8. Use Advanced booking limits to set how many days in advance parents can book places
   This setting controls the cut-off points when a parent can book their child's sessions
   Examples:
   From 1 day = parent can order/book sessions up to midnight the night before
   From 2 days = parent can order/book sessions up to midnight 2 nights before
   To 0 days = parent can order/book sessions up to any time in the future
   To 7 days = parent can only book sessions for up to 7 days in advance
   Setting a To date of 30 days would allow parents to book up to 30 days ahead, but note that this would be a 'moving' 30 days ahead. 
   If you require a fixed cut-off date, you may wish to use the option described above in b. Set specific Term Dates for Extended Day     
   Cutoff time = the Cutoff time is only available if the from days is set to zero. This means that parents can order on the same day, but the cutoff defines by what time they have to be ordered. For example, if it's 11:00, then parents will not be able to order meals for today after 11:00.
