Arianna Maragol: Heartbroken parents call for investigation into death of their daughter at childcare centre

The heartbroken parents of a baby girl who died at a Sydney childcare centre, are still appealing for answers into the cause of her untimely death, more than six years on.

Arianna Maragol was just 16 months old when she died after being found unresponsive at a childcare centre in Sydney.

The infant was placed in a cot at the Berry Patch preschool at Kellyville Ridge about 9am on August 24 2018, it was previously heard in court, and found unresponsive three hours later.

Ariana later died in hospital, and an autopsy was inconclusive.

However, some six years on Arianna’s parents say they are still searching for answers.

Jozef Maragol and Anet said they had “trusted” the system to take care of their daughter.

“No one was there for her ... no one told us what happened,” Anet told 7NEWS.

“We had to find out through the doctor that she had passed away.

“That’s how much value the life of child has in the childcare system.”

The parents said an inquest date into Arianna’s death was still yet to be set.

“It’s unacceptable,” Mr Jozef said.

“Our family has been put through such prolonged suffering.”

7NEWS understands staff at the centre used security cameras to monitor the toddlers’ sleep movements instead of conducting physical checks.

“We were called and told everything is fine ... but in fact, if they had checked physically on her at the time of Annette’s calling, we might not be here today,” Mr Jozef said.

The centre and its owner, Helen Jacobs, were found guilty of 13 charges in 2022, including failing to appropriately supervise children and protect them from harm.

They were fined more than $140,000, combined.

The charges, which Jacobs is set to appeal, did not relate to Arianna’s death.
