MD Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Class4Kids is a MUST!" March 20, 2021 5.0 Very good experience overall. I did have concerns last year when we wanted to transfer from term payments to monthly subscriptions. I repeatedly asked if I could speak to someone so they could help me through the set up but I just keep being referred to the online instructions. I couldn’t figure some aspects out so as such I had to leave it and have stuck with the term payments. I would really like to revisit this and get the subscriptions sorted soon but I felt I certainly didn’t get the support with the transition last time. It’s a big step and risk if you are unsure of what you are doing. Pros The Class4Kids system changed the way we ran our business entirely. The system is so user friendly, actual real time figures are available, finding customers past and present, up to date resisters are all available at the click of a button. Admin time has reduced drastically which means we can now focus on growth instead of constantly chasing payments. Children cannot access a class without paying for it first. The system has changed how we run completely, the tech staff are fantastic and prompt with answering any questions regarding the system and overall we are so grateful to be using Class4Kids in our business. Cons My two wishes is that whilst the communication to all the parents is easy and effective, we currently cannot send any necessary attachments. The main glitch is being unable to send promo flyers and class videos for our existing and new classes, half term camps and other things we need to promote. Visually, our colourful branded flyers get more response than just a carefully worded email. We now have to send these by using another system, Mailchimp. If it was a whole integrated system m it would save a lot of time and effort that could be used elsewhere. Secondly, I think and so do a lot of our parents that an app would be very beneficial as some parents constantly ask us for how how to pay for the classes despite being sent links over.

Also so straightforward for busy parents or guardians to use too Cons Nothing at all it was a dream, especially like the email set up to email all. Would like to see an option to be able to just email a specific term though without having to email everyone. Alternatives considered [DanceBiz](https://www.capterra.com/p/131208/DanceBiz/) Reason for choosing ClassForKids Helpful, easy to use, reasonably priced Switched from [membermeister](https://www.capterra.com/p/140240/membermeister/) Less features on MM. Review Source SI Suzanne I. Dance Teacher/Business owner Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall great booking system" April 8, 2021 5.0 I love the system. It is so easy to use and looks great to customers. It has cut down my admin time massively and would recommend to others to use. The only downside is some missing features I would like to see. I asked if there was someone I could speak to about these ideas but was told they only deal with queries and ideas online and not via phone call. I found this very odd, I didn't feel all that valued as a customer at that time. However generally it is a fab system. Pros The cut down on admin time and the layout and look of the system for customers Cons The platform fees are quite high and there are some functions you cant use unless you absorb all platforms fees. which workout costly to the business Reason for choosing ClassForKids Price and the look of the website. Also the speedy customer service and I was able to call with any queries. It would appear I can no longer do that which is disappointing, maybe because they now have so many customers. Ive been using them for many years and am yet to find a better booking system. Review Source SK Susan K.

The parents find it easy to use and straightforward to pay tuition fees. It's really easy to use on my end and helps me manage the income and saves time as parents can book straight into a class. Pros It makes it easy for parents to book into classes and pay tuition fees. I like that parents can book into the full term at the same time, as most other booking software requires parents to book each week individually which is just a nightmare. I love how easy it is for parents to use and how clean the emails look. And how simple it is to send invoices and manage the tuition fees. It's saved me hours of work each term. Cons I would really love for these three features to be included. 1)To be able to schedule emails ahead of time, (I'm having to use mail chimp just now) 2) To be able to offer appointment bookings that sync with my google calendar. I do one on one tutoring sessions,and currently use 10to8 to allow parents to see the available appointments and book into an available slot. 3) to be able to sell tickets for one off events to members and non members. I currently use event brite for this. My one off events include the end of year party, monthly storytelling events. I'd be willing to pay a little more if these things could be included. Reason for choosing ClassForKids Class 4 kids allows you to offer, and for parents to book, the full block of classes in one go. None of the others can do this. However I am using Event brite and 10to8 for the other services that class4kids doesn't offer (scheduled emails, appointments, event tickets) I would love to have everything in the one place. But it doesn't seem possible just now. Review Source LD Lianne D. Dance teacher Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Could not recommend enough!!!" April 15, 2021 5.0 I absolutely LOVE class for kids. I'd been searching for years for a system that did everything I needed: payment, email messaging, bookings, cancellations, price adjustment. before class for kids I actually had to give up my passion of teaching to be doing the "admin" aide of the business and there was just so much. using class4kids has allowed me to be a teacher again. Parents love the easy to use system and that they don't need to wait for me to respond or confirm their space during work hours. I've recommended class4kids to all my other dance teacher friends! Pros So easy to set up