For Parents & Familes
What is Sidekick?
Sidekick is the ultimate activity finder for "little and big explorers." We bring together thousands of children’s activities—from baby sensory classes to coding clubs for teenagers—into one easy-to-use app. Our goal is to take the "faff" out of planning your family’s schedule.
Who is Sidekick for?
Sidekick is designed for parents and caregivers who are tired of juggling multiple browser tabs, Instagram posts, and email newsletters just to find something for their kids to do. Whether you have a toddler or a "bored teenager," we have activities for children aged 0 - 18.
Where is Sidekick available?
We are launching exclusively in London, covering everything from Hackney to Hammersmith and Crystal Palace to Camden. We plan to expand to other cities in the future!
How does Sidekick work?
It’s simple:
-
Download & Profile: Answer a few quick questions about your children’s interests and ages to build a personalized profile.
-
Search & Filter: Use filters to find activities that fit your schedule and location.
-
Book: One tap takes you directly to the provider’s booking page.
Does the app cost anything?
No. Sidekick is completely free for parents and caregivers. Our mission is to make finding and booking activities as faff-free as possible, so there are no subscription fees or hidden costs for families to use the app.
Where can I download it?
We are currently in our BETA phase (launching 2026). You can join the waitlist to get an invite as soon as we go live in the App Store and Google Play.
For Activity Providers
Is there a cost to list my actvities?
Currently, listing is free. Our priority is ensuring your information is presented beautifully and accurately. While we will introduce paid premium plans in the future with enhanced features, our goal is to build a platform that works for you first.
