School and nursery cleaning

Schools and nurseries need cleaning that respects the timetable, the people using the space and the difference between a classroom, a staff room and a washroom. CQD builds the service around the actual building, agreeing when rooms are available, which areas need daily attention and how the handover works before children, staff and visitors arrive. The result is a clear commercial routine that supports the setting without becoming another task for the site team.

The service can cover classrooms, nursery rooms, corridors, entrances, offices, staff rooms, kitchens, washrooms and shared activity areas. Daily work may include vacuuming and mopping, surface cleaning, bin emptying, touch-point sanitisation, washroom cleaning and restocking, with extra attention to high-use routes and food areas. Access planning matters in education, so the specification records room priorities, cleaning windows, storage points and any areas that need a separate sequence. COSHH-compliant products and colour-zone discipline support a consistent method across the premises.

A school or nursery is a working environment with a visible duty of care. Parents, governors, staff and visitors notice whether entrances, toilets and shared rooms feel looked after, while leaders need confidence that the agreed cleaning standard is being carried out consistently. A dedicated two-person team gets to know the building and its routines, reducing repeated explanations for the office manager. Supervisor oversight gives the responsible person a useful route for checking the service and raising a change in requirements.

Bronze, Silver and Gold subscriptions allow the cleaning plan to match the setting. Bronze covers the daily essentials; Silver adds machine hard-floor cleaning, deeper kitchen and breakroom work and daily touch-point sanitisation; Gold adds daily machine floor cleaning, washroom consumables fulfilment and regular inspection and sign-off. An initial deep clean is included at subscription commencement. There are no long-term contracts and no TUPE requirement, so the arrangement can be reviewed as the setting changes.

CQD mobilises within 5–7 working days once the specification is agreed. The same dedicated two-person team becomes familiar with the site, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems, CHAS, BICSc, DBS-checked staff and COSHH-compliant products. Service is available 24/7, and enquiries receive a response within 2 hours. If the building or its operating pattern changes, the specification can be reviewed with the person responsible for the premises. The next step is a free site survey, followed by a clear monthly plan with no long-term contract. It also keeps responsibility in one operating relationship: the site has a named team, a written specification and a clear route to adjust the service when occupancy, rooms or access arrangements change.
