Packages and Subscriptions for Childcare Booking, Made Delightfully Simple

Running childcare is busy enough. Your booking system should help parents commit to regular care, make it easy to book sessions, and keep your admin wonderfully under control.

With packages and subscriptions, you can offer prepaid bundles, recurring plans, and flexible class or session booking in one smooth experience. Parents get a simpler way to book. Your team gets fewer back-and-forth messages and a clearer view of what’s been purchased, used, and still available. Breely supports prepaid packages, recurring subscriptions, client self-service, reporting, and booking forms you can share directly or embed on your site.

Offer care packages parents actually understand

Whether you provide nursery sessions, after-school clubs, holiday camps, or enrichment classes, packages let you bundle bookings into a format that feels simple and predictable.

You can create packages based on:

• A set number of appointments
• A total amount of time
• A total dollar amount
• A specific number of appointments for each event type

That means you can shape offers around the way your childcare business really works, like:

• 5-session preschool bundles
• Holiday club passes
• Flexible session credits
• Mixed-use packages across eligible booking types

Even better, parents don’t need codes or complicated steps. When they book with the same name and email they used to purchase, the system automatically applies their package to eligible bookings.

Turn regular attendance into recurring revenue

Subscriptions are ideal for families who book ongoing care. You can set up recurring plans that renew weekly, monthly, every other week, every 3 months, yearly, and more. You can also choose what happens to unused balance on renewal: roll it over, reset it, or leave it as-is.

This makes subscriptions a great fit for:

• Weekly childminding plans
• Monthly nursery memberships
• After-school club subscriptions
• Ongoing activity or enrichment programs

You can also offer discounts on additional bookings for subscribed families, which is a lovely way to reward loyalty without adding admin chaos. And yes, the system can send notifications around renewals, upcoming expiration, and even failed payments.

Give parents a smooth, self-serve booking experience

Parents can purchase packages or subscriptions through a form that includes the Packages question, and Breely automatically adds a form for this when the feature is enabled. Clients can then book eligible appointments or classes without needing redemption codes.

Forms can also support:

• Class booking on a weekly or monthly calendar
• Filters by class type
• Client login for viewing balances
• Custom questions and conditional logic
• Online payments during booking with Stripe integration

That means fewer “How many sessions do we have left?” emails, and more confident bookings from busy parents.

Keep admin easy, even when the day is anything but

On the admin side, you can manage packages and subscriptions, view client balances, manually assign plans to families, and track how much has been redeemed. Clients can also log in to check balances, cancel a subscription, or update their card for billing where supported.

You also get practical tools to help your team stay organised:

• Set weekly hours and override availability when needed
• Manage appointments and class bookings in one place
• Build custom forms for registration and intake
• Use automations for reminders and follow-ups
• Add booking to your website with a direct link or embedded form

And when you want the big picture, reports can show bookings, clients, classes, payments, and package or subscription balances with filters, grouping, and export options.

A smarter way to run childcare bookings

A package and subscription booking system helps you do more than fill slots. It helps you build routine, improve retention, and make booking feel easy for families from the very first click.
