Export one child’s records as a PDF, ZIP or JSON file with only the categories you choose, then download it from Export History.
Childminders on the Standard plan who need to hand over a child's records, for example when a parent asks for their data or a child leaves. It takes about two minutes, plus the time the export takes to build.
Export Profile builds a file of one child's records. You choose the format and what's included, and download it from Export History when it's ready.
Open the Children tab and tap the child.
Tap the menu at the top of the profile and choose Export Profile.
Under Export Format, choose:
PDF and JSON list photos and documents but don't include the files. Choose ZIP if the parent wants those.
Every category starts switched on. Turn off any you don't need:
Tap Start Export. KinderStart builds the file in the background and sends you a notification when it's ready.
Open Tools, then Business Settings, Storage & Data and Export History. Each export shows the child, the format, when it was requested and when it expires. While it's building, you'll see Export is being generated. This may take a few minutes. When it's ready, tap Download.
When
Compliance (Incidents, etc.)is switched on, the export includes sensitive incident and accident reports. Store it securely, share it only with people who should see it, and don't email it unencrypted.
Choosing the categories means you share only what was asked for. Building the file in the background means you can carry on with your day while a large export is prepared.
