Field guide
Six sections keep care and pickup details easy to find.

Collect current guardian information plus a second reachable adult. Separate fields keep phone numbers easy to scan.

Ask for preferred name and birth date, then add your ministry's room or age band.
Allergies & food
Follow a required allergy question with details when needed. Keep snack preferences separate.
Care routine
Ask for comfort cues and practical information caregivers can use during the session.
Attendance plan
Use service dropdowns for clean rosters, with times when care follows a custom schedule.
Authorized pickup
Keep pickup authorization separate from emergency contacts, and make every adult identifiable.

Open toolFAQ
Practical answers for nursery coordinators creating a clearer intake and pickup process.
Include guardian contacts, child name and birth date, service, allergies, care routines, emergency contacts, and authorized pickup adults. Add check-in instructions to the confirmation screen.
Use a required yes-or-no question, then show details when needed. Ask what to avoid, keep food preferences separate, and provide a contact for updates.
Yes. Collect household and guardian details once, then create a separate child section for each sibling. Each child still needs individual birth-date, allergy, care-routine, room, and attendance answers; sharing those answers across siblings can hide important differences.
Ask for each person's full name, relationship to the child, and phone number. Keep pickup authorization separate from emergency contacts because those lists may differ. Also tell parents how to update the list before a different adult arrives.
Yes. Add dropdowns for the services, programs, age groups, or rooms your church actually offers. Conditional questions can show arrival and departure times for midweek care while keeping a standard Sunday registration shorter.
Submissions reach the Makeform inbox and can route by email or workflows. A shared sheet helps coordinators sort by service, room, or review need.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting form responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock additional response capacity.
Set a schedule that fits your ministry and give parents a simple update route whenever a contact, allergy, care note, service choice, or authorized pickup person changes. Showing the last submitted date helps coordinators identify records they may want a family to review.
Prepare the nursery before families arrive.
