Asbestos found in a power box at Lady Brooks Kindergarten in Kyneton resulted in the Melbourne kindy being shut down for 24 hours last week.
The kindergarten was reopened the following day after the asbestos sheeting had been removed. Macedon Ranges Council has ensured that none of the children have been exposed to asbestos.
All kindergartens managed by the council have been inspected for asbestos. This decision was made after asbestos was found at a kindergarten in the Melbourne town of Woodend in February.
Asbestos exposure is a serious health concern as it can see people develop the asbestos related cancer of mesothelioma later in their lives.
