How do I plan childcare during school holidays?
Add who’s at home on which day as early as possible so you can spot any gaps. Famsy’s household section and calendar make it easy to split responsibilities between parents during a holiday week.
Holidays and summer activities
Half-terms, summer holidays and days off to fill – here’s how to plan your family holidays completely stress-free.
How do I keep track of all our summer holiday activities?
Add holiday clubs, camps and other activities to the calendar as soon as dates are confirmed. In Famsy, you can snap a photo of the invitation or info sheet, and the AI will add the correct dates to the family calendar.
What if I forget the packing list for camp?
Add the packing list straight away when you schedule the camp so it’s ready when departure day approaches. In Famsy, the AI automatically picks up what needs to be brought along when you take a picture or paste in the camp information.
How can parents coordinate time off so someone is always at home with the kids?
Add each parent’s annual leave to the shared calendar to see where you have cover and where there are gaps. Famsy shows the whole family’s schedule in one place, making it much easier to plan your holidays together.
Can I get an overview of the entire summer holiday?
Yes, a single shared calendar shows the whole holiday period with all scheduled activities. Famsy’s weekly summary, sent every Sunday, helps you stay on top of things during holiday weeks, not just term time.
How do I organise lifts to holiday clubs or summer camps?
Add drop-offs and pick-ups as separate events and assign who’s driving. Famsy’s lift planner — complete with driver, passengers and times — works brilliantly for one-off trips like camps, as well as the daily school run.
What if I want to share our summer plans with grandparents?
Invite them to your family account so they can see relevant parts of the schedule. Famsy allows up to ten members per family account, making it easy to include extra adults in your summer planning.
How do I remember booking deadlines for summer activities?
Add registration deadlines as separate tasks with reminders. Famsy’s household section makes it simple to set reminders for dates that are easy to miss, like final sign-up days.
How do I manage different holiday activities for multiple children in the same week?
Add each child’s activities separately to the same family calendar so you can see everything in one place, neatly sorted by child. Famsy displays everyone’s schedule in a shared view, taking the hassle out of busy holiday weeks.
What if a camp schedule arrives as a long email?
Simply paste the email into Famsy to extract key information without having to read through it all manually. The AI reads the email and adds dates, times and packing items directly to your family calendar.
How do I keep track of plans on a midweek day off?
A daily summary gives you a quick snapshot of what’s happening that day, even on a day off. Famsy’s morning brief is sent every day and shows scheduled events, whether it’s term time or a holiday.
Can I ask the AI what’s planned for the holidays?
Yes, you can just ask directly instead of scrolling through the calendar. In Famsy, you can ask the AI things like “What’s happening tomorrow?” and get instant answers based on your holiday schedule.
How do I plan shopping for a family summer trip?
Add everything you need to buy to your shopping list well ahead of time. Famsy’s household section features a shared shopping list where all adults in the family can add items and tick off what’s needed for the trip.
