Backup for KidsKonnect
KidsKonnect does not automatically create a backup of your child records and parent communications. Here is what is genuinely at stake — and how to protect it in under an hour.
((Dutch Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang) — record retention))
What is actually stored in KidsKonnect?
KidsKonnect is the daily operational backbone for many daycare centres and after-school care providers. What most users don't realise: all that data is not automatically protected against loss.
Typical data that lives in KidsKonnect and can be lost:
- child registrations — child personal data, class groups and care history
- care agreements — care contracts, hours and invoicing agreements
- observation reports — developmental observations and milestone reports per child
- parent communications — parent app messages, notifications and announcements
All of this data falls under Dutch Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang) — record retention, which means you must be able to reproduce it for 5–7 years.
Does KidsKonnect automatically create a backup?
KidsKonnect is cloud-based, so your data is safe — right? This is the most common misconception among daycare centres and after-school care providers.
KidsKonnect guarantees that the platform runs, not that your data can be recovered after ransomware or errors.
Ransomware
Encrypts everything — including data synchronised via KidsKonnect. Without an offline backup you have no clean recovery point.
Human error
A deleted record, an overwritten import or a mistaken bulk action — KidsKonnect offers limited or no undo functionality after more than limited.
Loss of observation reports during system migration
Migrations to a new KidsKonnect environment or to a different platform can result in loss of child observation reports if no independent backup is secured.
How Mindtime protects KidsKonnect data
