Our Safety Commitment
Prioritising Your Child’s Safety, Every Day, in Every Way
At Kids Academy Early Learning, your child’s safety is our highest priority. We go beyond standard compliance to create secure, nurturing environments where children can learn, grow and thrive. When you choose us, you’re choosing peace of mind, knowing your child is safe, supported and well cared for.
Child Safety is Everyone's Responsibility
Our #SafetyStartsWithMe initiative empowers every team member to take personal responsibility for maintaining safe environments. We believe safety is a shared commitment, and that everyone plays a part in preventing risks before they happen.
Our Key Focus Areas in Safety
All educators are trained in child protection and understand their responsibilities under mandatory reporting laws. Any concerns are escalated immediately, with clear procedures and support from our leadership team.
Our learning environments are regularly audited for potential risks. From classroom layouts to outdoor play spaces, we ensure your child can explore safely at every stage of their development.
We practise active supervision, meaning our educators are always alert, engaged, and positioned to maintain visibility of every child. Our team lives by a simple philosophy: See Something, Say Something.
Only authorised individuals can enter our centres. Families access the building via a secure gate and door code system, and sign children in and out using iPads at reception, ensuring accountability and security.
We meet all required educator-to-child ratios required by law. Our educators are carefully positioned indoors and outdoors to maintain active supervision and responsive care at all times.
Our centres undergo internal audits every month, far more frequently than the industry standard. These visits by our national support teams help us stay proactive, accountable, and aligned with best practices.
Outdoor play is essential, but so is sun safety. We schedule outdoor activities at safe times of day, require SPF 50+ sunscreen and hats, and reapply sunscreen throughout the day.
Through regular emergency drills, our educators and children are well-prepared for unexpected situations. We use Safety Bear to help children learn emergency procedures in a calm, age-appropriate way.
Every baby has a designated sleep space in our nursery rooms, and educators complete 5-10-minute sleep checks to ensure safety and comfort. Our practices align with national safe sleep guidelines.
We take allergy management seriously. Children with dietary requirements have placemats and Food ID cards for clear identification. Our cooks follow strict food safety protocols and prepare nutritious meals daily.
We work closely with families to manage medical conditions. Each plan includes medical management, risk minimisation, and communication strategies, so your child gets the support they need, every day.
Cleanliness is essential to your child’s health. Our teams follow strict hygiene routines, including frequent handwashing, sanitising toys and surfaces, and illness-prevention measures to reduce the spread of germs.
A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
At Kids Academy, safety isn’t just a checklist, it’s the foundation of every interaction, every environment, and every day. When your child feels safe, they feel free to explore, connect, and grow into their full potential.
