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 over 3 weeks ago

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.
