Your ChildcareNow Activity Centre Rolls tab allows you to have full control over the Vacancies that the parents at your centre are able to see and book.


This function is especially useful on occasions where you don't have enough staff members in certain rooms and would like to stop extra bookings to come through. 

PLEASE NOTE: Consult with your Manager before making changes as this will affect what casual bookings your centre is offering.

You can cap your ChildcareNow Bookings on individual dates as well as permanently on select day(s).
​ 
To cap your ChildcareNow Bookings on individual dates, follow the steps below:

  1. Scroll to the specific date you'd like to cap your ChildcareNow Bookings on. 

  2. Select the room in which you'd like to cap your ChildcareNow Bookings

  3. Change the Capacity for the room & date by clicking under Edit Capacity and enter the New Capacity you'd like to set.

  4. Select Update


Now the new Capacity for the date and room has been set.

If this new Capacity is equal to or less than the number of the current attendees, this means we'll stop generating openings for that room on that date.
