Your trusted first tier fencing company
Childcare Fencing Experts in Perth Western Australia
At Perth Commercial and Industrial Fencing, we specialise in supplying and installing secure fencing solutions for childcare centres across the northern and western suburbs of Perth.
We offer a wide range of fencing styles tailored specifically to suit childcare environments, ensuring every installation complies with Western Australian safety regulations and standards.
These regulations require that fencing must prevent children from being able to pass through, climb over, or crawl under the fence—safety is our top priority.
To enhance protection, we recommend fitting gates with secure safety locks or spring-loaded latches. We also design our fencing systems to ensure young children cannot scale or bypass them.
Perth Commercial and Industrial Fencing proudly provides professional childcare fencing solutions across all suburbs of Perth.
Benefits of Fencing for Childcare Centres
In addition to protecting young children, a secure perimeter fence around an educational facility—such as a childcare centre—greatly reduces the risk of vandalism. This is just as true for centres throughout Perth as it is elsewhere.
Rather than spending valuable funds on repairing vandalism or property damage, childcare centres can redirect those resources toward initiatives that directly benefit the children.
By investing in a secure and welcoming environment, you not only improve safety but also create a space that supports learning, exploration, and play for young minds.
Western Australia Regulations for Childcare Fencing
When it comes to fencing for childcare centres in Western Australia, strict regulations are in place to ensure the safety and security of young children at all times. At Perth Commercial and Industrial Fencing, we understand the importance of compliance with these standards, and we design all childcare fencing to meet or exceed the relevant guidelines.
Key Requirements for Childcare Fencing in WA:
-
Prevent Access Through, Over or Under: Fences must be constructed so that children cannot climb over, crawl under, or pass through any part of the fence. This includes using solid, vertical structures with no footholds.
-
Minimum Height Requirements: Fencing around childcare centres must typically be a minimum of 1.5 metres in height to effectively prevent climbing or scaling by small children.
-
Durable and Safe Materials: All fencing must be made from durable, child-safe materials. It should not have sharp edges or gaps that could pose a risk to children.
-
Secure Gate Access: Gates must be fitted with child-proof locking mechanisms such as self-closing hinges and spring-loaded or key-lockable latches. These help prevent unauthorised access and ensure children remain safe inside the premises.
-
Clear Visibility: Where appropriate, fencing should allow visibility for supervision while still maintaining a secure perimeter.
Compliance and Licensing
Fencing for childcare centres must align with National Quality Standard (NQS) requirements and the Education and Care Services National Regulations (ECSNR). The Department of Communities (Education and Care Regulatory Unit – Western Australia) oversees these standards and may inspect centres for compliance
