Presenting the launch of the Calmababy App
We are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience at Calmababy, which is why, in August 2016, we were proud to launch a Calmababy App. It’s amazing to think that it was over five years ago! In that time, we’ve continued to make subtle changes to improve its functionality and user-friendliness for you. If you don’t have our App, it can be downloaded free of charge.
Why launch an App?
Our fundamental reason for launching the app was to give you easy access to your account and bookings. It allows you to book classes and courses and to cancel and re-arrange sessions you can’t attend.
Before launching the app, we received many requests from you asking to re-arrange classes due to holidays, sickness or other engagements. And while we love chatting with our customers, we just thought the app would be a helpful tool to give you the freedom to arrange some of these simple requests for yourself.
At Calmababy, it’s common to see replacement classes being booked in the wee small hours. This always makes us smile, and we can imagine a late-night feed happening simultaneously!
Functionality
So what can the app do? Via the Calmababy app, you can;
- Cancel classes you cannot attend and arrange replacement sessions
- View your account, purchases, and upcoming classes
- Browse and book a range of other services
- View Selina’s menu
- Receive push notifications
- Automatically check in to classes when you arrive at the Centre
A few simple guidelines
As with all good things in life, there are a few simple guidelines you will need to follow – especially when booking replacement classes for missed swimming sessions.
- Classes must be cancelled at least one hour before their start time. This allows enough time for other parents to book these sessions as replacements.
- We know replacement spaces can be in short supply for some age ranges. Cancelling the classes you cannot attend in advance helps free up space on the schedule for other customers.
- Before booking a replacement session, you must have at least one class available on your swimming term pass. Please check the ‘Profile’ & ‘Passes’ tabs in the App to view your active passes.
- When you have classes available to book, a head and shoulders icon will appear on the ‘Book’ tab showing availability in the classes.
Accessing your account
If you have an account with us, log in with your username (the email address we have on file) and your password. If you don’t have a password or cannot remember it, tap the ‘Forgot Password’ link on the login screen, and the App will send you a reset link. Hopefully, you now have access, but if not, please get in touch with the Centre, and one of the team is happy to help.
We are very proud of the app and love the freedom it has offered our customers. Thank you for the great feedback we have received; we will continue to develop the app in future to enable us to deliver even more value to you. If you would like further information on how the app can work for you or if you need help setting up any of the above services, please call the Centre. One of the team will be happy to assist you.
Best wishes
Chris Duff
Director
