- I'm scared of my swimming lesson tomorrow
- Lots of children feel that way, and that's OK. Which part feels scary?

- Try blowing bubbles in the bath tonight, just with your mouth. Tiny steps make it easier!

No AI safety check is perfect. So Noodle shows you every chat, exactly as your child saw it, instead of asking you to take it on trust. Here's one of Olivia's, opened in the Kitchen on your phone.
An example. Every chat is kept for you, even an answer Noodle wrote and the safety check stopped before your child saw it.
Why do stars twinkle?
- Why do stars twinkle?
- Starlight wobbles as it comes through the air around Earth, a bit like a coin at the bottom of a swimming pool. The air moves, so the light looks like it's flickering!

Children are meeting AI anyway. Most of it was never made for them.
The big AI assistants are brilliant tools, made for adults and teenagers. Their own rules say who they're for.
- ChatGPT13+Under-18s need a parent's permission. OpenAI's terms (opens their site)
- Claude18+Adults only. Anthropic's terms (opens their site)
- Gemini, in the UK13+Under-13s use it through a parent's Family Link account, which Google doesn't offer for Gemini in the UK. Google's help page (opens their site)
We check these rules regularly. They change, so the links go to each company's own page.
Noodle is made for 6 to 15.
So which AI is your child talking to?
Not ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Google made the model that answers, but it runs on Cloudflare, so what your child types or says isn't sent to Google or any other AI company.

We'd rather show you than ask you to trust us. See how Noodle works, what we store and for how long, and what our own tests missed.
Look under the hoodDesigned around the UK Children's Code
The Information Commissioner's Office sets out how online services used by children must treat them: the Age Appropriate Design Code. We designed Noodle around it from the first line of code. Here is what that means for your child.
Their interests come first
Noodle is built to help them learn rather than keep them hooked. What they ask is never used to choose what they see next, and the fun always leads back to learning: no hooks, no sneaky tricks.
Private from day one
The most private settings are the starting point. No strangers, no feeds, no public profiles, no location.
Only what we need
A first name and an age band, and nothing else about your child. Chats are deleted, not kept for ever: how long, in our promises.
In your hands
Every safety feature is on every plan, including Free. Every question and answer is checked by a safety model, then by the rules you set. Sexual content, and tricks to get round the rules, are always blocked.
They know you can see
Even answers your child was never shown are kept for you, and your child is told so in words they understand. A message our checks read as a child at risk, such as self-harm or a stranger online, gets a kind answer pointing to Childline, and an alert to you. You see every chat, with one exception.
Their data isn't the product
There are no ads, nothing is sold, nobody profiles them for marketing, and their chats are never used to train AI.
The Code also asks for a Data Protection Impact Assessment. We're writing ours now, with independent review, before Noodle opens to every family.
We teach them to prompt through play.
Using AI well is a life skill, and childhood is the safest place to learn it: in the shallow end, with a grown-up close by.
My Noodle
A dressing-up box. "A hat" ends up on the floor in a random colour. "A giant red crown on her head" lands just right.
Your child never sees a shop or a price, and you can switch it off.
Picture Pal
They build a sentence, and Noodle draws exactly what it says. The more specific the words, the closer the picture.
Story Book
Their own characters, kept for next time, and a story in chapters. Your child says what happens next; Noodle writes it with them.
Learning first, every day. Each game opens once your child has tried the skill it teaches, with one short lesson and a go in chat. Then, each day, the games wait until Noodle has answered a question from them. The daily rule has a switch in the Kitchen.
Same question, two answers
Explain volcanoes A fine answer. It just doesn't know what the question was for.
Explain volcanoes for my Year 3 project on natural disasters Three headings, pitched at Year 3. Every extra word told Noodle something.
One Noodle that grows up with them
Tell us each child's age and Noodle changes how it talks and looks, so a six-year-old isn't lost and a fourteen-year-old isn't patronised.

The problem, what Noodle is, what you see as a grown-up, the games, and how it is designed around the Children’s Code, in 2 minutes 30.
Read what Noodle says
If your child hasn't used AI yet, they will soon. The tools everyone talks about are brilliant, but they were made for adults and teenagers. Their own rules set minimum ages. Say no, and they'll probably find a way anyway, with nothing to keep them safe. Say yes, and give them a safe place to learn, with you in charge.
I'm Noodle, and that's what I'm for. A safe place for children aged 6 to 15 to learn and use AI.
Getting started takes seconds. All we need is your email, a first name and an age band for each child, and a short code for their tablet.
From then on, say Olivia asks me what highland cows like to eat. I answer in words that suit her age. But every question she types, and every answer I write, is checked first. By a separate safety AI, and then by the rules you've set. Ask me to do her homework, and I'll say no, kindly, and help her find the answer instead.
And if she's ever worried, or scared, I'll be gentle, and point her to a grown-up she trusts. If it's more serious, you'll hear straight away, by email. Her words stay out of it, because email isn't private.
Whenever you like, open the Kitchen, your parent dashboard. It has her chats, her house rules, and the hours I go to sleep. And every Sunday, a short email tells you what she explored.
And none of this is an afterthought. Noodle is designed around the UK Children's Code, the Information Commissioner's rules for services that children use. So we ask for a first name and an age band, and nothing else. Everything starts private. There are no streaks to keep them hooked, no ads, nothing sold, and chats are never used to train AI.
It's fun, too. They dress me by describing an outfit. Say "a hat", and it ends up on the floor, in a random colour. Say "a giant red crown on your head", and that's exactly what I wear.
Or they build a sentence in Picture Pal, and I draw exactly what it says. The more specific the words, the closer the picture. It works like an AI image generator, without using one. It can only ever show what's in my toy box.
Because the aim isn't to keep her away from AI. It's to teach her to use it well. To ask better questions, and so get better answers.
