Parents and families

Your child's day, in one place your nursery controls

If your nursery uses Nurtalo, you get a family portal for daily care, learning moments, menus, absence, bookings, permissions, documents, invoices and messages — sign in with the account your nursery sets up for you.

What families see

Everything about your child, kept together

What appears in your portal is decided by the nursery. Nurtalo never shares a record with a family unless the setting has chosen to share it.

The day

  • Daily care: meals, sleep, nappies and moments from the room
  • Menus for the week ahead
  • Learning observations shared by the key person

Practical things

  • Report an absence without phoning
  • Bookings and calendar events with RSVPs
  • Authorised collection details kept current

Paperwork

  • Permissions and consents you can review and update
  • Documents and digital forms you can complete on a phone
  • Invoices and payment records from the nursery

Getting access

Accounts come from your nursery, not from us

Family access is created deliberately by the setting and linked to your child's record. Nurtalo does not sign families up directly.

If you already have access

Sign in with the email address your nursery holds for you. If you cannot get in, your nursery can check and reissue your access.

If your nursery does not use Nurtalo

There is nothing for you to sign up for. You are welcome to mention Nurtalo to your setting, and they can talk to us directly.

Respect

What Nurtalo will not do with your child

A nursery record is not a social feed and a child is not a metric.

No rankings or scores

No streaks, badges, leaderboards or comparisons between children. Learning records describe a child, they do not rate one.

No casual sharing

Photos with several children respect every family's permissions, and files are only ever served through private, short-lived links.

Are you the nursery, not the parent?
