At Boom Sports, we believe booking activities for children should be quick and straightforward for parents. The Boom Sports booking system allows families to organise holiday camps and wraparound care in just a few steps. As a result, parents can manage bookings with confidence.
Our online booking platform helps parents organise activities throughout the school year. Whether you are booking half term camps, after school childcare or breakfast clubs, the process remains simple. Furthermore, with our system, parents can manage bookings, update details, and check schedules easily.
This guide explains how booking with Boom Sports works and offers helpful tips so parents can book with ease.
Why the Boom Sports Booking System Helps Parents
Parents often manage busy schedules daily. Therefore, a reliable childcare booking system saves valuable time. Instead of making phone calls or sending emails, parents can complete bookings online in minutes.
The Boom Sports booking system is powered by MagicBooking. This platform allows parents to register once and manage all activities from a single account. For example, parents can book activity camps and wraparound care through the same system.
Additionally, parents can update contact details and view upcoming activities whenever they need. Consequently, everything stays organised in one place.
MagicBooking is a secure platform used by schools and activity providers across the UK. As a result, parents can feel confident that their information is stored safely and managed reliably.
Step 1: Visit the Boom Sports Website
The first step when booking with Boom Sports is to visit our website.
From the homepage, parents can explore a wide range of activities and services. For example, they can learn more about holiday camps, sports parties, and wraparound care programmes.
To make a booking, parents should navigate to the parents dropdown and select wraparound care or holiday camps, depending on what you are booking. These pages provide details about our services, including sample timetables.
Parents can also locate their child’s school/camp location on this page and access the relevant booking options.

Step 2: Click the Book Now Button
After exploring the website, parents should find their school/camp location and click the book now button.
This will open MagicBooking, the platform that powers the Boom Sports booking system.

MagicBooking allows parents to create an account or log in if they already registered previously.
This step ensures that parents can manage all bookings easily in one secure place.

Step 3: Create Your Parent Account
Creating an account with MagicBooking only takes a few minutes.
Parents simply enter their contact information, including their email address and phone number.

Once parents have agreed to the terms and conditions and set their preferences, they will need to verify their account. Next, they add details for each child who will attend the activities.

At this stage, parents can also include important information such as doctor’s details, emergency contacts, and authorised collectors. This information helps staff prepare sessions effectively and ensures the correct contacts are available if needed.

Once parents create their account, they can log in at any time to manage their bookings.
Step 4: Add Your Centre
After creating an account, parents must select their centre. This step ensures the system displays activities available at their chosen school or camp location.
Parents can complete this step by selecting account, then centres, and updating the centre information.
Once this step is complete, the booking system will display available activities.
Consequently, parents can see all relevant options for their child.

Step 5: Choose the Activity You Want to Book
Now parents can choose the activity they want to book. For example, they may wish to secure a place at one of our holiday camps or book an afternoon at our after school care.
Parents simply select book activity and then choose the relevant programme. The system will display available dates and session options.
Parents can also view activity descriptions and pick up times before confirming the booking. Therefore, they can select the most suitable option for their child.

Step 6: Select Dates for Camps and Activities
After selecting the activity, parents choose their preferred dates. This step allows families to plan around school holidays and work schedules.
The Boom Sports booking system allows parents to book specific days or a full week depending on their needs. This flexibility allows parents to book sessions when they need them most.
Parents can book sessions on an ad hoc basis by ticking the ad-hoc box in the booking system. Once selected, parents can then choose their desired date or dates from the calendar.
Simply select the days required and add them to the booking basket. This allows parents to choose individual days that fit their schedule.

Parents can book sessions on a weekly or long term basis by using the calendar, instead of the ad-hoc option. This will allow a date range to be selected.

After selecting the dates, they will appear in the basket section of the booking system. Parents should then press next to continue.

This will take parents to the view and confirm booking page, where they can review their selected sessions before proceeding to payment.

Our activity camps also offer flexible timings. Parents can choose between our regular day or our extended day option. Therefore, parents can select the days that suit their schedule.
In addition, Boom Sports offers a 10% sibling discount when multiple children attend. Families can also receive a 10% full-week discount when booking a complete week of camps or wraparound care.
Step 7: Confirm Your Booking
The final step involves confirming the booking. Parents proceed to checkout to secure their chosen sessions.
Boom Sports accepts several payment methods. Parents can pay by bank transfer, card or through childcare voucher schemes including Tax Free Childcare , Sodexo and the Childcare Grant Payment Service. Read here to learn more about using Tax-Free Childcare with Boom Sports. In addition, we can provide proof of purchase for parents who can claim back payments from Universal Credit.

Once payment is completed, parents will receive a confirmation email. This email confirms the booking and provides important details.
Parents can also amend or cancel bookings through the system. However, cancellation policies depend on the activity booked:
Wraparound care: Changes can be made until midnight the day before the session.
Holiday camps: Cancellations or changes must be made at least 7 days before the camp start date.
This ensures spaces can be offered to other families if plans change.

Tips for Booking with Boom Sports and Magicbooking
Although the system is simple, a few tips can help parents book even faster.
First, parents should create their account before booking opens. This preparation saves time when popular activities become available.
Secondly, parents should ensure their centre is selected correctly. Otherwise, the system may not display the correct activities.
Parents should also check that their child’s age and school year are updated in their account. This ensures correct pricing and accurate booking options.

Finally, parents should book early whenever possible. Holiday camps and wraparound care sessions often fill quickly.
