Acting on the successful sale of NoodleNow! to KidsKonnect

We were proud to act on the successful sale of NoodleNow!, the UK’s largest training provider in the childcare sector. We represented NoodleNow! founder, Craig Stables in the sale to KidsKonnect.

The acquisition marked a significant milestone, with NoodleNow! joining Europe’s leading early years software company and creating new opportunities for growth and innovation in the childcare sector.

The deal

The deal presented unique complexities, including the sale of NoodleNow!’s shares and Craig Stables’ decision to retain ownership of the company’s property. This required careful structuring to ensure Craig’s long-term interests were protected through a secure lease agreement while enabling a seamless transition for KidsKonnect to take over the business.

Birdi & Co played a pivotal role in facilitating the transaction by:

• Managing the legal aspects of the transaction, including due diligence, contract drafting, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Negotiating terms that reflected the full value of NoodleNow! and its potential for future growth.
• Drafting and finalising a property lease agreement to secure Craig Stables’ rental income while maintaining operational continuity for KidsKonnect.

The firm’s sector expertise and collaborative approach ensured the process was efficient, transparent, and aligned with the client’s objectives.

The Result

The transaction was completed successfully, providing a platform for NoodleNow! to flourish under KidsKonnect’s leadership while allowing Craig Stables to retain financial security and a stake in the property.

Craig Stables, Founder of NoodleNow!, praised their professionalism and support:

“[They] made the entire process seamless. Their clear communication, attention to detail, and understanding of my goals ensured a fantastic outcome. I couldn’t have asked for better guidance during this significant transition.”

Kush Birdi, Managing Partner, reflected on the success of the deal:
