Queensferry Nursery in Edinburgh have been using the School App for Parents for around a month now and have already found the app to be a great addition for them.
Since joining Connectus in December, Queensferry Nursery have been provided A5 flyers to hand out to parents, an outdoor banner as well as training on the administration system. All of this has enabled them to launch their app to their parents and community and make use of its fantastic features in under a month.
