For parents

Your child's day, on your phone.

Huddles is the app your school uses to log the day — meals, naps, activities, the lot. So at pickup you already know how it went, and "fine, thanks" can turn into a real conversation.

What you'll see, every day.

Teachers log as the day happens. You see it on your phone, whenever you like.

Meals & bottles

What was served, and how it went down.

Naps

When they slept and for how long — so bedtime at home makes sense.

Nappies

For the tinies — every change, logged with a time.

Activities

What they played, made and learned — not just that they "did crafts".

Bumps & notes

If something happens — a scraped knee, medicine given — you see what, when, and what was done.

Attendance

Signed in, safe, accounted for.

Your child. Only your child.

Huddles was built privacy-first, because it holds what matters most.

Free

Huddles costs parents nothing. Your school provides it — you just install the app and sign in.

Get Huddles on your phone.

Huddles installs straight from the browser — there's nothing to search for in an app store, and nothing to update. Two minutes, once.

Why sign in straight away? That first online sign-in sets the app up on your phone. After that, Huddles even opens when the signal is bad — it catches up by itself once you're connected again.

Stuck on a step? Email support@huddles.co.za and we'll help you get set up.

How do I get access?

Your school invites you. They create your parent login and link it to your child — that's part of what keeps children's information safe. If you've received your login details, install the app above and sign in. If not, ask your school office.