and use. It has saved me a ridiculous amount of time which normally would have taken me away form my passion of teaching. Simple, effective and all the features needed for my sessions to run smoothly. Love the email messaging and text messaging service to all my parents. Cons With not trading much in the year 2020-2021 if a child was not signed up on the system for a year the full contact would be deleted. I didn't realise this - think there should maybe be a reminder sent out that "you will lose these contacts soon" so you could reenroll them if needed. Reason for choosing ClassForKids The price was fantastic for what I need. The fact that you get a free trial also! And the customer service is second to none. Everyone i've ever spoken to on the team has been incredibly helpful and professional. Review Source AH Annabel H. Dance Teacher Performing Arts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brilliant customer service and support " March 19, 2021 5.0 Class for kids save me so much time on admin and encourages customers to pay their fees. It’s great that I can automatically send new enquiries to the timetable and booking link. Pros Absolutely amazing customer service and support from class for kids there is always someone who will get back to you with any query and the system does everything and more than we need including registers, medical notes even trophies. Fantastic bonus that they have massively reduced their fee to zero throughout the pandemic and I couldn’t have carried on using the system without that- I am extremely grateful for them. Cons Initially I disliked the idea that parents had to register themselves however now I see this is a plus point I term of data protection. Alternatives considered [DanceBiz](https://www.capterra.com/p/131208/DanceBiz/) Reason for choosing ClassForKids Ease of use and great customer service Review Source Response from ClassForKids April 20, 2021 Thank you for the amazing review Annabel, it really does mean a lot to us! It's great to hear that you love the system, and that it's saving you time on admin and chasing payments (as we know this can take up a lot of time for clubs). Also appreciate the lovely feedback on our customer support, which we work hard on to make sure clubs are happy and getting the most out of our system :) VR Victoria R. Managing Director E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enabling growth" March 19, 2021 5.0 Its been very good. It serves a purpose- customer service teams do get back to me. A couple of slight issues with subscription payments (would be great to receive notifications if parent has cancelled payments for example, as with large numbers can be missed and parent still received content) Pros This software allowed me to expand my offerings as it freed up time taken to book and take payments for classes Cons I've made a couple of requests for adaptations (I.e all my classes are online only but system requires a location input which can cause confusion. My classes are also pre filmed meaning that there is no set time or day to attend, but system auto generates this, also causing confusion) but have been told no changes can be made Reason for choosing ClassForKids Recommended to me Review Source Response from ClassForKids June 18, 2021 Hi Victoria! Thanks for the review of our software, it's really appreciated! Just on the back of some of your issues, with subscriptions these cannot be cancelled by parents (they have to come to you) so this is why we don't send notifications of this as they would need to request this. As for online classes, you can remove the postcode once this has been entered (so parents don't get too confused) and you can also select that the class is not live when sending the class link :) Hope that helps! AW Astrid W. Co-Director Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our office is running a lot smoother!" March 22, 2021 5.0 Using this booking system has saved our business so much time, it is incredible. We were using good old Microsoft office and excel to print registers etc. It's great to be able to access it on my phone when I am out of the office and the coaches need me to add them to a register etc. The people who offer support are very friendly and helpful and overall I am very satisfied with ClassForKids. Pros It's very easy to learn how to use it, customer support is excellent, it is very accessible on computers, tablets and phones, it is easy to set up all kinds of classes and it is easy to fix mistakes. Cons I would like to have the option of adding an "online link" to camps as during lockdown we ran our camp online and I really like this function in the normal term classes. I would also like to have the option of sorting the last name of a child alphabetically. Another thing is if I am on a class page and I want to go back to the previous page with a certain filtered selection, it goes back to the main page and I have to reselect all the filters. Reason for choosing ClassForKids It was very easy to use and price Review Source JL Jo L. Director Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Class4Kids have transformed my business" April 8, 2021 5.0 Class4kids is the best cold call I've ever taken, its meant my workload has reduced, having the functionality of the system during all three lockdowns has meant my stress levels have vastly reduced dealing with refunds etc and the fact that have put our subscription on hold for a whole year puts them right up there for professionalism and customer support. Pros Ease of use, functionality, adaptability Cons I don't think I have any cons! I love this product! Reason for choosing ClassForKids I didn't Review Source ST Shizuka T. Music Director Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good system!" March 20, 2021 5.0 I love it! Pros Class for Kids is our life saver. Very convenient, Ramsey to use, quick customer service and also they care you. I won’t be able to fine this level of system any around the world at the moment for sure! Cons In terms of our business which I work for music school, we don’t really have terms for private lesson. Our payment system is straight forward that $250/ per month and guarantee students 45 lessons in a year. Currently, we set up terms for 2 years for this private lesson program in schedule tab on this software. Parents sign up with preferable date and time in the beginning. However they wound like to change to different date. For example, originally Monday 4PM but students decide to change to Wednesday 4PM for whole rest year. Since we don’t have any auto function or those calendar which allow us to choose in the period, we need to select and save one by one for whole term for them. It would be very useful is if you can make those flexible function to integrate the system. If you are not clear that what I am explain, I wound happy to share our experiences to you anytime. Please let me know if you need to reach me. