MagicBooking awarded ‘Outstanding Support Service’ by BESA

13th July 2026 · London, UK

MagicBooking, the leading booking and management system for schools, clubs, and childcare providers, has been recognised by the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) Awards as the Outstanding Support Service of 2026.

MagicBooking, used by over 2,000 schools and clubs across the UK to manage wraparound and out-of-school care provision, was praised by the award judges for its measurable impact and clear, user centred approach. The system was also praised for the “clear and impressive financial efficiencies” it brought to schools.

“This is a fantastic win for our team and we’re extremely proud of the work we do day in day out to support our school clients. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible to ensure the parents and school admins who use our system get the most out of it. This award perfectly encapsulates MagicBooking as a system able to deliver support for schools, by maximising cost efficiencies, reducing time spent on admin, and allowing staff to refocus on what matters most: the children they look after.”

Carine Grascher, CEO and co-founder, MagicBooking
