I’m the OC. I found similar patterns in the genus Scotinella (but is usually found in America)
I leave here an album with more pictures of the same specimen

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This looks like a Noble False Widow, Steatoda nobilis.
Thanks a lot. I saw other pictures of that specimen and is really similar.
I found that it not fatal, but how dangerous is this spider to children?
They’re unlikely to bite except in self defense, they’re not something to worry about. Everyone’s immune system is different though so of course reactions may vary.
