Education solutions firm The Twinkl Group acquires Natterhub

Sheffield-based The Twinkl Group, which provides teaching and learning resources, has acquired Natterhub, an interactive, gated platform that gives schools and parents all they need to teach learners how to stay safe online and be responsible digital citizens.

By providing a ‘sandbox’ for pupils to practise navigating the digital world, Natterhub embeds crucial online safety discussions and experiences into the curriculum, rather than isolated events that limit engagement.

The platform provides interactive social media-like features, as well as impactful lessons that resonate with students – making learning, and the discussions about online safety, more meaningful and effective.

“With reports showing children are spending more time online than ever before, there is added pressure to equip them with the knowledge to explore the digital world safely,” said Caroline Allams, co-founder and Product Director, Natterhub.

“Meanwhile, new technologies such as AI are increasingly inuencing how children develop social and emotional skills. Joining the Twinkl ecosystem will allow us to help schools better address these challenges and prepare the next generation.”

Natterhub adds to The Twinkl Group’s existing B2B education offerings used by schools and multi-academy trusts around the world – including Twinkl resources, Twinkl Phonics Training, and online assessment tool Educake.

“We are thrilled to be joining forces with Natterhub and look forward to helping them grow and have an even bigger impact,” said Jonathan Seaton, founder and CEO of The Twinkl Group.

“This marks a signicant step forward in Twinkl’s ongoing mission to help those that teach, allowing us to address even more challenges for schools, educators, parents, and students alike.”
