Websites for holiday clubs
Web design for holiday clubs: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Parents book in a panic when term dates land. Be ready before they look.
Holiday childcare is bought in short, frantic bursts: the moment working parents realise the summer holidays are six weeks long and they have four weeks of leave between them.
The clubs that fill are the ones with dates, prices and booking live well before that moment, because parents book the first workable option they find.
What your customers want answered
- What dates and times are you running
- What ages do you take and what does it cost
- Can I book single days or must it be a week
- Do children need to bring lunch, and what do they do all day
- Are your staff checked and what are the ratios
Publish a real daily timetableParents are choosing between a club their child will enjoy and one they will endure. Showing what actually happens — the activities, the outdoor time, the wet weather plan — converts better than a list of themes.
Dates published too late
Parents plan leave months ahead. A club that publishes summer dates in June has already lost the bookings to one that published in March.
Dates, activities and ages
Parents plan holiday childcare weeks ahead. Show the dates you run, the ages you take, daily hours, what children will do and what to bring, with photos from previous clubs.
Easy booking
Online booking by day or week, prices, sibling discounts if offered, and payment options such as tax-free childcare where you accept it. Safeguarding and staff information reassure parents.
Keeping children safe and happy
Parents need to know their children are safe. Explain staff-to-child ratios, how staff are checked and trained, first aid cover, and how you handle allergies, medication and additional needs. Say how children are signed in and out and who can collect them.
Describe a typical day so children know what to expect, with a balance of active and calm activities. Mention lunches and snacks, what happens on rainy days and how you help new children settle and make friends.
