Childcare centres are not offices. They are environments where children spend their days touching every surface, putting toys in their mouths, sharing food, crawling on floors, and doing exactly the things that make thorough cleaning a genuine health requirement rather than a cosmetic one.
Nexus Kleen provides professional childcare cleaning across Perth for childcare centres, daycare facilities, kindergartens, and early learning centres. Our cleaning practices are aligned with ACECQA Quality Area 2 and Quality Area 3 standards and the NHMRC Staying Healthy guidelines. We use child-safe, non-toxic cleaning products throughout and our entire team is police-cleared.
Childcare cleaning in Perth starts from $55+GST per hour. No lock-in contracts. Your first trial clean is free.

What Childcare Cleaning in Perth Actually Involves
A childcare centre has areas that a standard commercial cleaner will miss entirely because they do not understand the environment. Nappy change areas need sanitisation after the day’s use, not just a wipe. Toy storage needs attention because mouthed toys accumulate bacteria faster than any office surface. Kitchen and food preparation areas are governed by food safety standards that go beyond a normal office kitchen wipe-down. And the floors in a room full of crawling infants need to be genuinely clean, not just visually acceptable.
Playrooms and Learning Spaces
Tables, chairs, shelving, and surfaces wiped and sanitised. Floors vacuumed and mopped with child-safe products. High-touch areas including door handles, light switches, and window latches disinfected. Toy storage areas cleaned. Craft areas cleared of debris and surfaces sanitised.
Bathrooms and Nappy Change Areas
Toilets, basins, and taps cleaned and sanitised. Nappy change surfaces disinfected. Floors mopped with hospital-grade sanitiser. Bins emptied and sanitised. Supplies restocked. Bathrooms in childcare centres need a higher standard than any other commercial environment because the users are children with developing immune systems.
Kitchen and Food Preparation Areas
Benchtops, sinks, splashbacks, and appliance exteriors cleaned and sanitised. Floors mopped. Bins emptied and sanitised. High chairs and feeding tables wiped down. Food preparation surfaces treated to meet food safety standards. These areas are inspected by both ACECQA assessors and local council health officers.
Sleep and Rest Areas
Cot areas vacuumed and mopped. Surfaces wiped and sanitised. General tidying and dust removal. These rooms need to be clean and free of allergens to support safe rest practices for infants and toddlers.
Reception, Staff Areas and Common Spaces
Reception desk and parent sign-in areas cleaned. Staff room cleaned including kitchen facilities. Office areas maintained. External entry areas swept or mopped. These are the spaces parents see first when they arrive and last when they leave.
Outdoor Play Areas
Sweeping of covered outdoor areas. Removal of debris and litter. Spot-cleaning of outdoor equipment where required. Outdoor areas can be included as part of a comprehensive after-hours program.
How a Perth Childcare Centre Has Stayed Consistently Clean for Over Three Years
This client operates a busy childcare centre in Perth catering for children from infants through to pre-kindy. When they contacted us in 2022, the centre had been managing cleaning with a combination of staff and a part-time cleaner three evenings a week. The bathrooms were not being done thoroughly. The kitchen was getting a surface clean but the detail work was not happening. The centre director was spending her own time cleaning on mornings before ACECQA-related visits because she did not trust the standard left the night before.
We started with a full deep clean to reset the baseline. Every room stripped back and cleaned properly. Carpets steam cleaned. Bathrooms descaled and sanitised. Kitchen deep cleaned to food safety standard. Then we built a five-day-a-week cleaning program around how the centre actually operates.
Monday through Friday, our team arrives after the last child has been collected. Every playroom is cleaned and sanitised. Every bathroom and nappy change area is disinfected. The kitchen is cleaned to a standard that satisfies both the centre’s food safety requirements and visiting assessors. The same two cleaners have been on this contract since 2022 — in over three years of five-day-a-week cleaning, we have not missed a single scheduled visit. The centre director told us that cleaning has not been raised as an issue in a single parent meeting or ACECQA-related discussion since we started.

ACECQA Compliance and Childcare Cleaning Standards
If you operate a childcare centre in Australia, your cleaning practices are assessed under the National Quality Standard. Quality Area 2 (Children’s Health and Safety) and Quality Area 3 (Physical Environment) both require demonstrable standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and maintenance.
The Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011 require that premises, furniture, and equipment are maintained in a safe and clean condition (Regulation 103). ACECQA assessors will observe cleaning practices, review your documented cleaning schedules, and check that cleaning products used are safe for environments where children are present.
Our childcare cleaning programs in Perth are designed to support your compliance with these requirements. We provide documented cleaning schedules aligned to your centre’s operational hours, use only child-safe and non-toxic products, and maintain records that your compliance team can reference during ACECQA assessments.
If your centre has an upcoming ACECQA assessment and your current cleaning arrangement is not delivering the standard your assessor will expect, call us. We can often start within days and bring the facility up to standard before the assessment date.
Additional Services for Childcare Centres
Most childcare centres need more than just daily cleaning. One provider managing everything means one point of contact, one standard, and one invoice.
Carpet steam cleaning for playrooms, nap areas, and common spaces. We recommend quarterly for most childcare centres and monthly for high-traffic infant rooms.
Window cleaning for internal and external glass, including low-level windows that children touch and press their faces against daily.
Deep cleaning during term breaks — a full facility deep clean during school holiday periods. This resets the baseline and addresses areas that daily cleaning does not reach.
Pressure washing for outdoor covered play areas, pathways, and car park surfaces that accumulate dirt, mould, and debris over time.

Childcare Cleaning Perth — Common Questions
How much does childcare cleaning in Perth cost?
Childcare cleaning in Perth starts from $55+GST per hour. For a typical childcare centre cleaned five days a week after hours, most operators pay between $2,000 and $3,500+GST per month depending on the size of the facility and scope of work.
Are your cleaners police-cleared?
Yes. Every cleaner holds a current National Police Clearance before they enter any childcare facility. Since all our cleaning is completed after hours when no children are present, a Working With Children Check is not a requirement — but every cleaner is still thoroughly vetted before being assigned to any childcare centre.
Are your cleaning products safe for children?
Yes. We use only non-toxic, eco-friendly, child-safe cleaning products. No harsh chemicals, no residue on surfaces that children touch, and no fumes that could affect children with respiratory sensitivities or allergies.
How often should a childcare centre be cleaned?
Five days a week is the standard for most Perth childcare centres. Daily cleaning ensures bathrooms, nappy change areas, kitchens, playrooms, and high-touch surfaces are sanitised before children arrive each morning.
Do you provide cleaning schedules for ACECQA compliance?
Yes. We provide documented cleaning schedules aligned with ACECQA Quality Area 2 and Quality Area 3 requirements for display and reference during assessments.
Can you clean after hours so the centre is ready each morning?
Yes. All our childcare cleaning in Perth is completed after the centre closes for the day. Our team arrives after the last child has been collected.
Will we get the same cleaners every time?
Yes. Same team assigned to your centre on every visit. Consistency is critical in childcare environments — your cleaners know the layout, routines, and what your centre director expects.
What insurance do you carry?
$20 million in public liability coverage on every childcare cleaning job in Perth. Certificates of currency provided to centre operators as standard.
Do I need a contract?
No. Childcare cleaning with Nexus Kleen is month to month. No lock-in, no exit penalties.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within 5 to 7 days from the site walkthrough. For centres with an upcoming ACECQA assessment or urgent need, we can often start within 48 hours.
