Company mission

Winnie is on a mission to bring high-quality child care & educational services to every family.

Our take

For many parents, finding great childcare can be difficult, expensive and uncertain. Winnie solves this problem by connecting parents with vetted, high-quality pre-school and daycare solutions.

Winnie was founded by two former Googlers with firsthand experience of the challenges facing working parents. This experience and expertise has helped Winnie to secure backing from an impressive raft of investors, and to scale at pace. Winnie's platform now boasts over 250,000 daycares and preschools, many of which have no online presence of their own.

Winnie differentiates itself from other SaaS providers in the childcare space by building its platform around parents' needs. This has proven highly lucrative, with millions of parents now using the platform. If Winnie can maintain the focus of its mission, it will continue to grow in the coming years.
