Childcare Fence Safety!
Childcare centres have a responsibility to provide safe environments where children can learn, play and explore. One of the most important safety considerations for any childcare facility is ensuring outdoor areas, including playgrounds and pool areas, meet current safety requirements.
Timber fencing is a popular choice for childcare centres because it is strong, attractive and blends well with outdoor environments. However, traditional timber fence designs can sometimes create potential climbing opportunities for young children.
Under the National Quality Framework and the Education and Care Services National Regulations, approved providers must ensure children’s health, safety and wellbeing are protected. This includes maintaining safe outdoor spaces and reducing foreseeable risks.
The National Quality Framework (NQF) for early childhood education and care requires perimeter fencing that cannot be climbed over or under. Many existing timber fences have horizontal rails that create easy footholds for children. Climb Stop provides a simple, cost effective way to make these fences non‑climbable offering a safer, compliant alternative to the expense of installing a new fence.
