Kindo and Tillo describe this division of responsibilities in their announcements. [S01] [S02] The current Kindo website makes a further distinction: an eligible invoice does not have to have been paid before it is uploaded. It values one point at £1 for its reward system. Verification of an invoice should therefore not be confused with independent confirmation of a completed bank payment. [S03]

That distinction matters to the economics. Rewards linked to invoiced spending require rules about eligibility, duplicate submissions and later changes. The nursery still expects its ordinary fee; the reward is a separate benefit whose value depends on the programme's terms.

Kindo's current employer page, checked October 19, gives a more specific menu than the launch release: Family advertises 3% back on nursery fees, Plus 5% and Premium 10%. It says employers are billed per enrolled parent each month, but does not publish a complete per-parent price schedule alongside those three tiers. The figures are advertised reward-plan rates, not independently measured savings, a percentage discount charged by the nursery or Tillo's revenue share. [S06]

Kindo has connected its childcare rewards app to Tillo , allowing parents to exchange points associated with eligible nursery invoices for retailer gift cards. Tillo announced the partnership on February 23, 2026, followed by Kindo's own account on March 12.
