Best Class Booking System: Why ClassForKids Stands Out For Kids’ Clubs

1. Is It Easy to Set Up and Use ClassForKids? 

Everyone’s a bit change-averse. Sticking to what you know is just human nature and this applies to your team, your customers and probably you too. 

That’s why we’ve built a system that feels simple from the very first day you use it and we make sure you have a smooth experience with: 

• Free personalised onboarding so you feel confident and comfortable right away 
• The ability to set up terms, workshops and camps in minutes and start taking bookings before your first class even begins 
• Flexible pricing options, including termly pricing or monthly subscriptions, which you can switch on in a click 
• A secure way to collect and store emergency contacts, medical notes, photo consent and other key information in one central location  

And if you ever need a hand, our award-winning support team is just a message away. Your class booking system should come with reliable support and that’s exactly what you get here. 

2. What’s the Booking and Payment Experience Like for Parents? 

If a kids’ club doesn’t offer online booking, most parents will start looking elsewhere. Why? Because they want a fast, professional booking process without the endless back-and-forth of emails or phone calls.  

With the best class booking system, parents can book and pay in just 3 clicks. And yes, that’s ClassForKids. 

Here’s what parents can do with ClassForKids: 

• Check your schedule, live availability, prices and any important notes instantly 
• Book and pay in just 3 clicks once they’ve chosen their class 
• See your cancellation and refund terms before confirming their booking 
• Get instant booking confirmations and invoices automatically sent to their inbox 

You’ll also have your own branded booking page to share on WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram, plus a free listing on our Discovery Site where thousands of parents search for activities every week. A smooth, reliable booking process is one of the biggest reasons so many kids’ clubs rate ClassForKids as the best class booking system.

3. Can ClassForKids Help With Payment Chasing?

Want to hear a stat that might surprise you? Research from Intuit QuickBooks* found that UK small businesses lose an estimated £6.3 billion worth of time every year chasing late payments instead of making money and growing the business. 

That’s why we’ve found a way to make sure you never have to chase a payment again. With ClassForKids, you can take upfront payments online before a child even sets foot in class, or set up monthly subscriptions so the money comes in automatically. You can also create and send invoices for one-off purchases such as merchandise, tickets and events, helping you collect additional payments quickly.

This means you get: 

• Predictable income 
• Fewer cancellations 
• The confidence to plan for growth 

And parents can:  

• Choose the payment method that suits them 
• Spread the cost of the term over 12 months with subscriptions 
• Enjoy the convenience of secure online payments 

It’s a win for everyone – except those pesky late payments, which won’t be making a comeback.  

4. Does ClassForKids Help Turn Trials into Customers? 

Trials are a brilliant way to bring new customers through the door. But they only pay off if you make it easy for parents and kids to go from “we tried it” to “we’re in”. The best class scheduling software should make that transition effortless without adding to your workload. 

That’s exactly what ClassForKids is designed to do. You can: 

• Create free or paid trials in seconds, with limits on how many sessions can be booked per child 
• Send quick, friendly follow-ups with a direct link for parents to book and pay 
• Track which classes convert the most trials into customers so you can double down on what works and improve what doesn’t

5. How Does ClassForKids Support Long-term Growth?

Want to run classes in a new area? Add holiday camps to your timetable? Or maybe even franchise one day? Whatever your goals are, your booking system should make growth easier, not get in your way. 

ClassForKids gives you more than just software, which means you can: 

• Add as many venues, teachers and customers as you like without paying extra 
• Use your booking and payment data to spot trends, plan ahead and make confident decisions 
• Keep standards high and experiences consistent across every location if you franchise 
• Stay in control of your whole franchise while still supporting each location individually 

And we don’t just give you the tools to manage growth. We help you get there too, with: 

• Competitions with prizes worth up to £10K to invest back into your club 
• Exclusive events, workshops and partnerships with top brands and governing bodies 
• Unlimited access to ClassForKids Academy, packed with practical business resources 
• A supportive network of club owners, teachers and industry experts 

We’re here to help you grow and give you the tools to handle that growth with confidence. Take a look at our pricing to see the full package.

6. How Does ClassForKids Support Safeguarding? 

You might not have the same safeguarding responsibilities as a school, but you still handle sensitive personal data and, more importantly, parents trust you with their children’s safety. That’s why ClassForKids is built with safeguarding in mind. 

With ClassForKids, you get: 

• ISO-certified data security and full GDPR compliance, so you can store information with confidence 
• Parent-supplied medical details, emergency contacts and photo consent collected as part of every booking 
• Smart registers that show each coach all the information they need for their class and nothing they don’t 
• Class capacity controls to help you maintain safe teacher-to-child ratios
