So you’re looking for new nursery management software? Good news. You’ve come to the right place.
We could say that we work with over a thousand of early years settings across the globe, and have well over 120,000 parents using our app every day. But none of that really matters to you, and why should it?
Instead, why don’t we talk about how your nursery could benefit from choosing Famly, and why you should book a demo today.
We know that no-one works in childcare for the paperwork. It’s all about providing the very best for the children in your care, and Famly can help you to do just that.
Observations. Learning journeys. Cohort tracking. It’s all built into the same, simple system that you’ll use to manage everything in your nursery, saving you time and hassle from day one.
It’s time to call an end to learning journals that no one sees, observations that take hours to complete, and complicated spreadsheets that give you no real indication of your cohort’s development.
Instead, it’s time to use a more intelligent system, giving you the insights you need to help your children grow and giving you back the time to make sure they’re doing just that.
We have designed Famly alongside nurseries of every size, and one thing that comes up time and time again is fear over Ofsted.
Using Famly you’ve got a head start whenever the call comes.
In the apps section, you can access all historical registers for both children and staff, as well as those all important staff to child ratios across the year. Using our documents section you can easily keep everything you need for the inspector, all in one place.
Our parent messaging and news feed give you evidence of parent partnerships and historical communication logs for complaints, while fully customisable cohort tracking allows you to dive deep into the development of your children.
All this means an end to the endless ring binders and folders. You can focus on preparing your nursery for the more important parts of the inspection instead.
“What stands out for us is Famly’s clean and easy to use interface, the product is intuitive and well designed. Most other software isn’t as comprehensive as Famly.”
Anna Dougherty, Manager and Co-Owner, Fledglings Day Nursery
Sending out invoices each month can be an exhausting, time-consuming process. But when you already have the data on each child’s plan at your fingertips, it doesn’t have to be.
With Famly, invoices are automatically generated from the sessions, purchases, discounts and automatic funding that you’ve applied to each child. Simply head to the batch invoicing section once a month and, with a click, the invoices are sent straight to the parent in-app and via email.
Once the parents have the invoices, they can even make the payment in-app using Famly Pay. They can pay by card or set up a recurring direct debit and, once the payment’s been received, it’ll be automatically reconciled in your account.
And Famly isn’t just about making invoicing easier.
With an occupancy planner to help you identify available sessions, a public funding report to pinpoint funding gaps, and automatic ratios to prevent overstaffing, Famly can help you to maximise the revenue of your setting too.

We know two days are never the same in a nursery. But one thing that always seems to remain constant is the paperwork piling up on your desk.
Don’t worry, we’re on top of it.
As well as saving you from spreadsheet misery with automatic public funding and financial reports you can trust, we also save you the slew of early morning calls that inevitably come hand in hand with flu season. Parents can register sick days or holidays in the app, saving you from spending all morning chasing every missing name on the register.
Quickly register and track incidents with our accident and incident reports, while keeping track of any potential new families with the enquiries and waiting lists feature.
Digital daily diaries can chart everything from naps to nappy changes too, saving those snatched conversations you have at pick up time to discuss what really matters – the kids themselves.
Which should help to give you…
Alongside being your tool for day to day admin, Famly also offers a secure news feed to help you keep parents central to your nursery community.
Famly lets you keep them up to date with messages, photos and videos throughout the day, in real-time. They can also access beautiful learning journeys right on their phone, delivering your observations straight to their pocket, rather than left forgotten in a paper learning journal.
This way, parents have a much better idea of what’s going on at the nursery, meaning you have parents who are much more engaged on a day to day basis. In fact, we’ve found that the vast majority of parents across our nurseries are logging on each and every day.
“At any nursery, your relationship with parents is vital. Famly lets you keep them up to date with messages, photos and videos throughout the day, in real-time.”
Camilla Trefgarne, Nursery Manager, Parson’s Green Nursery
Rotas, attendance, calculating child to staff ratios – it all takes time that you’d much rather be spending supporting and training your staff. What’s more, as you grow it quickly becomes more and more complicated.
Our room-planning app lets you see the required staff for each room, session by session. It’s linked directly to the ratios you’ve set, and so you can plan with the confidence that you’ll have the right staff at the right time.
You can view attendance reports generated from our staff sign-in app, track and view staff qualifications and use document sharing to ensure all staff see important policies and training materials.
“It has saved us so much time as a management team, allowing us to spend more with the children. Everything is all in one place, from invoicing to child development. It makes life very easy for a busy nursery.”
