ACECQA-Aligned Cleaning
Daycare cleaning that meets ACECQA National Quality Standards
Early childhood education and care services in Australia are regulated under the National Quality Framework (NQF), with cleaning and hygiene practices directly tied to two key quality areas. Element 2.1 of the National Quality Standard (Health and Safety) requires that each child's health is promoted and physical risks are minimised. Element 3.1 (Physical Environment) requires that the service environment is safe, clean and well maintained. ACECQA assessors review cleaning practices as part of Quality Area 3 assessments, and inadequate cleaning can result in improvement notices.
Cleaning a daycare facility is fundamentally different from cleaning a standard commercial space. Infants and toddlers mouth objects, crawl on floors and come into direct contact with surfaces that adults never touch. Every product used must be safe if ingested in trace amounts, free from strong fragrances that can trigger respiratory reactions, and effective enough to kill the pathogens — gastroenteritis viruses, hand, foot and mouth disease, RSV — that circulate rapidly through early childhood centres.
All cleaners assigned to daycare facilities in Parramatta hold a current NSW Working With Children Check (WWCC) and National Police Check. We use TGA-listed, low-VOC, fragrance-free disinfectants on all child contact surfaces. Our cleaning procedures follow the NHMRC's Staying Healthy: Preventing Infectious Diseases in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings guidelines, which are the national benchmark for infection prevention in early childhood.
We service long day care centres, family day care services, preschools and kindergartens, occasional care facilities and out of school hours care (OOSH) programs across Parramatta, Westmead, North Parramatta, Granville, Merrylands and the surrounding area. Holiday deep clean programs are available during January, April and July closures.
