Adding a new room

Rooms are essentially your childminder workspace. You will need to set this up in order to assign booking patterns to children

Updated this week

Rooms help you organise children and bookings (and see capacity/ratios).
If you only use one space, just create a single room called “Main Room”.

Why set this up? You’ll assign children’s booking plans to a room so registers and reports are accurate.
