Twelve children is twenty-four people.

The grown-up stays. Count the children and Thursday looks half empty; count the room and it is full, and the room is what everybody is standing in.

Decided at breakfast.

Whether to face leaving the house is the actual decision. A booking that takes longer than ten seconds is one that does not happen.

A few pounds, in a tin, on a Tuesday.

This is the smallest transaction in the catalogue, run by volunteers out of a church hall. Anything that makes it more complicated than it already is has cost more than it earns.

  • Cash is free to record

    A playgroup runs on coins and a float tin, and recording what came in against the right session costs nothing on the Free plan.

  • Regulars are set up once

    The family who comes every Tuesday keeps their place all term instead of booking the same morning again and again.

  • Given up, given away

    A place released the night before goes back on the page for somebody else, which is the only chance you get to fill it.

A day of classes, each shown as a session with the seats booked out of the total.

Built for your group

Built for every session you hold

Open playgroup

Reserve the family place, playroom and session leader and remove that capacity as soon as this playgroup session is confirmed.

Baby play sessions

Keep the playgroup session time, assigned person and attendee details together from booking to arrival.

Toddler mornings

Offer this option online only while its family place, playroom and session leader are genuinely free.

Sensory play

Move the booking while keeping its playgroup session record clear for everyone working that day.

Music and movement

Use a standing booking when the playgroup session repeats weekly or monthly on the same timetable.

Outdoor playgroup

Keep the agreed playgroup session fee and payment status beside the confirmed place.

Half-term sibling session

Open a dedicated block without confusing it with the normal playgroup session timetable.

Term-time toddler group

Adjust this local booking pattern while protecting every other playgroup session in the diary.

Pro

Fees beside the right booking.

Keep the playgroup session fee and booking together, whether payment is recorded manually or taken by card.

  • Record desk payments

    Mark cash or bank transfer against the playgroup session when payment arrives outside online checkout.

  • Take cards with Pro

    Let customers pay the family-session fee when the playgroup place is reserved by card online when the booking is confirmed.

  • Keep the balance visible

    See the payment status beside the playgroup session rather than searching a separate note or inbox.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your playgroup sessions business.

Online booking

Publish live playgroup session times for term-time playgroups; each confirmation closes the assigned family place before another customer can take it.

Children and grown-ups

Every child brings an adult who stays, so twelve places is twenty-four people and the hall fills at twice the rate the register suggests.

Scheduling

Keep each playgroup session, family place and staff member together when term-time playgroups move, so the desk can change a time without a clash.

Standing bookings

Set a weekly or monthly playgroup session for regular attendees, holding its family place until the chosen end date or final occurrence.

The hall has a number

Places stop where the room does, and a place given up goes back on the page for whoever is deciding at breakfast whether to come.

Email reminders

Send email reminders with the confirmed playgroup session time, helping attendees arrive ready while staff keep working from the same booking.

Customers

Keep contact details and earlier playgroup session bookings together, so returning families or attendees do not repeat their history each time.

Team

Give staff one current view of each playgroup session, its family place, assigned people and every timetable change made that day.

Payments

Record cash or bank transfer for the playgroup session on Free, or take the industry-specific fee by online card with Pro at confirmation.

Common questions.

Yes. Publish genuine availability for the family place, playroom and session leader; a confirmed booking removes the matching capacity from the times customers can choose.

Yes. A weekly or monthly playgroup session can run indefinitely, end on a date or stop after a chosen number, and standing bookings are included on Free.

Yes. Each confirmed playgroup session holds its family place, so that capacity is no longer shown as available for the same time.

Bookables supports email reminders for confirmed playgroup session bookings. Staff at the local church-hall playgroup can work from that current booking.

Yes. Create a quote for a private playgroup session, course or group request and keep it with the customer and booking details.

With Pro, customers can pay the family-session fee when the playgroup place is reserved by card online. On Free, record cash and bank-transfer payments against the playgroup session manually.
