Change one day

Use a one-off day for an exception to the usual arrangement: an extra afternoon, a different room or a day with no care booked. Owners and managers can make these changes.

Add or change the day

1. Open Schedules → Children and go to the relevant week.
2. Select the child’s day and choose This day only…, or Change this day only… if an exception already exists.
3. Enter the hours and rooms for that date. If no care is booked, choose the option for not attending.
4. Check any ECCE hours, then select Save this day.
5. Check the grid shows This day only on the intended date.

This replaces the usual arrangement for that date. It does not change the rest of the week or turn a school holiday into a term day. A child can have one-off care even without a usual schedule.

Return to the usual arrangement

Select the day and choose Remove this day only…. Removing the exception reveals the underlying schedule again. If there is no underlying care for that date, no care is scheduled.

When to use an absence instead

If the child is sick or taking a personal holiday from scheduled care, mark an absence. That keeps the planned care and records why they did not attend.

If the whole setting is closed, add a closure day instead of changing every child separately.
