11th December 2025, London, UK: Marking a seismic shift in the early years software sector, Blossom and KidsKonnect have made firm their partnership and have now merged into one brand – Ovivio.
Ovivio is here to make ripples in the early years that childcare professionals will turn into waves, wholly committed to standing on the side of nurseries. Being there when needed and providing the tools nurseries and childminders need to build the best next generation, using decades of our own experience.
Ovivio is empowering childcare today for a smarter tomorrow, to provide childcare solutions that are more affordable, more available and simply stellar. This new brand brings together seventeen childcare software brands from across the UK and Europe to become the biggest nursery management software platform in Europe, including Deona from Belgium, VerbeterMeter from the Netherlands and NoodleNow! from the UK. One name, to reveal who we’ve become:
- One platform for child management, staffing, billing, development and communication.
- One ecosystem for learning, development, and connection.
- One brand that embodies trust, clarity, and growth.
Our commitment to excellent customer service remains paramount, with UK customers continuing to receive support from a UK customer service team – all with relevant early years experience. The UK arm of the business will continue to run under UK Managing Director Ash Pajpani, while the global business will sit under CEO and “Chief Ripplemaker” Peter Baars.
“This step isn’t about a new name or new logo, but about a shared future. Ovivio brings together everything we have built over the past years and gets us ready to support the next generation of childcare and education providers.”
Peter Baars, Ovivio CEO
Customers can soon expect this partnership to bring them streamlined training, employee satisfaction surveys, deeper reports and more, all in one easy-to-use platform. Ovivio.com/uk is the home of software for the UK childcare market, and great nursery content can already be found on our blog.
About Ovivio
The ripples for Ovivio began in 2022 when KidsKonnect acquired Blossom in 2023, the latest in KidsKonnect growing software family. A mixture of software and early years experts, this partnership was well-placed to become something greater, and so the stage was set for an official merge in 2025 into Ovivio.
Ovivio is nursery management software designed by nursery business experts, with every tool nurseries need to focus on the children instead of the admin. Registers, Daily Diaries, Finance, Funding, Medications and more, all at nursery workers’ fingertips and improving all the time.
