# Finding Your Way Around the App

> What each tab in the Pigeonhole app does, and where to find each part of the parent portal.

The app has four tabs along the bottom of the screen, plus a **+** button in the middle if your nursery uses Home Moments. Everything in the parent portal is reached from one of them.

![The app's Home tab with news posts and a journal entry, the child pictures at the top, and Home, Diary, Share, To do and Me along the bottom](https://mintcdn.com/pigeonholeearlyyearsltd/0iAp9ehr6Gpe17ae/images/app-parent-home.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=0iAp9ehr6Gpe17ae\&q=85\&s=117b9adbd93e4a35ddf6af53496c4cce)

| Tab | What's there |
| - | - |
| **Home** | Everything new, newest first: journal entries, news, moments you've shared and reports. Tap a child's picture at the top to see just them. |
| **Diary** | Your child's day at nursery and the sessions coming up. If your nursery doesn't share its care diary, this tab is called **Calendar**. |
| **Share** (the **+** button) | Share a photo and a few words from home with the nursery. Only shown if your nursery uses [Home Moments](https://pigeonholeapp.co.uk/docs/parents/home-moments.md). |
| **To do** | Anything waiting for you: forms to complete, funding forms, invoices to pay and reports to sign. A number shows how many. |
| **Me** | Your children, your records (invoices, funding forms, forms, reports and documents), settings, help and sign out. |

## A child's page

Open **Me** and tap your child to see their details, the parents and carers the nursery holds, and their collection and emergency contacts. Their diary and documents are linked from here too.
