Add a Child & Contacts

Children > Add a new child > Input general information > Add the contact details (select New or Existing) > Review > Enrol Child.

You will then be asked if you would like to add the child’s booking pattern now or later.

If now, you can find the steps for this on the article ‘Booking Patterns’.

Once the child has been registered, the child will appear on the 'Children' page.

Below is the information that will be needed when following the process of adding a child.

Remember! Please ensure your sessions & rooms are set up before adding a child.

Once the children are added, remember to update the child's permissions.

Child Permissions

The child's general, media, and medical permissions can be edited in the child's About section of their profile once the child has been added onto Blossom.

Children > select child > About > click 'Edit' next to any section > Update.

Parents cannot edit child permissions in the Parent App, as this is more sensitive data that they will need to inform the nursery about directly. Only nursery staff can edit a child's permissions.

To view the history of who has made edits to the child's profile, you can follow these steps:

Children > select child > About > 3 dots: Profile history.
