I have top bolts and bottom bolts, the top ones to stop the children getting out, and bottom ones (on the inside) to stop anyone getting in x

We are fully enclosed by fencing and have a iron gate which has a top latch with a combination padlock.

I have just put them on too.. but now that i look at them they look to small. I could prob extend on top of them and put a lock up high out of reach of the children.
They look abit like these (never put on pic on before hope this works) 5266

Wooden gate (6 foot tall) with a bolt at the top to stop the children getting out and another one 2/3 of the way down to stop people from getting in. They're slightly offset too so you have to hold the gate up with your foot to be able to undo them - still allows us to get out in an emergency but prevents small people from climbing up on something and opening both bolts.

We have a waist height metal gate which we lock with a padlock. The children can't get out- couldn't climb over because of the style of the gate, there's nothing for them to put their foot on if that makes sense? Plus they are all too little at the moment anyway. I know as they get older I will need something taller but because of where it needs to be fitted (between two brick walls, the house and the garage) it will cost a bomb!
