What background checks and security procedures are in place for cleaning staff working in childcare centres?
Cleaning staff working in childcare centres must hold the appropriate current Working with Children Check, including a Queensland Blue Card where required. Our team also undergoes police checks, site induction and ongoing supervision, supported by GC Cleaning’s Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy and Safeguarding Officer. All cleaners are trained in child-safe practices, and GC Cleaning carries $20 million public liability insurance.
How do you clean toys, play areas and sleep rooms?
We clean and sanitise toys, play equipment, activity stations and other frequently used areas based on the requirements of the centre and the agreed cleaning scope. This can also include outdoor play areas and nap or sleep rooms, with the cleaning routine planned around how each space is used.
What happens if something isn't cleaned properly or isn't done as requested?
GC Cleaning uses GC Assure, our four-layer auditable quality framework aligned with ISSA CIMS and BICSc principles. It covers daily readiness, shift closure and objective audits carried out by supervisors, helping us monitor the agreed cleaning standard and address issues when they are identified.
Can you supply hand towels, toilet paper, soap and other washroom supplies?
Yes. We supply and restock toilet rolls, hand towels, hand soap and urinal mats for our regular clients, with free delivery. Dispensers are also supplied free of charge for clients who commit to a 24-month contract.
What does school and childcare cleaning in Brisbane include?
School and childcare cleaning covers the areas included in the agreed scope, based on the size of the facility, how it is used and its cleaning requirements. We provide both ongoing cleaning contracts and one-off deep cleans, with the work planned around the individual site.
How much does school and childcare cleaning in Brisbane cost?
The cost depends on factors such as the size of the centre, the number of rooms, how often cleaning is required and the available access hours. The best way to determine the right scope for your facility is to arrange a site visit and discuss its requirements with our team.
