Frequently Asked Questions

Do you understand childcare software like Xplor, Kindyhub, and Storypark?: Yes. We support the IT infrastructure that childcare management software runs on — the network, devices, and internet connection that Xplor, Kindyhub, Storypark, HiMama, and Kidsoft depend on. We ensure your systems are properly configured so these platforms run without dropouts, and we work alongside your software vendors when issues escalate beyond infrastructure.
What happens if our CCS portal connection drops?: CCS portal access depends on a reliable internet connection. All our managed plans include a business-grade internet connection monitored 24/7, and we can add seamless 4G/5G failover so if your primary connection drops, the CCS portal stays accessible within about one second. We also proactively monitor the connection before your centre opens so issues are caught early rather than discovered at drop-off time.
Can you manage our check-in iPad kiosks?: Yes. We manage iPad and tablet fleets through mobile device management (MDM) software. This means kiosks are locked to the check-in app, can be remotely updated, and are monitored for issues. If a kiosk stops working, we can often resolve it remotely before families arrive. We also manage spare device provisioning so there is always a backup available.
How do you protect children's personal information?: We implement multiple layers of protection: endpoint security on all devices, encrypted storage for records, email security against phishing, access controls so staff only see the data they need, and automated off-site backups tested for recovery. We understand that children's personal data carries heightened obligations under the Australian Privacy Act and we configure infrastructure accordingly.
We have high staff turnover with casual educators — can you manage that?: Absolutely. Fast account provisioning and deprovisioning is one of the most common requirements for childcare centres. We can set up new casual educators with the correct access level same day, and deprovision accounts immediately when someone leaves so former staff no longer have access to children's records or systems. We can also integrate with your rostering system to simplify the process.
Do you cover outdoor WiFi for our play areas?: Yes. Outdoor WiFi coverage for check-in kiosks, tablet-based learning, and parent apps is something we specifically plan for in childcare centres. We use weather-rated access points for outdoor areas and ensure coverage reaches every zone your educators work in — not just the admin office and indoor rooms.
Can you set up CCTV cameras for our centre?: Yes. We supply and install CCTV systems for childcare centres, covering indoor learning areas, outdoor play spaces, entry and exit points, and car park areas. Remote viewing is available for directors and approved staff. We configure the system to meet your centre's child safety policies and can integrate it with your existing network infrastructure.
How much does IT support for a childcare centre cost?: Our managed IT pricing for childcare centres follows our single transparent Australia-wide rate card: Essential Helpdesk $130 per user per month ex GST, Managed IT (most popular) $175 per user per month ex GST, and Managed IT Premium $285 per user per month ex GST. Netluma Business Shield $89/device/month (included as standard). Most childcare centres with 5–20 staff sit on the Managed IT plan.