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Review Source MG Melanie G. outdoor educator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Class4Kids" March 19, 2021 5.0 I've been very impressed with it. Although it doesn't tailor exactly to my needs, it's very good. Pros ~ it will take payments when my customers book (this saves me a huge amount of admin and accounting time) ~ it manages my registers and waiting lists Cons ~ some facilities are a little clunky (I would like the option to be able to send an email message to everyone at the same time, rather than group by group) ~ I would like my registers from previous terms to remain available for me to check, rather than disappearing once they've expired ~ I would like the option to customise the booking process (sometimes I run sessions which are available to book by one family) Review Source Response from ClassForKids April 29, 2021 Thanks for the review Melanie! We really appreciate it. It's lovely to heat that payments being taken when parents book is saving you lots of admin time (that's our goal!) Good news, you can email all parents at once from your contacts page. Also previous registers can be accessed at any time from the 'past Terms' option on your schedule page. As for customising the booking process for family bookings, I will pass this back to the team :) Ashley T. managing director Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This system changed it all for Skillz!" April 12, 2021 5.0 Excellent. I love the team and their customer service. We have been with them from the start so have seen the growth and how well they have improved the system. Pros Ease of use Allows for automation of tasks Clean user face on the front end and back end Love the team behind it Cons Some features are not consistent e.g. you can sort by name order on the subscriptions tab for set up, but not for cancelled Some very simple features take a very long to implement if we request them Review Source AK Ashley K. Shareholder / Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "So so so happy with this software" March 21, 2021 5.0 The team always answer my questions within 24 hours and have always been very helpful, friendly and professional. It’s a scary thing going digital when you have been doing everything manually, but I never felt unsupported in the transition. Pros This software has streamlined my workflow and I don’t miss leads any more. The amount of time I now save is staggering. I like that I now don’t need paper! Game changer! It’s so easy to contact clients and send group emails. I also love that I can see who has opened the emails and who hasn’t. It’s helped our business grow and we went from having gaps in lessons to now being fully booked. It really has been life changing from an admin perspective. Cons I dislike the amount Stripe charge as a platform fee and wish we had the choice of PayPal or a cheaper alternative. My clients moan about the cost and I don’t wish to incur the fee as a company. If I could take all my payments through the software it would make life even easier, but the fee is too high for us ever to be able to do that. Review Source AF Annette F. Franchisor Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We Love Class for Kids!!" March 20, 2021 5.0 Brilliant. Always quick to respond to queries. Pros I would have been lost without this software during lockdown. We have continued to use the software throughout the lockdown. Further it has given us a great way to manage bookings and remove paper from our customer on boarding process which has helped us to keep both staff and customers safe during the pandemic. Finally I believe Class for Kids has been remarkable by waiving the fee of the platform for the past few months without being asked. This speaks volumes about the business and the team at Class for Kids. I will remember service and support like this. Cons I love the software but my only quibble is that I wish the cost of the platform for franchise team members was slightly less expensive. As a franchisor I find the platform so helpful however it has been difficult for me to convince my team to take the platform on at this time when there is uncertainty about when we will return to classes full time. Review Source JG Janine G. Managing Director Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great piece of software " April 8, 2021 5.0 Faffy to set up and you need to be fairly computer literate to work it out at the start. Playing with the system is the best way to learn. Pros How much time it saves me. How organised it made my classes. Efficiency levels lifted Cons It's expensive in terms of how much of my fees are forfeited for the luxury of having this system when you have a lot of classes. Reason for choosing ClassForKids This is more class based Review Source DD David D. Director of Coaching Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RGC Class4kids review" April 7, 2021 5.0 This is such an easy to use system and has freed up so much admin time. Pros Brilliantly easy to use and consolidates all aspects of club admin. Great for setting up and managing lots of different classes/sessions. Easy payment & subscription features. Cons Offline register don't seem to work anymore, this leads to not having a simple check-in button for the session (Only minor). Not being able to attach documents to an email sent from within Class4kids.

