Coat Peg or Famly: which suits your nursery?
Which is better, Coat Peg or Famly?
For a nursery that wants the day in the room and its records done well at one price, Coat Peg. £49 a month includes accident reports, medicine records with consent given on the parent's own phone, sleep checks and invoicing; on Famly, accident and medication forms start on its £159 a month plan, plus VAT. Staff post from one shared device, and families get one calm notification a day. Coat Peg is focused by design, so it has no in-app payments, staff rotas or two-way messaging.

What Coat Peg does differently
One device in the room, everyone’s posts
Staff tap their name, enter a PIN and post. The next person takes over in a tap, and every post keeps the name of whoever wrote it, even one sent later because the wifi was down.
Families hear once a day
One notification at teatime with the whole day in it. The only same-day notices are the two the EYFS requires: an accident report and a medicine dose.
The records are kept as staff go
The register, accident reports, medicine doses and sleep checks are on the same device as the camera, with a countdown to each under-two’s next sleep check.
One price, nothing on a higher plan
Every feature, both apps, any number of children, rooms and staff, for £49 a month. Cancel any month.
