedia gives a Romanian contracting entity and a published euro price list, where Brightwheel offers custom pricing on request. Kinderpedia names a Data Protection Officer at the Bucharest address.
Kinderpedia is built for schools as well as nurseries, so some modules such as gradebook and assignments go beyond childcare.
Points against
Kinderpedia describes its servers only as military-grade data centers and does not name a country on the pages we read. The Starter plan caps staff at 10 seats and 30 GB of storage. Much of the site speaks to schools, so a small day nursery may use only part of the product. For a nursery-specific UK suite with stated UK hosting, see eyworks.
Who Kinderpedia fits
Small nurseries, after-school programmes and private schools in Europe or the Middle East that want one platform with euro prices published online.
