No Children Signs are prohibition signs used to stop children entering restricted or unsafe areas. They help you control access in workplaces, warehouses, service yards and staff-only entrances where moving equipment, deliveries or operational hazards may put young visitors at risk.

Where No Children Signs Should Be Installed

You should install these signs at entrances, gates, doors, reception cut-off points and routes leading into restricted work areas. Place them at normal eye level before the risk, so adults see the restriction before children can enter the space.

Viewing Distance Guidance for No Children Signs

Choose the size by approach distance and how quickly people need to react. A5 suits close door reading, A4 is clearer across small entrances and A3 gives stronger visibility at gates, yards and wider access points.

Size	Best viewing use	Typical distance
H 210 x W 148 mm	Close door or reception reading	Up to 2 m
H 297 x W 210 mm	Corridors, entrances and small work areas	Up to 4 m
H 420 x W 297 mm	Gates, yards and wider access points	Up to 6 m

Safer restriction signs for vulnerable access points

For a broader entry restriction, choose authorised personnel only access signage where visitors or children should not enter. Useful for stockrooms, plant areas and private workspaces.

Where foot traffic itself creates the risk, use no pedestrians prohibition safety signs to make restricted walking routes obvious. Good for entrances near vehicles, workshops and loading areas.

For temporary barriers or supervised closures, consider no access stanchion signs at the point of approach. They are useful when the restriction may move during the day.

If you need to prevent through movement, add no thoroughfare signs where people may attempt to pass through. Helpful for corridors, yards and closed internal routes.

For more child, visitor and pedestrian restriction choices, browse pedestrian access restriction signs and match the wording to your site risk. This keeps the message clear without overcomplicating the entrance.
