Make-up arrangements are easier to administer when families and staff can see eligibility, availability and the agreed booking. Clear records help avoid conflicting promises.
A practical starting point
A parent arranges a replacement session with one tutor while reception separately offers another slot. Both are treated as confirmed.
Turn the idea into a working routine
- Publish the centre’s approved make-up rules in understandable language.
- Record each request with the missed session, agreed replacement and the person who confirmed it.
- Review the replacement class list before the session and close the request after attendance is recorded.
Measure what matters
Track unresolved requests and conflicting bookings. Use recurring confusion to improve instructions rather than adding informal exceptions.
Promising a slot before checking capacity can disrupt the receiving class.
What should the team agree before putting this into practice?
Agree who may confirm a make-up session and how exceptions to the centre’s rules are approved.
MAKE IT PRACTICAL
