Childcare search platform Toddle acquired rival Care for Kids for $11 million, after bringing on board a slate of new investors including DWS founder and avid Block purchaser Danny Wallis.
Combined, the two businesses have more than 3 million visits each year from families trying to choose a local childcare centre.

The city is hoping to fetch a good price on two properties itâs selling in west Greenville.
The City Council on Monday unanimously approved plans to sell lots off Fifth Street and Third Street by accepting upset bids. The properties require slightly different processes because one already has an active offer.
The Overton Group, a property development firm, has submitted a $260,000 bid for nearly two acres of property located on New Street next to the Third Street School property.
The Overton Groupâs owner and president is Michael Overton, a member of the cityâs planning and zoning commission and chairman of the Greenville-ENC Alliance, an economic development group.
The Greenville City Council unanimously approved the purchase of 184 acres of riverfront property to expand its Wildwood Park development during its Monday Council meeting.
The land, purchased for $617,000, is located on the west side of Northeast Greenville Boulevard at its intersection with Old Pactolus Road.
When combined with the 163 acres of riverfront property east of the highway that was purchased a year ago, the city will have 340 acres of river and lakefront property.
The new property will allow the city to connect River Park North with Wildwood Park using a series of primitive trails that, on a round trip basis, will total more than 10 miles, Assistant City Manager Michael Cowin said.

Many years ago, Pullyman - aka Michael Cowin - was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a condition that affects people in different ways. Last week, Michael turned 80 years old and celebrated with a packed variety show at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas, attended by the Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Minister
Last Friday, December 4, was my 80th Birthday.
Now I think you will agree that an 80th birthday is something special, and you know that kind friends and family members will be asking themselves the perennial question.
What do you buy for an 80-year-old? Especially an 80-year-old who appears to have all that he needs already.
