Make a termly choices form for optional extras that parents can complete in two minutes
The problem
Optional extras only work if parents have really chosen them, and choices change. A short termly form that lists each extra with its price and a clear "no thanks" box shows what each family agreed. AI can turn your own price list into a clear, friendly form. The DfE model agreement and your local authority's own forms stay the starting point.
What AI does
AI turns your list of optional extras and prices into a short, clear termly form with a yes and a no-thanks box for each. Nothing in it pushes parents towards yes.
Time
The steps, in short
- Read the official DfE model agreement and the declaration your local authority uses.
- List each optional extra with the same price your fees page shows.
- Have AI draft the one-page form.
- Check it is clear and neutral, then send it each term and keep the replies.
A short sample prompt
I manage a nursery in England. Create a short form for each term covering these optional extras: [extras and prices]. Give each a yes box and a no-thanks box, and add no options or prices. Keep the wording neutral.
