CBF-3 Child Health and Nutrition Services
In the context of Kinderland Singapore, the Child Health and Nutrition Services (CBF-3) play a crucial role in ensuring the overall well-being of children attending the childcare centers.
5These services are responsible for providing essential care in health monitoring, nutrition, hygiene, and emergency response, which are foundational to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for children.
The objective of this chapter is to assess the impact over time of each sub-critical business function (Sub-CBF) related to CBF-3 Child Health and Nutrition Services. This analysis will identify how disruptions to these functions can affect operations at various time intervals.
By doing so, Kinderland can better understand its vulnerabilities and develop appropriate strategies to minimize the impact on its services during an incident or crisis.
We will examine the highest-impact areas for each Sub-CBF and score the impact over different time intervals ranging from 4 hours to 60 days.
This scoring will help to prioritize recovery efforts and guide the allocation of resources to mitigate risks associated with prolonged disruptions.
The chapter also includes the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD) for each function, which will serve as benchmarks for theorganisation’ss business continuity planning.

Column Explanation (Context for BCM/DR Planning)
• IT Systems and Applications — Critical software used to deliver or support the sub-function.
• RPO (Recovery Point Objective) — Maximum tolerable period in which data might be lost after a disruption (e.g., 1 hr means frequent backups).
• System RTO (Recovery Time Objective) — Target time to restore the system after disruption.
• Supporting Special Equipment or Resources — Hardware or specialized items essential to operate the system/CBF.
• Remarks — Key operational notes or considerations.
The analysis of Impact Over Time for each Sub-CBF in CBF-3 Child Health and Nutrition Services reveals the critical role each function plays in ensuring the well-being of children in Kinderland’s care.
The highest-impact areas—such as health monitoring, medical emergency response, and nutritional planning—are central to maintaining health, safety, and compliance during any operational disruption.
These areas have been identified as having significant consequences on child welfare if not promptly addressed, particularly during the first 24 to 48 hours of a disruption.
As illustrated in the table, certain functions, such as medical emergency response, require immediate action and have a high impact over time.
Functions related to health education, hygiene, and regulatory compliance, while important, exhibit a lower immediate impact but can escalate over time if not maintained.
This chapter underscores the importance of having a robust business continuity plan in place to minimize disruption and safeguard the health and safety of children.
By understanding the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD) for each critical function, Kinderland can prioritize its resources and ensure that the most critical services are restored swiftly in the event of a crisis.
