Ann-Marie Kinlock, Founder, KindHaus
Ann-Marie Kinlock is the founder of KindHaus, an “oasis” on the high street for modern parents - blending flexible childcare with workspace and much needed community.
After having her son, Ann-Marie faced huge barriers trying to get back to work, the lack of flexible, affordable childcare provision being one of them.
With a background in User Experience Design and a passion for supporting parents, Ann-Marie deployed her skills to create something she wished existed as a new mum - KindHaus.
They have recently raised investment from Daring Capital to launch a new site in Hackney, North East London, that provides new parents with access to affordable, flexible childcare - and desk space, all under one roof.
