Everything from the kindergarten, in one place on your phone.
Nothing to download. The kindergarten sends you an invitation by email, you pick your child’s jel, and two minutes later you are in.
A day as a parent
No need to keep an eye on a Messenger group. What matters is here, and you get a notification about it.
-
Your child is ill
Two taps and the kindergarten knows. Bringing a doctor’s note? Tick one box. Still before the deadline? Tick another and lunch is cancelled too.
-
What is on today?
The timetable says it is gym day, so the gym bag goes in.
-
A new letter home
A trip on Friday. It lands in the calendar too, and the home screen shows the next five events.
-
Ski lessons in January
You sign up for extra activities in the app. No paper form to fill in and send back.
-
Grandma is collecting
You note that grandma is collecting today. Only people named in advance can, and the teacher sees her name at pick-up.
-
Photos from the group space
Pictures from the day, if you have given consent. You can download them; they disappear by themselves after 90 days.

Questions
How do I sign up?
You do not sign up yourself. The kindergarten sends an invitation to your email. The link in it asks you to pick your child’s jel and choose a password.
No invitation? Ask the group’s teacher or the head of the kindergarten.
Why do I have to pick my child’s jel?
It checks that the invitation really reached you and not a mistyped address. Only someone who has seen the child’s peg knows the jel.
My two children are in two groups. Do I need two accounts?
No. One login shows both, and one tap switches between them, even if one goes to a kindergarten and the other to a nursery run by the same organisation.
Who sees my child’s photos?
Only the families of the group, and only if you have given consent. You can withdraw it at any time; the photos showing your child are then deleted.
Why are there no notifications on my iPhone?
On an iPhone, notifications only work when OnlineOvi is on the home screen and you open it from there. Help shows you how, step by step.
If you do not want notifications, the important messages also arrive by email.
How is it different from oviKRÉTA?
oviKRÉTA holds the official records. OnlineOvi is for every day: absences, lunch, messages, photos, pick-up. The two sit side by side.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. The kindergarten pays for OnlineOvi; it is free for parents.
Your kindergarten does not use it yet?
Tell us the kindergarten’s name and we will get in touch with the head. Most kindergartens switch because a parent spoke up.
- We contact the head within one working day.
- If you allow it, we say you recommended us. It makes a difference.
- We tell you how it went.
