Successful launch of Laser

This week we successfully launched our brand new online booking system-hosted by Laser. The response from parents has been overwhelming positive. The system offers one central place to book and pay for childcare and specialist clubs, allowing parents to log on at their convenience to check availability and records.

The new variety of specialist clubs has allowed more children to access provision and be given the chance to gain new skills in a range of subjects. Whilst some of these clubs are now full we do still have some spaces left for booking. Parents are encouraged to log on as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. If you’re currently being held on a waiting list for a club, you will be contacted by email as soon as a space becomes available.  

No waiting lists for childcare

We’ve also successfully eliminated the waiting list for Breakfast (apart from Wednesday) and After school club (apart from Tuesday) by offering extra places for all age groups. This means we now have spaces in our fun, play based club. If we still have availability in January we will be able to provide ad-hoc emergency bookings for parents. We hope this helps reassure parents that their child will always be looked after. By the summer term we will be able to offer unlimited childcare bookings so parents have full flexibility with childcare and specialist club options- this is a direct outcome of the club’s consultation carried out in September.

On-line payment

Laser are working hard to launch the payment functionality and you will be notified as soon as this is ready. You will be required to pay for a full term of specialist clubs and half a term of the childcare. If you’re paying by childcare vouchers you will have the option to select this at checkout. We are registered with many voucher providers already; please connect to us by searching ‘Fielding’ or ‘W13 9TE’. Please contact clubs@fielding.ealing.sch.uk if you require more assistance with this.

We would also like to thank all parents for their patience and understanding during this transition period. We hope that everyone will experience the benefits of Laser over the next term.
