Child safety

The safety work happens before you ever notice it.

Every educator's home meets the same standards a licensed centre does — we just make sure you never have to ask about it.

Every educator

Working with Children checks

Every adult in the home holds a current Blue Card, tracked and renewed before it ever lapses — including regular visitors.

Every 3 months

Fire & lockdown drills

Educators rehearse both evacuation and lockdown procedures each term, with every drill recorded and reflected on.

Every sleep, every day

Safe sleep practices

Cots, bedding and supervision follow Red Nose safe-sleeping guidelines, with physical checks every ten minutes.

Daily

Morning & evening safety checks

Smoke alarms, exits, first aid kits and pool fencing are checked before the first child arrives and after the last leaves.

Always current

First Aid & CPR trained

Every educator holds current First Aid, CPR and anaphylaxis training, renewed automatically before expiry.

Within 24 hours

Transparent incident records

If anything happens, however minor, it's documented and shared with you the same way the National Quality Framework requires.

Our child safe statement

Every child has the right to be safe, heard and respected.

Amana Kids Family Day Care is committed to the safety, wellbeing and rights of every child in our care. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and harm of any kind, and we take every concern seriously.

We currently meet all ten Queensland Child Safe Standards and the Universal Principle under the Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 (Qld), and our goal is to exceed them. In practice, this means we:

make child safety part of how our service is led, managed and checked;
listen to children, take their views seriously and involve them in decisions that affect them;
work openly with families and communities, and keep them informed;
value diversity and provide culturally safe care, including for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with disability;
carefully screen, train and supervise educators, assistants and every adult in educators’ homes;
respond quickly and fairly to complaints and concerns, and report to authorities as the law requires;
keep homes and online environments safe, and regularly review and improve our practices.

Standards we follow

Grounded in the National Quality Framework.

Our safety practices are built on the Education and Care Services National Regulations, ACECQA guidance, and Red Nose's safe sleep recommendations — not just internal policy.
