Discussed with a responsible adult: □For parents, carers & teachers
Give them room to try—with the right guardrails.
QuidKids is educational. It does not hold money, sell financial products or ask children to create accounts. A real sale or business must be planned with a responsible adult.
Before starting for real in the UK
Rules depend on the child’s age, the activity and the local council. Food, street trading, online selling and paid work can need extra checks or permission. A parent or carer should check first.
GOV.UK business guidance ↗Find your local council ↗Start-safe checklist
✓ A responsible adult knows the plan✓ No meeting strangers alone✓ No sharing home, school or payment details✓ Check local rules before selling✓ Stop if anything feels unsafeTrust, privacy & official help
Clear rules. No pretend badges.
QuidKids is independent and is not endorsed by the government, a bank or a regulator. We link to official UK help when it matters.
Privacy for kids
No account is needed. Challenge ticks stay only in this browser. Founder-plan answers are not uploaded or saved by QuidKids. Never type private addresses, school names, passwords or payment details.
Children’s privacy at the ICO ↗Money guidance
Lessons are practical education, not personal financial advice. A parent or carer should make decisions about accounts, payments, tax or contracts.
MoneyHelper for families ↗Scams & safety
Stop, do not pay, do not share a code and tell a trusted adult. Use official channels to check suspicious messages.
Action Fraud ↗How we check content
We use plain UK English, show the maths, separate education from advice, link to primary official sources and review guidance when rules change. We never use “approved” or “official” unless it is genuinely true.
