A digital platform for early educators and families to collaborate, share the workload, and nurture children together
The #1 software - as voted by you
Award-winning software
Whether it’s sharing invoices, photos, payments, observations, or knowledge, Famly brings all the grown-ups in a child’s life together.
Message, update and connect with families in a heartbeat.
Add rotas, absences, set ratios, and communicate instantly.
Batch invoice, collect payments, send files, and manage enquiries.
From your first coffee to the last pick-up, make your entire day stress-free.
Activity plans, staff schedules and expected attendance are all in the app. So you can relax and start your day with a mug of hot coffee.
No register stress, no paper attendance sheets. Sign everyone in in seconds with a sign-in screen, and get an overview of attendance in real-time.
Document, observe and update staff and parents in seconds, so you can spend quality time with the children. That’s far more important than admin.
Check all allergies and intolerances, share meal plans with families, and record meals eaten. All with a few simple clicks.
Not sure who has the afternoon shift? Or who’s replacing Jenny as she has the flu? Check schedules, absences, and calendars - and never second-guess ratios again.
Charge for the sandwich Mia had for lunch, and bill parents with one button while you play aeroplanes with Tommy. Easy, stress-free finances.
Message and send reminders to families throughout the day, check who’s picking who up, and make them part of their child’s day.
Sign children and staff out with one button, and end the day peacefully. No need to worry you’ve forgotten something - it’s all inside Famly.

your opinion is everything
“If another company told us that you can have ten years of software for free, we’d tell them we’re not interested.”
“The whole week at the end of the month used to be set aside for invoicing, now I do it at the click of a button.”
“When I ask how Famly is going, the one thing staff say to me is that ‘you should have done this a long time ago’”
“The invoicing system, it's magical. It's really, really easy to use. It's so easy being able to do everything at the press of a button.“
“It was just so easy to use, I whizzed through it. It was just so straightforward and logical. I’m not particularly technical either, but if I can work it out, anybody can.”
“Parents absolutely love it. We tell every parent who comes to visit about Famly and they think it’s just amazing.”
“You always get an answer. The support is second to none. We had support from our old provider but we didn’t get phone calls or training sessions or feedback… or even answers sometimes!”
“Parents can just see, ‘Yes my child’s happy, they’re fine, they’re playing.’ Famly allows us to do all that without staff thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I have to write an observation!’”
“I can do the invoices in five minutes. With the old Excel system it took hours. I know they’re done, I know they’ve been sent, so I can get back on with something that will be generating more business.”
“Parents don’t have to wait for a consultation three times a year to see what their child is learning at nursery. Parents can log in and see straight away that their child has achieved something.”
“It’s changed our whole company, it really has. Things needed to modernise and Famly’s a massive part of that. Everything’s at the touch of a button.”
“For good reason, parents don’t like having all these different logins. They much prefer having it all in one place. Famly is just so intuitive and so easy to use, and that really helps us get parents on board.”
