Cheqdin's answer

1. Truly all-in-one – Online registrations, ad-hoc & contracted bookings, automated invoicing, real-time payments and rich parent communications sit in a single, cloud-based platform, so you don’t have to juggle multiple apps.  
2. Self-service enrolment that lives anywhere – CheqForm lets you embed branded registration forms on your website or socials; parents can update and resubmit details at any time, wiping out paper workflows.
   
3. Flexible booking + live occupancy – Offer both contract and ad-hoc sessions while a built-in occupancy planner and live ratio tracker keep every room compliant and profitable. 
4. Automated cashflow – Recurring invoices are generated from booking rules and auto-reconciled through PayPal, Stripe or GoCardless, slashing admin and late-payment chase-ups.
   
5. Free plan and Transparent pricing – A generous free plan (full feature access, no setup fees) and pay-as-you-grow tiers make Cheqdin accessible to settings of every size. 
6. Digital Attendance & Sign In-Out – Digital registers, bulk sign-in/out, secure PIN pick-ups and real-time staff-to-child ratios keep children safe and compliance effortless. 
7. Regulation-ready insights – One-click reports for funding, occupancy, safeguarding and EYFS/Ofsted compliance put inspectors’ questions at your fingertips. 
8. Enterprise integrations & painless migration – Multi-site dashboards, open API links to Xero, Mailchimp, GoCardless, Stripe and more, plus human-led onboarding mean you’re up and running fast. 
9. Modern UX parents love – A sleek web, iOS and Android experience keeps staff productive and parents engaged—with 5-star reviews to prove it.  
10. Customer-verified ROI – Testimonials highlight time savings, reduced paperwork and new revenue created by the unique ad-hoc booking engine.
