The operational platform for children's activity businesses. Everything your booking system doesn't do.
Built by someone who actually runs a children's activity business.
The bit nobody trained you for
Staff files, risk assessments, venues, term dates, the paperwork that has to be right when someone asks. That is the part that keeps you up at night.
Staff compliance and DBS you have to keep on top of
Risk assessments living in five different places
Venues, terms and holidays to keep straight
Proof you can pull up the moment it is asked for
aluma covers the running of the business, not the bookings. Here is where it starts.
Staff records, documents and compliance you can see at a glance, colour coded so nothing slips.
Risk assessments, policies, venue safety and equipment, logged and timestamped, with an inspection view you can share in one tap.
Terms, holidays and venues in one clear view, so your planning matches how the business really runs.
This is the People & Compliance view. Everything in date at a glance, anything that needs you flagged early.

This is what “nothing slips” looks like. In date is mint. Anything that needs you soon turns coral, early and calm.
Everything included
No feature tiers, no per-user fees. Every staff member, every tool, all included from day one.
These messages fire automatically. No chasing, no reminders to send reminders. You switch them on, write them in your voice, and aluma handles the rest.
Why this matters
You work with children. The people who trust you with them need to know your operation is watertight. So do the people who inspect it.
When an inspector asks to see your safeguarding paperwork, you need it now. Not next week, not in a folder at home. Now.
Every person working with children needs a current DBS check. An expired one is not a minor admin slip. It is a safeguarding gap.
Insurers expect you to evidence your compliance. Lapsed first aid, missing risk assessments, gaps in staff records. Any of these can void your cover.
Parents choose you because they trust you. That trust is built on knowing your team is checked, trained and current. Every single day.
The idea behind it
So you can prove you run a safe, professional operation. To parents, to inspectors, to the partners who need to trust you.
On your side
Running a business like this is a lot to hold. aluma is built to feel like a supportive colleague, not another thing nagging at you.
When everything is in date, it says so. "All your checks are current. Nice work."
Things that need you are flagged kindly and early. Calm and steady, never scary.
Birthdays, milestones and shout-outs, so the people who make it work feel it.
Built by a practitioner
aluma was built out of twenty years of doing this work, learning the hard way where the real pain sits. Every part of it earns its place because it solves something real, not something imagined in a boardroom.
Safeguarding and compliance are handled with quiet confidence. Sensitive records stay protected and stay yours, never handed off where they should not be. Clear and steady, the way this work deserves.
Early users are helping build aluma. Their words will live here soon.
“The compliance side used to live in my head and three spreadsheets. Now it is in one place and I can actually sleep.”

Pricing
Every plan gives you the whole platform. The only thing that changes is the price, and that is based on how many staff you have.
Founding member
A solo teacher or a small team, getting fully compliant.
1 to 5 staff
£39/mo standard
£29/moEverything in aluma. All 60+ features, from day one.
Choose SoloFounding member

6 to 15 staff
£59/mo standard
£49/moEverything in aluma. All 60+ features, from day one.
Choose GrowingFounding member
A bigger team, and a lot of compliance riding on one person.
16 to 30 staff
£109/mo standard
£89/moEverything in aluma. All 60+ features, from day one.
Choose EstablishedNothing is locked behind a higher plan. Safeguarding is not a premium feature. A solo teacher gets exactly the same platform as a thirty-staff school. You pay for scale, not for keeping children safe.
All prices exclude VAT.
We count active staff records. People who have left do not count.
If you grow past your plan, we move you at your next renewal, never mid-month, and we tell you first.
Change or cancel whenever you need to.
We're building co-branded aluma for groups, with network-wide compliance oversight. One standard, every site.
Get in early, help shape it, and lock in founding pricing before it opens fully. We would love to have you.
