Kidstart's a cashback site similar in its operation to Quidco and Topcashback, but it seems to be blocking all TalkTalk IP addresses:

Anyone on TalkTalk fibre broadband care to check please? Seems fine for non-TalkTalk IP addresses.

Very odd.

This site can’t be reached https://www.kidstart.co.uk’s server IP address could not be found.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

Looks more like a problem with their DNS servers than blocking it.

Use Google's public DNS servers

It's accessible for me via the Opera VPN, but I'm not overkeen on disclosing login/password details via that route.

Your VPN will be using different DNS settings. So I still say its a DNS server problem that can be easily fixed.
