Famly app
Famly app
The nursery uses an app called Famly to log what the children do during the day. Parents have their own log in credentials and have access to a variety of information about their child's day at nursery such as sleep, food, bottles, nappies and observations that the staff complete.
When children are registered at the setting parents will be sent an email to sign up to the Famly app.
The settings policies and procedure's are available on the app too.
