Add a Contact for a Child in Your Setting
Before adding a contact for a child, it's a good idea to make sure you've got access to that contact's full name and email address. To add a contact:
Head to a child's profile and click on the Family tab
Click Add contact
Add this contact's Name, Email, and Phone number
Then assign them a role. You can choose:
Don't invite (if you want to add a role later on)
A Parent role
Click Save contact
When you invite parents to Famly, they'll receive a welcome email. The email will look like this:
Dear [Your name],
[Your child's setting] uses the Famly system to keep you and your family updated. You will be able to receive pictures of your child, important notices, information about events, and much more. You will also be able to register if your child has the day off or is ill.
You have been given a parental account for [your child] in [the name of their room], [your child's setting]
To get started you need a Famly account, which we already created for you. You just need to create a password.
If you have trouble clicking the link above, try this link instead:
[your personal link]
We hope you'll have a pleasant experience using Famly. If you have any feedback or questions, you're welcome to contact us [setting's email address]
Best regards
[Your child's setting]
This welcome email is the default email for inviting parents and cannot be edited in your Settings. If you'd like to send parents documents upon inviting them, you can do this through the Newsfeed. Alternatively, if they need to accept Terms and Conditions or a Privacy Policy, for example, you can attach documents to a permission using the Parental permissions feature.
