Reach the right families

The right message to exactly the right list.

One place for every conversation — a single parent, a session’s families or your whole list — with the AI to help you write it.

What’s included

Message centre — 1:1 & group chat

Every conversation in one inbox — message a single parent or a whole group, and keep the history against the family.

Email campaigns to chosen audiences

Send to a chosen audience — booked families, everyone on a listing or your whole list — and see who opened it.

AI writes your messages

Describe what you need and the AI drafts the message or email for you — tweak the tone and send in seconds.

Newsletters & announcements

Post to your newsfeed for updates everyone should see — term dates, weather calls, celebrations — in one place.

Merge fields

Personalise at scale with fields like child name, session and venue — every family gets a message that reads like it’s just for them.

Consent-aware

Opt-outs are respected automatically, so marketing only reaches families who’ve said yes — you stay on the right side of the rules.

A parent app in your brand

Your brand on every family’s phone.

Your logo, your colours and everything a parent needs, a couple of taps away.

What’s included

Your logo & colours

Carries your logo and brand colour and opens from any phone browser, so parents see your business.

Book & pay in a couple of taps

Re-booking is instant — details saved, payment ready, place confirmed before they’ve put the kettle on.

Wallet credit for quick re-bookings

Credit from refunds, cancellations and memberships sits in the wallet and spends in a tap — faster checkouts for them, money that stays with you.

Moments — photos & day updates

Share photos and little updates from the day — parents feel part of it and you field far fewer ‘how did they get on?’ messages.

Refer-a-friend rewards

Happy parents invite their friends and earn credit — word-of-mouth growth built right into the app.

11 languages

English plus 10 other languages spoken by UK families, so every parent can book and read updates in their own.

Ready when you are

Give parents a better experience.

And give yourself far fewer messages.
