"Hi I'm Dave
Depending on what type of pond you have for example surrounded by earth or rocks you could use anti-crack mess building grade which is very strong and would definitely hold a child's weight if you need to know more upload some pictures and I could guide you through it.
Kind regards Dave"

"A raised pond is always a good start if you have small children and cover the top with strong chicken wire"

"You can put a picket fence up around the pond to keep it safe from children and pets or you can put a metal grid that goes on top of the pond to stop children from falling in"
