Tags in Famly allow you to group children or staff across rooms so you can quickly identify, organise, and communicate with specific groups in your setting. They are flexible and can be used in many different ways to suit how your nursery operates.
For example, you might use tags:
To group children with a specific dietary requirement, such as vegan
To group children who attend a specific session, such as breakfast club
To group staff with a particular skill, such as those who are first aid qualified
You can create and use tags in whatever way is most useful for your setting.
