Yes, and also the similar 'there aren't any'. Nevertheless, 'there are no' is the most elegant choice, in my opinion.
yes, though I am not sure if only the most elegant solution should be accepted in the source language :D

As a native English speaker, I have to admit that the English translation offered here seems a little unnatural. I wouldn't use 'AT the deep water' on its own. The use of 'at' leaves me wanting more detail: 'at the deep water what?'

I'd say "near" as a better translation - even if it isn't exactly what the Hungarian says. But "by" is better than "at".
In American English the natural translation of this would be "There aren't any children by the deep water." "There aren't any" should be accepted as a translation of nincsenek.
