I have a toddler and a medium-sized laburnum tree at the back of my
garden,
which seems to produce a lot of seeds.

How poisonous are these seeds?

Deadly. Two kids on our estate were rushed off to hospital when it was
suspected that they had eaten some laburnum seeds. Fortunately they
hadn't.

They do seem to get everywhere. Would I be best off getting rid of the
tree?

Sadly, yes.

(Obviously she isn't left to wander around the garden by herself, but she
does like shoving things in her mouth.)

Some day she will be big enough to wander alone but may well still be
young enough to eat the seeds.
