Cleaning for schools and nurseries
How cleaning works in a school and a children’s centre
Cleaning is built into the timetable: between sessions, at break and after lessons. Touchpoints at child height, the canteen and washrooms under peak load, low-odour products and ventilation.
Cleaning to the timetable
of lessons and sessions
We look after schools, nurseries and pre-schools, activity and development centres, language and training centres, and children’s play areas in malls.
A general contractor cleans as if it were an office: once a day, at adult height and whenever suits them. In a children’s setting it works the other way round — the lower walls and the floor matter more than the desks, and the cleaning window is set by the bell, not by the supervisor.
Why a school can’t run on
an office protocol
Four reasons. Pick one and see what it means for the contractor.
We clean at child height
Children touch what an adult never notices: the lower walls and doors, handles at their own height, window sills, table legs, the floor as a play surface. The checklist is built from that height, not from an office one.
The checklist is built from child height: lower walls and doors, handles, table edges, the floor.
Smell and chemicals under control
We use low-odour products with the rooms ventilated, and anything with a strong smell is moved to after lessons or to the holidays. A child spends six hours at a stretch in that room.
Low-odour products; anything strong is used only after lessons and in the holidays, with the rooms ventilated.
The timetable doesn’t move
A break lasts ten minutes and sessions change at a fixed time. Cleaning is built into those windows: the canteen between sittings, washrooms at break, classrooms after lessons.
The cleaning windows follow the bell: the canteen between sittings, washrooms at break, classrooms after lessons.
Canteen and washrooms peak in minutes
Two hundred people pass through the canteen and washrooms in a short window. Those areas need several rounds to a timetable, not one clean a day.
The canteen and the washrooms are covered several times a day, not once in the evening.
What we do in a school
The areas we
answer for
Tap an area on the plan to see where the risk sits and what we do about it.
Classrooms
Children spend most of their time here, and touch the lower walls, the desks and the floor.
After lessons: desks and chairs, window sills, lower walls and doors, floor, ventilation.
Corridors and common areas
At break the whole school is here, and the walls get marked at child height.
Floors, skirting, walls and lockers at child level, bins, touchpoints.
Washrooms
Peak load at break and the main source of smell in the corridor.
Several rounds to the timetable: cleaned with disinfectant, consumables, odour control.
Canteen
Two hundred people pass through in a short window, and the floor picks up everything.
Tables and chairs between sittings, floors after every service, waste.
Sports hall and changing rooms
Mats and equipment are in contact with skin, and changing rooms bring smell.
Floors and hall covering, mats and equipment, benches and lockers, showers where there are any.
Play areas
Toys and soft play pick up everything that is on the floor.
Modules and shelving wiped, carpet cleaned, toys to the centre’s schedule.
Measured on site,
reported to you
The KPI and SLA framework is set for your site at launch, so quality can be checked rather than taken on trust.
What the client
facilities teams
Four things facilities teams answer for in front of their own management — and that we take on.
A site manager and a supervisor by name and direct number, not a general office line.
The work windows follow breaks and session changes; no lesson moves because of cleaning.
Lower walls, handles and table edges are on the checklist alongside the floor — where a child actually touches.
Low-odour products, machinery and safety data sheets sit with the contractor.
You don’t notice the right contractor while things go well — and they prove their worth the moment something goes wrong.
How many people
and hours a school needs
Set the area and the schedule — you get the crew size, hours on site and a price range. The exact figure comes after the survey.
An attendant is a cleaner who stays on site during lesson hours: washrooms and the canteen between sessions, spills, touchpoints, consumables. They work with your staff member present, and the roster is agreed in advance.
