Use the holding room

Not sure whether a child is staying? Put them in the holding room and keep planning without them affecting your numbers.

1/4Open the ⋯ menu on a child’s card and choose Move to holding room.

  1. Open the ⋯ menu on the child's card and choose Move to holding room.
  2. The child leaves the room. The room's Spots and Educators, and the plan totals, update without them.
  3. A Holding room button appears at the bottom of the room, with a count. Click it to see who's held.
  4. To bring a child back, open the ⋯ menu on their card in the holding room and choose Restore.

The holding room only affects this plan. Nothing changes in your CCMS or in your other plans.

If you know a child is leaving, use Leave centre in the same menu instead. Keep the holding room for when you’re not sure yet.
