Famly is one of the best-regarded all-in-one early-years platforms in the UK and Europe — observations, invoicing, attendance, staffing and a parent app in one product, priced per setting. Oyku doesn't try to be that. It is the family-facing moment layer: manager-approved photos and videos per child, teacher recognition, consented social content and a printed yearly book. Settings either run it beside a management platform or use it as a lighter, far cheaper way to make parent partnership visible every day.
No invoices, rotas or registers between a parent and their child's morning. A photo, tagged to one child, approved by the manager, arriving at 10:40.
Practitioners capture in ten seconds without text. Observations stay in your journal if you keep one; the joy goes to parents immediately.
Per-child flags shield opted-out children from other families' feeds and all public content — automatically.
Approved, consented moments become a library for Instagram, Facebook and Google Business.
Under £8 per child per month; most settings land nearer £4–5. Free pilot room, no contract.

A 20-minute call. A free pilot classroom. No card, no contract.
Yes. Famly continues to run observations, invoicing and attendance; Oyku becomes the daily photo and video feed families open on the bus home. Some smaller settings use Oyku on its own with a simpler admin system.
Oyku is designed around UK GDPR: per-child consent, manager approval on every post, encryption in transit and at rest, setting-controlled retention and a data-processing agreement.
Yes — timestamped, activity-tagged moments export into parent-partnership evidence and per-child summaries in one click.
Parent partnership ideas for nurseries and early years settings in the UK — EYFS-aware, Ofsted-friendly, and light on practitioner time. From daily moments to home-learning links.
What UK and EU GDPR actually require when a nursery or Kita shares photos of children with parents or publicly — lawful basis, consent, DPAs, retention, DPIAs and the questions to ask any app vendor.
Learning journals (Tapestry, Famly, Kinderly) document development. A daily photo feed builds parent trust. They do different jobs — here's how settings decide whether to run one, the other, or both.
You bring the questions; we bring a live account with real classroom moments. If Oyku isn't right for you, we'll say so on the call.
