What is Kribble? Verified childcare, from one day to every day
Kribble is a childcare app starting in Gurgaon that lists only daycares and preschools its team has visited. What it will do, its limits and who runs it.
Kribble is a childcare discovery and booking app for parents in India, starting in Gurgaon. Our team visits and checks every daycare, preschool and playschool before it appears in the app. Once it launches, you'll be able to compare centres and book anything from a single day to a full year. You'll also pay fees and get teacher updates in one place.
Kribble is not live yet. Right now, you can join the waitlist.
The problem we're trying to fix
Finding childcare usually means a patchwork of WhatsApp groups, Google searches and weekend visits. Fees are hard to compare. Photos online may be years old. And it is hard to know what a centre is really like until you are standing inside it.
We estimate there are about 850 private preschools and daycares in Gurgaon alone. That is a lot of choice, and a lot of legwork for a parent with a job and a toddler.
Kribble is our attempt to make that search shorter and clearer, without pretending it can replace your own judgement.
How Kribble will work
1. Every centre is visited first
Every centre listed on Kribble is physically visited and checked by the Kribble team before it appears in the app. The visit covers safety, staff credentials, hygiene, ratios and facilities, and our team photographs the space itself, so the photos you see are the real rooms.
Verification is a starting point, not a guarantee. Our guide on what a "verified" daycare actually means explains what it can and cannot tell you.
2. Compare centres side by side
You'll be able to compare centres on:
- Location, timings and availability
- Approach and facilities
- Real photos and safety details
- Fees, with admission, registration, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual plans shown side by side
Seeing the plans together makes hidden costs easier to spot. Our explainer on daycare and preschool fees covers what each charge usually means.
3. Book the care you need
Kribble will cover the early years, from a baby's first daycare to primary school. You'll be able to book:
| Plan | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Preschool admissions | Enrolling for the school year |
| Monthly daycare | Regular full-day care for working parents |
| Half-day daycare | Mornings or afternoons only |
| After-school care | Care after preschool or primary school |
| Holiday camps | School breaks |
| One-Day Daycare | Verified childcare booked for a single day |
One-Day Daycare is useful when your nanny cancels, or when you want to try a daycare for a day before you enrol. Our guide to backup childcare covers other options too.
4. Enquire, enrol and pay in one place
You'll be able to send enquiries, enrol and pay fees securely in the app, with receipts and reminders. Partner centres will offer member discounts on enrolment fees, activity packs and monthly plans.
5. Stay in touch with your child's day
Photos, updates and notes from teachers will arrive in one feed, instead of scattered across messages and calls.
What's coming later
- Caregivers at home. On-demand caregivers at home are part of the plan, alongside centres.
- More cities. Kribble launches in Gurugram first. Other cities will follow, with no dates yet.
- A profile of your child's early years. Later, we plan a longitudinal profile combining teacher notes, milestone tracking and AI insights. This will not be available at launch.
What Kribble is not
We would rather be clear about our limits now than disappoint you later.
- It is not live yet. You cannot book or pay through Kribble today.
- It is Gurgaon only at launch. If you live elsewhere, join the waitlist and we'll tell you when we reach your city.
- Verification is not a licence. It means our team has visited and checked the centre. It is not a government licence, and it is not a guarantee of safety.
- It does not replace your visit. Please still see a centre in person and ask your own questions. Our daycare checklist can help.

Kribble is pre-launch and will open in Gurgaon first. We have not announced a date yet. Join the waitlist at kribblecare.com to hear as soon as it goes live.
What does "verified" mean on Kribble?
Every centre on Kribble is physically visited and checked by the Kribble team before it is listed. It is not a government licence or a safety guarantee. You should still visit the centre yourself before you enrol.
Is Kribble available outside Gurgaon?
Not at launch. Kribble starts in Gurgaon, and other cities are planned, but there are no dates yet. You can join the waitlist from anywhere to hear when it reaches you.
