What's inside

Four practical tools in one short review guide

Printable checklists and a scorecard you can walk through your centre with, rather than a long report.

01

Daily Cleaning Checklist

Key areas to review during routine childcare cleaning, room by room: entry, play rooms, bathrooms and nappy change, kitchen, sleep rooms and staff areas.

02

Periodic Cleaning Tasks

Tasks requiring additional attention beyond daily cleaning, grouped into weekly, monthly and scheduled work such as carpet care and term-break deep cleans.

03

Cleaning Quality Review

Seven questions to help assess consistency, communication and accountability, from staff continuity to how quickly missed tasks are fixed.

04

Cleaning Provider Scorecard

A practical way to evaluate your existing provider: rate eight criteria from 1 to 5 for a total out of 40, with guidance on what your score means.

The guide is general information only and does not replace your centre's own policies, regulatory requirements or professional advice.
