Famly App

What is the Famly App?

Our nurseries use an app called Famly which can be accessed on mobiles or online. We use this to stay in touch and to keep you updated on your child’s development whist at our settings.

You will have your own individual account which allows your personal feed to receive photographs, videos, messages and updates in real time. Parents can grant access to other family member like grandparents, to view their child’s learning journey on the app.

Each child will have an individual Learning Journey here and we will share observations of your child’s learning and development and link it to the Early Years Foundation Stage. This will help you understand the progress your child is making.

The app is a fully encrypted GDPR – compliant and digital platform therefore all data stored on the app is protected and secure.

Healthy Eating

We take great pride in how we underpin healthy eating and lifestyles within our nursery. All our meals are freshly prepared on site using local fresh produce by our cook.

We have taken part in ‘Food for Life Early Years Award’.

The Soil Association’s Food for Life Early Years Award is an independent endorsement for nurseries and children’s centres that serve good quality, nutritious food and support the babies and children in their care to develop good eating habits for life. Evidence shows that eating habits form early, and good nutrition plays a crucial role in a child’s growth and cognitive development.

Our healthy menus are planned following guidance from The Food for Life Award.
