About Parenta
Our Extraordinary Journey
Parenta’s extraordinary journey started in 1999 when we embarked on a mission to revolutionise the world of early years childcare. Evolving from humble beginnings as a simple nursery website provider, we have since transformed into the foremost authority and solutions provider to the early years sector.
But we haven’t stopped there. Not only have we expanded our innovative nursery software products, but we’ve also become the UK’s largest provider of childcare apprenticeships. Every year, we empower almost 3,000 learners to achieve their qualifications.
Join us in our successful adventure, as we shape the future of early years childcare.

As our company has flourished, we’ve been blessed with the incredible opportunity to give back to others through our charity, The Parenta Trust.
The Parenta Trust was set up in 2013 by Allan Presland, CEO of Parenta. His mission was simple; to educate the youngest, most vulnerable children from deprived areas all over the world. How? By building pre-schools and providing a sponsorship programme.
“My vision is for every child to gain a quality pre-school education.”
We are proud to be able to say that we have raised enough funds to keep building new schools year after year since The Parenta Trust was founded.
