Famly - Our nursery app
βIn Autumn 2019 with the amazing support and fundraising from our wonderful parents we began using the Famly Childcare App, helping us to move towards becoming a paper free nursery.
Famly is an online learning journey for your child which will be activated during your child’s settling process. Your child will receive their own profile allowing staff and parents to instantly upload observations and receive updates and messages throughout the day via the app on your phone, tablet or computer.
The Famly App offers parents the following services:
β
-
A live activity feed showing activities, photos, observations, food, nappies, sleeps and more
-
Child sign in/out with pick up notifications
-
Photo gallery and observations
-
Direct instant messaging
-
Parental permissions
-
Holiday and sick days instantly logged by parents
-
Invoice reminders
-
Event invitations
-
Newsletters
Famly has been a wonderful tool in helping us to develop working in partnership with parents

Child's Profile
Here, you can view your child’s activity feed, record sickness, absences, or holiday days, and request additional care when needed.
By clicking on ‘More’, you’ll find even more helpful information, including your child’s Bookings, Learning Journey (where you can also add your own observations), Notes, Safeguarding Disclosures, Photos, details about Leave, and general Setting information.
Everything you need is in one place keeping you connected and informed about your child’s time at Wise Owls

Newfeed
When you log in, you’ll arrive on your Newsfeed — your main hub for everything happening at Wise Owls.
Here, you can like, comment on, and tag photos of your child, and stay up to date with all the latest news, updates, and special moments from nursery.
Tap ‘My News’ to view your saved bookmarks, and whenever you’d like to return to your main feed, simply tap the home icon at the bottom of your screen.

Direct Messaging
Here, you can send and receive messages and view any archived conversations. Our team checks messages frequently throughout the day, so you can easily get in touch if you have a question or need to share information.
Please remember that the children always come first. During busy times, our staff’s full attention is on caring for and engaging with your little ones, and they’ll reply as soon as they can.

Notifications
All your notifications are stored under the bell icon in your menu bar. Any new or unread updates will appear with a red number, so you’ll never miss anything important.
Here, you’ll receive alerts for things like permissions that need your response, accident or incident forms to acknowledge, new invoices, and other important updates from the setting.
It’s the quickest way to stay informed and ensure you don’t miss any key information from the Wise Owls team.
For anything related to your child’s day or updates for key workers, please message us through Famly.
