Why PlayHub
A discovery channel, not another system
Parents plan their weeks and holidays in one place — and when they choose your activity, they come straight to you.
Found by families ready to book
Your listings appear when local parents search by age, category, date and distance — high-intent planning moments, not passing social-media scrolls.
Your customers stay yours
In the pilot, parents are handed straight to your own booking link or phone number — no commission, no payment processing. Whatever PlayHub adds down the line, any booking or payment tools stay optional, and the relationship is always yours.
See the demand
Views, saves, interest counts and handoff clicks for every listing — know which activities are landing before you spend a penny on marketing.
Live in minutes, free in the pilot
A listing, not a website project: your organisation, venues, activities, schedules and photos, published in one sitting — simple, self-service, no sales calls. Pilot providers list free.
The PlayHub difference
How parent features turn “maybe” into a booking
You already know word of mouth fills places. PlayHub is the first channel that amplifies it deliberately — every feature parents love ends with a more confident booking for you.
- 1
The right families find you
Parents add each child’s age and interests once, so the families who see your listing are the ones it actually fits.
- 2
The school question, answered
Parents see how many children from their child’s school are interested — the answer to “will my child know anyone there?”, right on your listing.
- 3
Confidence snowballs
Every family that shows interest strengthens the count their child’s school mates’ parents see — filling places in friendship groups, not one child at a time.
- 4
Handed to you, ready to book
When a parent decides, PlayHub sends them straight to your own booking link or phone number — you take the booking as you always have.
Built on trust — how the school counts work
- Counts only, never names — no child is ever identifiable, and small counts stay hidden.
- Included by default for every child, with an easy opt-out — parents stay in control.
- Parents only see counts for their own child’s school.
- You see overall interest totals for your listings — never school breakdowns, never which families are behind a number.

They book direct with you
PlayHub hands parents straight to your booking link or phone — no commission in the pilot, and the booking happens with you.
What the pilot costs: nothing
During the pilot your listing is free, PlayHub takes no commission and processes no payments — parents book directly through your own link or phone number. After the pilot there will always be a free listing tier, and any paid tools will be optional extras you choose — never a gate between you and your families. Your customers stay yours, however PlayHub grows.

Provider FAQ
Where is the pilot running?
We’re launching first in Fareham and Gosport. If you’re based elsewhere, register your interest anyway — we’re using it to plan which area we expand into next.
What does it cost?
The pilot is completely free — free listing, no commission, no payment processing. After the pilot there will always be a free listing tier; any paid tools will be optional extras you choose, never a gate between you and your families.
Do you take a commission on bookings?
No — in the pilot, parents book directly with you through your own booking link or phone number. PlayHub takes no commission and never sits between you and your customers.
Can parents book or pay through PlayHub?
Not in the pilot — PlayHub is discovery plus a direct handoff to you, so you take bookings exactly as you do today. Booking and payment tools may come later as optional extras for providers who want them.
Can I see which schools are interested in my activities?
No. School counts are shown to parents, for their own child’s school only. You see overall views, saves, interest and handoff numbers for each listing — never school-level breakdowns, and never who is behind a number.
What do I need to get set up?
Your organisation details, venues, activity details with schedules and photos, and the booking link or phone number parents should use. It’s a self-service listing, not a website project — most providers are live in one sitting.
