Cuddles Childcare Centre is a family owned and operated centre that understands the needs of today's growing family. We provide care to children 0-12 years including casual and vacation care as well as before and after school care. We have centres in Bertram, Carlisle, South Lake and St James.
We believe that children are natural learners and our aim is to provide an environment where they can grow in confidence and be quipped to start school.
The Nest is a curated private capital platform built to solve one of the most persistent failures in global investing: the fragmentation of trust. Private capital have grown rapidly, yet relationships between investors and has managers remain scattered across emails, referrals, opaque networks, and coincidence. The Nest creates a single environment where verified fund managers and qualified investors can discover each other with clarity, credibility, and control.
Fund managers undergo an institutional-grade verification process, ensuring only genuine firms enter the ecosystem. Investors complete a sovereign identity and cheque-size framework that aligns them to their true behaviour in the market. This removes noise, reduces misalignment, and restores confidence to early engagement. The platform’s Reveal Protocol then enables investors to privately signal interest, selectively unlock information, and interact without losing discretion or optionality.
The Nest is not a marketplace of listings; it is curated relational infrastructure. Each profile carries depth—
mandate, strategy, track record, relational signals, and engagement patterns allowing allocators to move through managers the way real decisions are made. For managers, The Nest becomes a live trust graph: who is viewing, who is warming, and how relationships are compounding.
As it scales, The Nest becomes shared infrastructure for private capital: discovery, diligence, communication, engagement, and eventually execution. It supports families and institutions seeking genuine alignment, while giving managers a trusted pathway to expand beyond existing networks.
Ethium was the original placement business, built on deep relationships with family offices, institutions, and sophisticated private investors. It now sits under The Nest as the premium, institutional-grade placement arm, reserved for high-touch mandates requiring curated capital, structured roadshows, and strategic relationship management.
