When the Care inspectorate visited, they said it was the best system that they had come across. I could retrieve all the data they requested. I literally couldn’t live without it. 

Couldn’t live without it

Hi Catherine, thanks for your great review! We loved hearing what a difference Famly has made at Wise Owls. I've passed on your comments about logging in and out and changing arrival time. We're actually working on staff rotas right now so keep an eye out in the near future! - Marcus

After using other software in the past and abandoning it for various reasons,  FAMLY has proved to be an excellent product.  It caters for everything we need and the team are always open to suggestions on further improving what is already very useful. The team are on hand to help and support with whatever we need to ensure the smooth running of our provision. 

Excellent product 

Hi Emma, thanks for letting us know how well Famly's going in your nursery. It's brilliant to hear how we've been able to improve communication and address your business needs. - Marcus :) 

Overall this is a great tool for saving time for nursery managers and teams and is loved by all our parents and staff

Saves time, improves parent communication, streamlines processes

Hi Catherine, thanks for leaving us your feedback! Really good to hear how Famly has helped at Priesthills. I'm pleased to hear that you've found the customer support effective too, we're always working to improve! - Marcus

I am so looking forward their new image and amplified mission they mention. Please, it would be magical if siri could work with the app so that we could just sing children out through our voice... "Hey Siri, sign Barney out", it is all about using our time in valuable things like cuddling our children at school isn't it?

The best educational platform so far

Hi Anilu, thanks for leaving a review! Fantastic to hear what a difference Famly has made in your classroom. I've also passed on your feedback to our team - Marcus 

Nothing we dislike. The more we use Famly, we are able to see how additional functions could help us and will relay these to the support team.

Famly is a key communication tool for our business

We used to use ProCare but found it to be incredibly clunky.  We the switched to Sandbox software for a year but found they were not innovating very fast.  We finally found FAMLY and haven't looked back since.

Owner

The best thing about the product is loading families and keeping records overall I have enjoyed this product, I love the ability to track payments, shot records etc.

Owner/Director

Great for tracking staff hours for payroll, great for check in and check out of children and ability to access information regarding attendance.

Office Clerk

Software has been very easy to use, and is user friendly. The two times I had to contact customer service, they were wonderful.

Their ability to not only explain but to make videos on the particular issue you need help with is beyond helpful. That is the primary reason we are still with the Jackrabbit.

Director

I'm not sure what their uptime is, but maybe once or twice a year, there will be a server outage. This can be inconvenient as we use the software to run the entire music school.

I like the reliability of the product and how supportive the team is.

Administrative Assistant

There are so many options to customize, that it can be difficult to find the data you want. E.g. one drop down menu has the wrong option selected, so you get no results.).

The product is easy to use and their customer service staff and training staff have been awesome.

Infant Preschool teacher

This product meets the needs of our company. It is user friendly and the customer service is great.

Office Manager 

Jackrabbit was an easy choice when switching to a new database. The easy of use and integration is great.

Early Education Director

The customer service is helpful and responds to requests promptly. I enjoy Jack Rabbit's home page and how it tracks revenue, aging accounts, and family enrollment.

It is very comprehensive with lots of options for customization. It is easy to get up and running with some features, and then add in more as you go.

I really can't think of anything that I would complain about.

Owner 

Online integration, customer account access, customer tracking and billing. It's nice to have things automated so I can perform batch operations quickly and easily.

owner

I like how user-friendly the product is and the customer service.

Easier to track data... but there's a learning curve in figuring out the exact search parameters to access that data. But customer service is amazing - they are easy to reach and quick to help.

The fact onl y one user can use the service at a time is frustrating.

It is a fairly easy system to use that is reasonably priced.

Famly

early years manager

Famly have always been fantastic, the software is great, customer service are always able to help and really quickly.

Nursery Director

The app is so easy to use and such a great tool to share information with parents. Beautiful learning journeys for our children including videos that they will look back on.

Administrator

Overall we have had a great experience the past year, we hope for a long and positive relationship.

First Aid Trainer

I like the ability to message nursery staff directly from the app, but also the ability to message other parents - this gives it more of a community feel.

Deputy Manager

Staff can reply straight away. Great way to keep general communication with parents and staff and for good team communication too.

Practice Manager

This is especially important in the present pandemic as parents are not allowed in to the buildings. The newsfeed feature is great.

Overall a very good app and i would certainly recommend it for any school or nursery.

warehouse office manager 

Only thing is that the push notification for an accident does not tell you what child it is about.

Coordinator

Sometimes staff in the sleep room change and it can be hard calculating 7 different wake up times from the time each child has been marked to have fallen asleep.

Nursery assistant 

I would love medicine forms to be on here and temperature checks. Very easy to use and do observations.

Manager / Director

Famly has been one of the best things we have purchased for the nursery. We have been able to communicate immediately when needed with all of our families throughout lockdown (and before).

Nursery manager 

We like the easy sign in options, quick and easy method to log meals, nappies and sleeps and the news feed is a quick efficient way of communicating to parents.

Admin Manager

The ease of use, we also pay for the staff attendance so feel we use Famly fully, making it worth the money.

Manager

If a child hasn't started but register and you make a mistake on the room moves this can be hard to amend without seeking help. Can this be made the same as children who are registered.

Office manager and teacher 

Easy to use, money saving, paper saving. Has really helped our business.

How long it takes for Famly to implement a new tool. Pulling off children's journeys when they leave.
