Childcare Booking Software for Breakfast Clubs, After-School Clubs and Nurseries
An overview of our booking solution for school-run childcare
How our booking software can help your school
Understanding the needs of your school
We understand that schools need their wraparound childcare to be a safe, secure and measurable source of income.
Equally, we understand that online booking software must meet vital standards of safeguarding and data protection.
We have been working with schools, academies, MATs and LAs since 2006, so you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
Some key benefits
- Safeguarding controls, ensuring total accuracy of registers, parent & pupil details, and customisable ratios
- Secure and reliable financial controls, ensuring you have a crystal clear picture of the financial position of your breakfast, after school or holiday club at any time
- An intuitive and simple user experience, ensuring school staff, club staff and parents can get the information they need in matter of moment
Built for wraparound childcare management
Our online management system is tailored to meet the unique needs of schools operating in-house wraparound childcare, school run nursery care and school holiday camps, distinguishing itself from the multitude of general-purpose software solutions available.
While many other providers offer generic software, our system is finely tuned to streamline the intricacies of managing childcare services within an educational setting.
