The tap has a normal lever for hot / cold water which cannot dispense boiling water.
The collet around the base of the tap needs to be tapped twice then turned in order to dispense boiling water. Aside from the fact that I supervise our 2 year old if she's washing her hands (she needs her tower moving to that part of the kitchen at the very least), she wouldn't be able to activate it even if she wanted to.

Out of curiosity where do they wash their hands?
I think if you're not going have them washing hands in the kitchen sink or if the boiling water tap can be located next to the hobs, then you reduce the risk.
Personality/temperament of your kid is a big factor too. #2 might not play with it when they're at tap reaching age, but #1 would 100% have a crack at washing their hands with boiling water to see what happens. My understanding is mini-Tenderloin's appreciation of risk and rules is still TBC.
