KidStart Reviews 243

KidStart is a great way to put some money aside for your child, without it coming out of your own pocket, by simply clicking via their platform. Its so easy to do and the one time in 18 years I needed some help, the KidStart team were really helpful and quick to respond. So glad I did this, so is my son!

I got kidstart when I had my daughter in 2013.
I can understand why people go towards topcashback and quidco or some other sites. They usually have a higher rate.
Put simply a higher rate means absolutely nothing when you cannot count on the transaction being tracked, when there's some random reason as to why they can't pay you etc. You're not getting anything.

So for 12 years I have and will continue to use kidstart because it always tracks. Even if it takes awhile they will clear and you will get paid.
Majority of the sites I'm looking for they have or it's not on others.
Would recommend every time.

I opened a kidstart account when my children were small. I haven't used it in a while or linked an account. However I have recently come across it again and my funds are still there safe and sound. I asked a question on the chat and had a great response from Kaz. I will mist definitely be using my kidstart account again. Thanks

I cannot give 5 stars because I have yet to see if the vendors have credited my account as Ive only just joined. However, I have had brilliant customer service from Kaz today, reassuring me that I have signed up correctly and made two purchases through Kidstart. So that is why I am reviewing as I have.

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience using KidStart. I made a qualifying purchase through their website — I followed all the steps correctly, clicked through their link, and completed the transaction as instructed.

However, when the cashback didn’t appear, I contacted support only to be told that I “did not go through their site.” This is simply not true. I know for certain I used their link and didn’t visit any other cashback or referral site in between. Their refusal to honour the transaction despite clear evidence of proper usage feels dishonest and undermines trust in the platform.

I joined KidStart to support my child’s savings, but experiences like this make it clear they’re not reliable. If you're considering using KidStart, be aware they may not honour your cashback — even if you do everything right.

Customer service has been amazing. Kaz was very helpful with my query and helped me get set up again. All very easy to use. Thank you.

Fast and efficient customer service.
Enquiry dealt with effectively. No further action needed.
Awesome cash back app in which I have saved nearly £1000 since starting to use it 7 years ago!

Speedy, efficient customer service. Thank you 😊

I came across Kidstart last year when I was pregnant and I am glad I signed up when I did as I have already saved quite a lot thanks to their cashback scheme for all different things I had to buy for the baby.
It doesn't cost a thing, they are partnered with the main retailers,all you need to do is to make the purchase via their app/website, then the cash back goes straight into your child's saving account.
Easy to use, free, gives you money back for your shopping so you can build up savings for your kids- What not to love?!!

Been using is for a while and saved up quite a bit from cash back,

Kidstart really is amazing! We have been collecting earnings on our online spending for the last 10 years and we have made a good chunk back, which goes into the kids savings accounts. There’s no catch and if you’re buying anyway, it makes sense - the cashback really adds up! You can also ask family members to collect for your children easily which again helps the earnings grow quickly.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kidstart as a cashback provider!

We were recently awarded £100 as a runner up in one of there giveaways. All we had to do, was use Kidstart. We have been using Kidstart for a few years now and it’s so easy. All you do is find the retailer you wish to purchase from, and if they are with Kidstart just buy through the app and get money back for your little one. It’s a great way to save when spending.

What an excellent nursery! My daughter has loved being there and we know that she always receives outstanding care from all of the staff. The induction process includes a home visit and this meant that my daughter could meet staff in her home environment first. This is something all nurseries should do as it meant she felt more settled when she first started at the nursery. All of the staff invest lots of time and care into both the child and their family - providing lots of detailed information which is very reassuring. A huge thanks to Natalie, Jodie, Linda, Alex, Teigan and Roxsana. All of the staff however are lovely and friendly. It is a very welcoming environment for all.

We are so pleased to have found this Nursery and are looking forward to her having lots of fun there in the future.

Very prompt to respond to my query
Very informative with reply
Excellent Customer Service

Kidstart is a peace of mind for my daughters. The saving with their school whilst shopping is great, and just that feeling of safety that my daughters will have something just for them when they're older. Knowing they'll have options, some freedom with the money saved up for them and, hopefully, the stocks will be positive and increase for them...The website is easy to navigate, let's you know when you're on a site that you can save with and shows you options where to buy and save.

I have earned some decent dribs and drabs with minimal effort from Kidstart, which has been great, however they owe me £106.85 from a big flight purchase, a transaction from 17 January, and I am yet to see that money! They initially said "please be aware that the process can take up to 60 working days and in rare instances longer" but nearly a year later... I would consider this false advertising. I have emailed them multiple times and they keep telling me to wait. I will be speaking to Citizen's Advice.

Kidstart are great for small purchases, but don't rely on them for large purchases, you may benefit elsewhere.

I had a problem signing in. Ended up locking myself out of my account. Sent an e mail to customer services. They were so supportive and helped me. Got back into my account okay. Thank you to Kaz x

Kidstart is Great.The cash back does add up and its great when it gets transferred to your bank account for the kids.Would definitely recommend.

I've been using Kidstart for years, it's a great way to earn extra cash for my kids savings accounts. You can add family and friends to their account too, which all adds up. There's loads of retailers that we use regularly, and cashback amounts are great.

I only signed up to KidStart 9 months ago and I can't believe how much money back I already received to put on my child's savings account.

It's so easy to use, and does not cost anything. you just get the ££ back from the normal shopping you need to do for the kiddies.

My favourite feature is the Chrome extension to make sure I get the money back from all of my purchases.

I recommend anyone who wants to save money for their kids to use KidStart.
