Professional Day Nursery Cleaning Across London
Running a day nursery or preschool in London means creating a safe, hygienic environment where young children can learn, play, and thrive. Parents trust you with their most precious responsibility — and they expect spotless, germ-free surroundings every single day.
A clean day nursery is not just about appearances. It is essential for infection control, meeting Ofsted early years hygiene requirements, and protecting the health of children and staff. Young children are particularly vulnerable to the spread of bacteria and viruses — and nursery environments, with their shared toys, surfaces, and close contact, are one of the highest-risk settings for germ transmission.
At Let Cleanness Be, we provide a dedicated day nursery and preschool cleaning service designed specifically for London childcare settings. With over 23 years of commercial cleaning experience, we understand the unique demands of early years environments — from playrooms and sleep rooms to baby changing areas, kitchens, and outdoor spaces.
We use only COSHH-compliant, child-safe cleaning products — non-toxic, fragrance-free, and proven effective against the bacteria and viruses most commonly found in nursery and childcare settings. Every product we use is safe for environments where babies and young children eat, sleep, and play.
Our DBS checked cleaning teams work around your opening hours — early mornings before children arrive or evenings after closing — so there is zero disruption to your nursery day. We deliver consistent, thorough cleaning that keeps your setting Ofsted-ready, parent-approved, and genuinely hygienic every day of the week.
Whether you run a single-room day nursery, a large multi-room childcare centre, a preschool, or a kindergarten, we build a cleaning schedule around your specific needs, room layout, and operating hours.

Infection Control for Day Nurseries & Preschools
Day nurseries and preschools are among the highest-risk environments for the spread of infectious illness. Young children in early years settings are still developing their immune systems, and the combination of shared toys, close physical contact, toilet training, and limited handwashing awareness creates ideal conditions for bacteria and viruses to spread rapidly.
Effective infection control in nursery settings goes far beyond a basic clean. It requires targeted sanitisation of high-touch surfaces — door handles, light switches, taps, table edges, toy boxes — as well as thorough cleaning of the areas where children are most vulnerable: changing stations, sleep rooms, and food preparation areas.
Our nursery cleaning service is built around COSHH-compliant protocols and child-safe disinfectants proven effective against the bacteria and viruses most commonly responsible for illness outbreaks in early years settings, including norovirus, hand, foot and mouth, and respiratory infections.
All our cleaning products are non-toxic, fragrance-free, and safe for environments where babies and young children eat, sleep, and play. We never use harsh chemicals or irritants that could affect children with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities.
This rigorous approach to infection control helps you protect your children and staff, reduce illness-related absences, maintain your Ofsted hygiene rating, and give parents complete confidence in your setting.
Ofsted-Ready Cleaning for Early Years Settings
Ofsted inspections assess the overall quality and safety of your early years setting — and the cleanliness and hygiene of your premises is a visible, tangible part of that assessment. A poorly maintained day nursery or preschool can raise safeguarding concerns and negatively impact your inspection outcome.
Our day nursery cleaning service is designed to keep your setting consistently Ofsted-ready — not just on inspection day, but every day. We maintain the hygiene standards that inspectors expect to see, from spotless changing facilities and sanitised food prep areas to clean, well-maintained playrooms and toilets.
We also offer one-off pre-inspection deep cleans for nurseries and preschools that need to bring their premises up to the highest standard ahead of a scheduled or unannounced Ofsted visit. Our deep clean covers every room, surface, and area in detail — giving you complete confidence going into your inspection.
All our cleaners working in early years settings are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and trained in safeguarding awareness. They understand the importance of working discreetly and professionally in childcare environments.

Day Nursery & Preschool Cleaning FAQs
What areas of a day nursery do you clean?
We clean all areas of your day nursery including playrooms and learning areas, sleep rooms, baby changing stations, children's toilets and potty areas, kitchens and food prep zones, dining areas and highchairs, reception and parent waiting areas, staff rooms, corridors, and storage areas. We pay particular attention to toys, high-touch surfaces, and all areas where children eat, sleep, and play.
Do you use child-safe, COSHH-compliant cleaning products?
Yes. We exclusively use non-toxic, child-safe cleaning products that comply with COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations. Our products are effective against bacteria and viruses while being completely safe for young children — free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and irritants that could affect children with allergies or sensitivities.
Can you clean outside of nursery opening hours?
Absolutely. We offer early morning cleans before children arrive and evening cleans after closing, so your day nursery or preschool is spotless and hygienically prepared for each new day. Most London nurseries prefer pre-opening cleans to ensure a fresh, safe start every morning.
How often should a day nursery be professionally cleaned?
Most London day nurseries and preschools benefit from daily professional cleaning due to the nature of early years childcare environments and Ofsted hygiene requirements. We also offer periodic deep cleans, weekend cleans, and bespoke schedules tailored to your nursery's size, room count, and operating hours.
Are your cleaners DBS checked?
Yes. All our cleaners working in day nurseries, preschools, and childcare settings are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked, fully insured, and trained specifically for early years environments. Safeguarding and child safety are our absolute priority on every visit.
Do you clean toys and play equipment?
Yes. We sanitise hard toys, play equipment surfaces, soft play areas, sensory equipment, and educational materials as part of our nursery cleaning service. We use child-safe disinfectants that are proven effective against common nursery germs while being completely gentle.
Can you help us prepare for an Ofsted inspection?
Yes. We offer one-off deep cleans specifically designed to bring your day nursery up to the highest hygiene standard ahead of an Ofsted inspection. We cover every room, surface, and area in detail — giving you complete confidence that your premises will meet and exceed the cleanliness standards inspectors expect.
