Configuring Additional Booking Information

Choose what information to collect from parents when they book.

By default, Bookabee collects the booker's name and email, and asks for their phone number as an optional extra. You can enable additional fields per class to collect more information from parents during booking.

Available fields

  • Child's name — the name of the child attending the class.
  • Child's date of birth — to help with age-appropriate grouping.
  • Year group — the child's school year group.
  • Medical conditions — any medical information you should know.
  • Allergies — allergy information.
  • Dietary requirements — dietary needs.
  • SEND requirements — special educational needs or disabilities.
  • Photo permission — whether the parent consents to photos being taken.

Enabling fields

  1. Go to the class detail page in your dashboard.
  2. In the "Additional Booking Information" section, click "Edit".
  3. Toggle on the fields you want to collect.
  4. Click "Save" to apply your changes.

Requiring a phone number

The booker's phone number is always on the booking form, but it's optional unless you say otherwise. Tick "Require a phone number" in the same Edit panel and parents won't be able to complete a booking without one — useful when a venue insists on a contact number for every child.

Field values are shown on the booking detail page in your dashboard and can be exported along with booking data.

Tip

When you duplicate a class, the booking field configuration is copied to the new class automatically.
