What is the Activity Planner?

With the Activity Planner, you are able to create a weekly schedule of activities and continuous provision for the children in your setting, with notes and activities to share both internally and with parents.

Amongst other things, the Activity Planner will allow you to:

  • Create a different schedule for each room

  • Copy schedules to other weeks and/or rooms, so you don't have to start over every time

  • Choose which rows you make visible to parents and which ones are only visible to staff


Where do I find the Activity Planner in Famly?

Your Activity Planner can be found by clicking on the Learning section in your sidebar and selecting Activity planner.

πŸ’‘ If you're using a tablet, you can only edit the Activity planner when your tablet is turned landscape. You can't edit the Activity planner on a smartphone, but you can still publish and unpublish plans.


How do I create an Activity Plan?

To create a week plan, go to the Activity Planner and select the room week you're creating the plan for.

Here you can:

  • Add sections to the week based on how you plan for your setting, for example:
    - the time of day
    - the type of activity
    - the area of learning
    - where the activity or provision takes place
    ​When adding a section, you can choose if the section should be visible to parents or if it should only be visible to staff

  • Click on the building brick icon to add activities from the Activity Library

  • It is possible to add notes to the week plan

  • Once you've finished, click Publish week.

    Once a week plan is published, parents with children in the given room can always view it (except for sections marked as β€œinvisible to parents”)
