Famly

At Abacus we believe that it is so important to capture special moments and to work in partnership with families, we use Famly software to achieve this. Famly enables us to create observations immediately, add notes and images which authorised people can access immediately. Families can then comment and add their own stories to the Online Learning Journal.

Famly is a safe and secure online learning journey. Each room has their own tablet/recording device which they use to capture the children playing, exploring and interacting with peers. Abacus staff capture these moments and link them to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and Characteristics of Effective Learning. Once authorised parents, carers and family members who have been set up with famly can view the images through their downloadable app.

Famly is the fresh way to observe, assess and follow each child’s progress, giving parents the opportunity to comment and even add their own images from home.

Famly allows the staff to spend more time playing and challenging the learning of each child.
