I want a pond in the garden but have a todler so at the moment I'm not risking it and totally understand your worries as they are dangerous to young children if they escape!!! However, I'm sure you could make it safe as said above either by constructing something yourself or fencing it in...Obviously you know what your little ones are like so it's up to you. However if you decide to fill the pond in which would be sad, you will probably find that the amphibians wil return even if the pond has gone. I would contact the bhs or local wildlife trust for relocating them if you have to.
