The Attendance Report in Famly keeps track of all the important details about children's attendance in your setting. This includes when they sign in and out, holidays, sick days, and absences. You can view information for the entire setting, a specific room, or an individual child, and you can also check attendance from previous dates. To access this report, log in to Famly, click the Attendance icon, and select Child attendance.
Viewing Expected and Actual Attendance
Once you're in Child attendance, you can browse attendance for any day or week. Use the arrows in the top left corner to change the date. You’ll see a weekly overview for each room, and at the bottom, a summary for the entire setting.
💡 For a more detailed view, rotate your tablet or smartphone to landscape mode. If you're using Famly on a desktop computer, you will see the expanded version automatically
Clicking on a room name will drop down a list of the children in that room, showing each child’s attendance details.
Here you can see:
When a child signed in and out on a particular day
Holidays, marked with a sunshine icon
Sick days, marked with a thermometer icon
Absences, shown with a black calendar icon
Failed sign-outs, indicated by a warning icon
Outstanding holiday RSVPs, marked with a question mark
Total hours signed in, with unexpected hours highlighted in red with a plus sign
For example, if a child is booked from 10:00 to 18:00 but signs in from 8:00 to 16:00, the report will show 2:00 hours of unexpected attendance in red.
Handling Missing Children
If a child doesn’t appear in the attendance report, first check that they are booked to attend by confirming this in their Booking plan on their profile. Even if they have booked sessions, they won’t appear if their Attendance schedule is empty or incorrect for that day.
Editing Child Attendance
You can edit attendance directly in the report. Click on a child’s name on the relevant day to:
Edit sign-in or sign-out times using the pencil icon
Remove information with the trash can icon
Mark a day as a holiday or sick day
