FamlyAt Busy Kids we us on online management platform called Famly.
This allows us to manage the setting more easily and allows parents and carers to be more involved in their children’s day.
Famly allows the nursery to keep in close contact with parents, and vice versa. There is no cost to parents for this and it gives you the opportunity to communicate with the nursery at any time.
