First Steps for Parents

Welcome to your provider's Oakline parent portal. Follow this guide to register children, make a booking and return to the same account for family information, payments, messages and Learning Journeys.

Add the Parent Portal to Your Phone

Oakline is a Progressive Web App. On supported phones and browsers, you can add the provider's portal to your home screen and open it in a standalone app-like window. The installation prompt and wording depend on the device and browser, and Oakline is not downloaded as a separate native App Store or Google Play app.

The installed experience uses the Forest School or outdoor provider's tenant name, colours and configured branding.

1. Register & Login

If you haven't already, sign up for an account.

  • Click Register on the home page.
  • Fill in your details.
  • Once registered, Login with your email and password.

2. Register Your Child

Before you can book a session, you need to add your children to your profile.

  • Log in to your account.
  • Go to the Children tab in the dashboard.
  • Click Add Child.
  • Fill in the required details (Name, DOB, Medical Info, School, etc.).
  • Click Save.
  • Repeat this for each child you wish to book for.

3. Make a Booking

Now you are ready to book!

  • Go to the Bookings page (or click "Book Now").
  • Browse the available sessions and activities.
  • Select the session you want to book.
  • Choose which child(ren) to book for.
  • Follow the payment instructions to complete your booking.

You're all set. You will receive a confirmation email once your booking is confirmed. If the provider has configured practical information for that session, you will also receive a separate welcome email with details such as what to bring, weather preparation, food guidance or the meeting point.

Return to Your Account

Use the parent portal to review bookings and balances, manage more than one child, update supported medical, allergy, dietary, SEND, emergency contact and consent information, read messages and view published Learning Journeys.
