Booking Patterns

The booking pattern section is found with the child profile. In this area you are able to add different session sets, extra sessions, extra items, discounts & funding for the individual child. These are all vital aspects that relate to the nurseries finances.

Now that you have set your sessions up at nursery level you will need to apply them to the children individually. To do this follow the steps below:

Children > Select Child > Booking Pattern > Sessions > Add Session

Children > Select Child > Booking Pattern > Sessions > Add Session > Enter Start Date > Enter end date or select ongoing > Select the attendance period > Select Actuals or Averages > Select session from the drop down of each day > Save.

Start date: This is the start date of the child’s session set.

End date: This date would be the end date to a set of sessions.

Ongoing: This is to be ticked if the session set is ongoing.

Attendance Period: This is where you can select whether the child is all year round or the specific term dates.

Actuals: To be billed for the actual sessions of the invoice period.

Averages: To be billed on an average basis each month.

How do you edit a Child’s Booking Patterns?

Under each day you will see in pink ‘add session’ click this and select another session from the drop down box. This will allow you to add multiple sessions.

This is because the sessions are in the past. You will need to select session history.

You can input as many session sets into Blossom as you wish.

Hourly rate sessions require you to input the time. This is because you may apply the hourly rate session to a child that is going to do an extra hour or alternatively they could do an extra three hours.
