Kidscape childcare centre Albury shut down over safety failures
The NSW Early Learning Commission closed Kidscape Early Learning Centre Albury for six months from September 23 due to safety failures.
Kidscape Early Learning Centre in Albury was closed at once by the NSW Early Learning Commission. The closure followed major safety concerns.
The commission found multiple failures, including not enough supervision of children. Indoor and outdoor spaces were unsafe.
Staff did not know the rules about child protection. Staff training was not good enough.
Working toilets were not easy to get to. The closure comes after two years of compliance visits and enforcement steps.
Commissioner Darryl Currie said safety comes first. The service takes children aged 0 to 5.
Families must find other childcare immediately. Further compliance action could follow the six-month suspension.
