Pembee - The Best Forest School Booking Software
Pembee allows you to create an engaging and effective online presence for your forest school sessions. The setup is simple and does not require much technical skills.
Create your forest school listing page in minutes
Design detailed booking pages with a wide range of options to include images, attachments, booking information box, or segment information in your own way. Set participant limits per session to maintain optimal group sizes and teacher to child ratio. Customize your listing page further to allow parents to filter activities by forest school sites or by class focus, such as those focusing on motor skills, social skills, gardening skills, or connection with nature.
Various ticketing options are also available, from individual sessions to blocks of sessions. You can also sell monthly subscriptions for those who wish to attend regular sessions.
Upsell with add-ons, discounts, and session passes
Boost sales by implementing discounts that automatically apply when parents book multiple sessions. Offer 'block-booking discounts' for siblings or booking blocks of sessions. Setup discount codes with fixed amounts or percentages to incentivize early holiday club bookings or return bookings. Add optional items like craft kits or special activity materials to enhance the forest school experience.
Collect customizable attendee information at checkout
The registration process is straightforward. Once parents register on your Pembee site, they can add sessions to their cart and assign attendees. Collect essential information at checkout to create detailed child profiles, including emergency contacts and specific needs related to activities like gardening or crafts. This information forms a part of the child's ongoing profile, streamlining future bookings and enhances experiences for children.
Handle Payments with Ease
We partner with Stripe to facilitate secure online payment processing, suitable for a vast range of websites. This reassures parents during transactions. You can also set up subscription options or flexible payment plans to accommodate different needs. For those preferring offline transactions, Pembee also simplifies payment management by displaying outstanding payment balances for each booking.
Powerful Admin Tools to Organize Your Forest School
Automatic email confirmations: After a booking is made, parents will receive a confirmation email detailing their child’s upcoming forest school sessions, along with any necessary preparation information. This template is customizable to include specific reminders about what to bring for activities like circle time or gardening sessions. Parents can also access their booking history through their account on your site.
Manage and Create Bookings as an Administrator: As the manager of a forest school, you can view and manage all bookings through the admin area, easily filtering out any with outstanding payments. For parents who prefer personal interaction, you can manually book sessions and send confirmation details via email, with the option to provide parents with a link to a secure payment page, eliminating the need to handle payment details over the phone.
Easily Configure and Share Session Registers: Maintain a digital register for each session, customizing it to show the information most relevant to each activity. You can set up staff accounts with access only to attendance records, allowing for efficient session management and secure data handling. Registers can also be downloaded as CSV or PDF for offline use.
One-click Notification Email: Send out reminders or updates to all booked parents with a single click. This tool is invaluable for notifying families about upcoming sessions or any changes due to weather or other circumstances.
Analyze Business Performance to Make Informed Decisions: Utilize the administrative dashboard to track registrations and revenue from your forest school programs. Our reports help you identify trends and demand patterns, allowing you to tailor your offerings to meet the needs and interests of the families you serve.
