Bookings, contracts, and capacity
in one visual grid

Session-based bookings with recurring contracts, custom sessions, session swaps, and real-time capacity management. See your entire week at a glance.

Three ways to book

nursery.click supports the booking patterns nurseries actually use — from regular weekly schedules to one-off sessions and everything in between.

Contract bookings

Recurring weekly schedules that repeat automatically. Set up a contract with Monday AM and Wednesday Full Day, and bookings are generated for every week within the contract period.

Ad-hoc bookings

One-off sessions for extra days, holiday clubs, or trial sessions. Pick a child, pick a date, pick a session — done. Ad-hoc bookings appear on the register and invoices just like contract bookings.

Custom sessions

For children who don't fit standard session times. Specify exact start and end times and a custom cost. Ideal for wraparound care, breakfast clubs, or flexible arrangements.

Visual booking grid

The booking grid shows your entire week in a colour-coded view. Each child's bookings appear as chips on the grid, colour-coded by booking type.

Colour-coded chips

Contract bookings, ad-hoc bookings, and custom sessions each have a distinct colour. Spot booking patterns and gaps at a glance.

Week and day views

Switch between a full week overview and a detailed day view. The week view shows capacity utilisation; the day view shows individual session details.

Swaps, capacity, and contracts

Session swaps

Parents want to swap Tuesday for Thursday this week? Session swaps handle it cleanly — with optional swap fees applied automatically based on your fee policy.

Capacity warnings

The system warns when a booking would exceed room or session capacity. Overlap detection prevents double-booking a child for the same time slot.

Contract management

Create, edit, and change contracts with a full audit trail. Every contract change is recorded with the effective date, reason, and who made the change.

Contract change fees

When a contract is changed mid-period, the system can apply change fees based on your nursery's fee policy. Fees appear as line items on the next invoice.

Booking exceptions

Mark specific dates as exceptions (bank holidays, inset days, nursery closures). Contract bookings are automatically skipped on exception dates.

Cancellation policies

Configurable notice periods and charge percentages. Cancel within the notice period and the cancellation fee is calculated and applied automatically.
