School & Childcare Cleaning in Perth & the Peel Region

Yes. All staff have current Working with Children checks, National Police Clearance, and Public Liability Insurance.

Employees are required to hold working with children cards if working with any crossover with students on site. We also encourage employees to obtain and hold first aid certifications and Police clearances. We undertake background checks with employees selected to work on school sites.

What we hold and what you can verify.

Most education procurement policies require cleaning staff to hold some form of clearance. In most cases it is the working with children clearance card, we ask cleaners to go a step beyond and also obtain other clearances and checks.
Our minimum clearance required for cleaning staff:

• Working with children clearance card

We ask cleaning staff to obtain the following:

• National police clearance
• Senior first aid certificate
• Workplace safety training

We as a company hold

• Public liability insurance — held, available on request
• ABN registered — ABN 35 695 428 712
• Director holds a national police clearance

All employees working at school sites are onboarded and provided training of our cleaning processes. Working across schools, childcare centres and daycares are similar but come with very specific requirements in the way processes. We have site specific training in place for our education sites in Perth, Western Australia.

Child-safe, non-toxic products certified for use in educational spaces. We use sustainable products wheree possible and some WA manufactured materials. We comply with Western Australia childcare cleaning standards.

We use a variety of sustainable cleaning materials where possible and use HEPA-filtered vacuums, microfibre systems and low toxicity, fragrance-reduced disinfectants to reduce any and all allergens. We aim to reduce checmical exposure when working at schools, daycare centres and early learning centres.

Cleaners are provided PPE to protect themselves while working onsite. 

When we introduce new products we conduct training sessions with key team members to provide correct instruction on use and procedure for using new equipment.

Education sites typically need practical everyday supplies that support classrooms, amenities and high-traffic shared spaces. Helpful starting points are general cleaning supplies like disinfectants, multi clean agents and washroom consumables. 

Yes. OSHC cleaning can be scheduled when you need it done. Some sites have multiple sessions per day so the same hall or classroom serves two different uses with different hygiene requirements on the same day.

• Between-session turnaround covers high-contact surfaces, shared hall and multipurpose space reset, toilets, and snack preparation area sanitisation. 
• OSHC operates in shared school infrastructure, so the cleaning schedule has to fit both the school’s contract and the OSHC provider’s licensed hours without either party chasing it. 
• Brightside cleaners hold working with whildren whecks and are cleared to attend while children are on site, so a turnaround clean doesn’t require the space to be fully vacated. 

We specialise in high-contact surface reset between OSHC sessions without full facility evacuation. We are very familiar with OSHC service delivery.

For larger internal areas and holiday reset periods, many facilities look at equipment that can cover space efficiently while improving floor presentation. 

We often cover deep cleaning during the holiday period, we strip and seal floors, deep carpet cleaning and dirt extraction, window cleaning, and a top to bottom clean.

Educational spaces require higher hygiene standards, compliance with WHS regulations, child-safe products, and documented protocols for outbreak response. Our 20+ years in schools means we understand the specific regulations in WA childcare facilities.

Commercial childcare cleaning is contracted daily cleaning of an early learning or daycare centre delivered to the hygiene standard the National Quality Framework requires, using products safe for spaces where children crawl, mouth surfaces and sleep. 

Approved providers must maintain policies and procedures for health, hygiene and safe food practices under the Education and Care Services National Regulations as applied in Western Australia, and your cleaning records form part of the evidence reviewed under National Quality Standard Quality Area 2 (Children’s health and safety). 

We have partnered with Connect Team for company scheduling, reporting and day to day operations. Flexible before-hours daily cleaning, emergency outbreak response (24-hour availability), and weekend deep cleans available.

After a gastro outbreak, standard cleaning is insufficient because norovirus and rotavirus are non-enveloped viruses, they survive on surfaces for days to weeks and resist many general-purpose disinfectants, including quaternary ammonium compounds and alcohol-based products.

The response is a rapid full-sanitisation clean of every high-contact surface using a disinfectant with demonstrated efficacy against non-enveloped viruses, not a repeat of the daily clean.

• Priority surfaces: toilets and nappy change areas, taps, door handles, light switches, cot rails, mats, and all shared toys and play equipment. 
• Soft furnishings, mats and fabric toys need laundering or steam treatment rather than surface wiping, because wiping redistributes rather than removes viral particles. 
• Brightside provides emergency outbreak-response callout across Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury and the Peel and South West regions.
