Your identity stays visible
The tenant name, colours and configured branding carry into the family experience instead of ending at a generic booking link.
Your Forest School, on every parent's phone
A branded parent app for your Forest School
Passwordless booking links are convenient for a quick transaction. Oakline gives families a tenant-branded portal they can return to for bookings, payments, child records, messages and Learning Journeys, and install on supported phones as a Progressive Web App.
Guides and feature details
Continue with the exact workflow
Use the Help Centre for step-by-step guidance or check the feature matrix for current availability and conditions.
Designed around the work
Less reconciliation, more confidence in the day
Oakline keeps the customer journey and the provider workflow connected from the first booking through to session delivery and reporting.
Families have one place to return
Parents can revisit bookings, balances, messages, children and learning records without rebuilding their details for every session.
Records remain connected
Medical, dietary, SEND, emergency and consent information stays attached to the child record used by authorised operational workflows.
One connected workflow
Built for the way outdoor providers actually operate
Install from a supported browser
Oakline is a Progressive Web App rather than a separately distributed native-store app. Supported devices and browsers can add the portal to the phone and open it in a standalone app-like window.
Manage the whole family
One parent account can manage more than one child, future and past bookings, outstanding balances, credits and family information.
Keep important information current
Families can maintain child details including medical and allergy information, SEND context, emergency contacts and consents for the provider to use responsibly.
Return for more than checkout
Private messages and Learning Journeys create a continuing parent experience after booking, with observations, development, galleries and attendance kept in separate views.
A relationship, not a series of one-off transactions
The parent account does not reset when a session ends. Booking history, attendance history, payment history and the Learning Journey timeline all stay connected to the same child and family record, so a returning family and their provider can look back over the whole relationship rather than starting again each term.

Questions, answered
What providers usually ask
Do parents need to download Oakline from an app store?
No. Oakline is a Progressive Web App. On supported devices and browsers, families can add the provider portal to their phone without an App Store or Google Play download. Browser and device support can vary.
Is the parent app branded to my Forest School?
Yes. The family portal uses the provider tenant's name, colour settings and available logo or icon configuration. Oakline remains the platform behind the experience.
Can parents manage more than one child?
Yes. One parent account can hold multiple child records and manage bookings and information for siblings.
Can parents update medical and emergency information?
Yes. Families can maintain supported medical, allergy, dietary, SEND, emergency contact and consent fields. Providers remain responsible for checking that information and using it appropriately.
Can families see Learning Journeys?
Yes. Parents can select a child and review published Moments, Development, Gallery and Attendance views, subject to the provider's records and photo-consent checks.
Does Oakline keep a family's booking, attendance and payment history?
Yes. These stay attached to the family's own account and child records rather than being tied to a single session, so parents and providers can look back across previous terms, not just the current one.
Can parents see previous Learning Journeys, not just the latest one?
Yes. Published Moments, Development, Gallery and Attendance views build into a timeline for each child that parents can revisit, and export by date range as a PDF.
