Jenny's Kindergarten and Early Learning Centre in Gregory Hills, Sydney, is facing potential fines of up to $100,000 following a serious incident where a toddler nearly drowned in a water bucket. The centre was shut down in September 2025 due to multiple safety concerns, prompting the NSW Early Learning Commission to suspend its operation. Court documents revealed that the child became stuck in a 65-litre bucket while trying to retrieve toys, remaining wedged for over a minute before being rescued by an educator. Fortunately, the child was deemed uninjured. The company operating the centre, JK St George Holdings Pty Ltd, has pleaded guilty to charges related to inadequate supervision and failing to protect children from hazards, each carrying a maximum fine of $57,400. Following the incident, the centre has made changes, including replacing the bucket and enhancing staff training. No staff members are facing charges in connection with this incident, although the centre's closure follows a separate case involving a childcare worker convicted of assaulting children.
