About

Coat Peg

Read full description

What your child takes home at the end of the day. Their key person posts a photo and a sentence from the room. You get your own child's day in one message at teatime - not a notification every time somebody picks up a camera. Photographs, what they ate, when they slept, the observations against the areas of learning, and the notices from the nursery. All of it stays, so you can scroll back through a term. One message a day, and you can turn that off. The app is a keepsake, not a feed to keep checking.