Business Owner Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly recommended - time saving & efficient " April 8, 2021 5.0 Excellent experience so far, efficient service all round! Pros User friendly, able to share features, saves time and money not having to chase for payment from clients Cons Unable to add my own class tailored to my kids club - for example Forest Adventure Day Treasure Hunt Scavenger Hunt Also I have several children leaving at different times but have to print off separate registers despite being in the same club. Times are 3-4pm, 3.4.30pm and 3-5pm, I’d like to be able to put them all in the same class with different collection times. I have to print 3 separate registers at present which is a little frustrating. Reason for choosing ClassForKids Seemed straightforward. Review Source MC Milena C. Director Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great service, great features and support " March 19, 2021 5.0 Very good experience, always happy and quick to help. Also they were really helpful during the difficult times. Thank you! Pros It helps my classes to be very organised, different options available and easy to use. Communication with parents is easy Cons It would be nice to have the option of single days payment as this is something parents ask, specially the in-person classes. I know there are options but found it not easy to do. When sending links for online classes, some parents prefer to have the ID number rather than the link to clock so I would suggest having them both Reason for choosing ClassForKids On the free trial I had a good experience and saved me time in admin and registers Review Source Response from ClassForKids June 18, 2021 Hi Milena, thanks so much for the fantastic review! We have taken your feedback and passed this over to the product team, as this helps make the system the best it can be :) CL Catherine L. Owner and class teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great system " April 7, 2021 5.0 Makes it easier for customers to return to book. It’s easy for me to see customers details, any health problems and ages so I k ow how to tailor my sessions. Very easy for me to change sessions when asked by customers. I can set up lots of different sessions easily and can hide them for early link for my mailing list before opening them up before anyone else. If there’s something I’m not sure of, I can usually find it by looking through the website sir then asking the team if I can’t see what I want. Pros Easy to use, straight forward navigation Cons No straightforward way to credit customers Switched from [ClassBiz](https://www.capterra.com/p/180368/ClassBiz/) Not as user friendly and head office had shown us this product instead Review Source CC Chris C. gymnastics coach Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "class for kids review from CGA" April 8, 2021 5.0 good Pros easy to use, easy for customers to use. great way of keeping track of payments Cons a bit expensive as its there is a percentage per payment as well as £30 per month. Cant attached items to email. Reason for choosing ClassForKids easy use for users Review Source RT Rebecca T. Dance teacher Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have admin product for any business " March 20, 2021 5.0 High level service, customer care and a fantastic product. Pros I couldn’t recommend this software more highly! It changed how I worked and gave me back precious hours to spend with my family. As the director of the business, I used to have to plough through registers and chase payments which was not why I became a dance teacher. Class 4 Kids has given me back the fun side of my job! Cons The only reason I’ve looked at switching is because Stripe take too much money. Quite often emails send to junk and parents say they haven’t received. Review Source JW James W. Director Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Platform!" March 21, 2021 5.0 Excellent! Pros Apart from the pricing and support which are unbeatable in my view, the platform allows my team to run a busy sports coaching business with relative ease in terms of the admin aspects and provides a stable and trustworthy online experience for our customers. Cons No real dislikes, but would like to see more features rolled out to enhance the user experience. Merchandising is one area I think we could benefit from a C4K development. Reason for choosing ClassForKids Stumbled on C4K when looking into software options and so glad we did! Review Source SG Steven G. Coaching Director Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Soccer Minions Review" April 7, 2021 5.0 I have been really impressed with the support from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and the team always giving detailed information about how to understand the system better. Excellent customer service. I like the system and it helps me run my business efficiently saving me time and paperwork. Pros I really like how much time it saves me having this automated online system that helps me organise my groups. It reduces my work load massively by allowing parents to sign up easily and make payments online without handling cash each session. Cons It took a while to get used to using a new system and adapting to this software but there's plenty of guides online of how to use the system. I think it would be great if I could score the players who attend my sessions on a number of categories for each term. This would help show development levels, progress and parents can be sent an automated report on their performance/behaviour level/attendance. Allowing trophies or certificates to be awarded based on these categories would then be possible. Reason for choosing ClassForKids I noticed another coaching company using the system therefore I contacted them to get a better understanding and it suited my needs. Review Source PC Paige C.

Massive thank you to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] for originally setting me up and taking my first enquiry, she was polite and very quick at getting back to me. After that I was handed over to Colin, he has been amazing. He took so much time to show me the system, answer all the many questions I had and most importantly put my mind at ease. His response time with getting back to me was brilliant. Pros The registers Payments Information about the class Camps Extra features- trophies etc Cons Nothing really all I would maybe suggest is looking to the trophie section showing up on the register when you view it. Maybe next to the child’s name and also medical information. At the moment it doesn’t come up unless you click onto more details for the child. Review Source SH Steve H.

I'm in my second school term and all setup for the summer term too. It has and is saving me so much time and so much admin ! The support is fantastic too when I have had a query and cannot find it in the "help" section. Pros Ease of use, very user friendly, which stops the amount of emails and queries I receive. Also the payment via stripe saves me so much time ! Cons I would like a search by student facility. At the moment I can search if I have the parents email address only ?
