We all know the feeling. It’s the summer holidays, you’re expecting 70% occupancy according to your charts, and then your two toddler room twins don’t appear. You call up their designated contact, and get a hurried ‘Oh, so sorry! We’re in the airport about to fly to [insert enviable holiday destination here]. We booked it last week – did I not say?’.
Suddenly you’re two children down, and your two staff due to look after 7 could now be one looking after 5 – there’s a day’s worth of pay you aren’t getting back. Alternatively, you could have offered 5 extra sessions instead of 3 and get your occupancy back closer to perfection.
Holiday RSVPs to save on uncertainty
You might not have experienced the exact scenario above, but you’ll definitely have experienced children not turning up because the designated contact missed the ‘contact’ part off their role and your staff planning being a little off as a result. So now you can give them a nudge about it before it happens.
Holiday RSVPs are here on Ovivio, giving you the opportunity to nudge the famously forgetful and make booking holidays a breeze for your parents. Simply send out an email (which gets coupled with a handy push notification on their phone) and contacts can add the holiday info in the Parent App.
We’ve included a summary dashboard for every Holiday RSVP so you can see if anyone needs an extra prod, as well as keep track of attendance on every holiday. Parent’s app responses automatically update as leave on your Ovivio platform, so even if they forget to tell you in person you’ve got it in the system.
Take the uncertainty out of holiday seasons with Holiday RSVPs, and keep your nursery running smoothly while optimising your staffing decisions.
