Manage bookings
Promptly and reliably managing your booking builds trust between you and the family.
Make your availability work for you
Publish slots that match your real availability, service duration, location, and format. ParentPatch allows you to create bespoke availability or a more traditional 9-5 calendar. Remember to block out realistic time windows for travel, notes, and breaks.
Keep families at front of mind
During an initial chemistry call, ask concise suitability questions and be honest if you think you are not best placed to deliver the services. Store information according to your privacy and professional obligations.
- Reason for enquiry
- Relevant age or stage
- Format and location
- Accessibility needs
- Best contact route
Confirming your appointment
Your confirmation email will reiterate the service, time, format, price, any preparation, cancellation terms, and contact information. After you have completed the appointment, agree a follow up date if possible. Family life is busy so having a second appointment agreed early will help them arrange support if needed.
