Nursery World - Online platform connects settings and families during lockdown

A software platform making it possible for early years settings to stay in touch with families during the current nursery closures is being offered free of charge by digital management solutions provider Famly.

The Famly app includes a library of activities shared by early years professionals

Famly Together aims to provide a single, secure platform for practitioners to share activities, photos, videos and updates for parents to access all in one place via a free app or online. Parents have a personalised feed where they can comment on posts or share observations of their child with nursery staff to continue important links during the closure period.

A new live video stream option enables children to see friends that they have not been able to play with since the lockdown. Secure video conferencing, which can host up to 50 participants, also allows practitioners to lead remote sessions with children or check-in on families.
