Reply to comment by epicmoe in Can anyone tell me why this model of Aga has taps on the front? by epicmoe

Why would you be concerned about the taps and not literally everything else? If a toddler has access to the taps they can also open the oven and even the fire place.

Not really - those doors are cast iron, they're quite heavy. You've got to lift them up to open them.

But the front surfaces of the stove are hot enough to burn, and yes, the taps are an issue. Perhaps a fence or guard around the whole stove.

I've got a solid-fuel Rayburn but I never needed a kid-guard, when they started crawling, we went through a few lessons of what "hot" means.
