School and nursery cleaning in London by DBS-checked cleaners you can trust
Fantastic Corporate Services provides professional school and nursery cleaning across London, supporting settings from individual nurseries and primary schools to multi-site academy trusts. Every cleaning operative we place on an education site holds an Enhanced DBS check.
Schools in England follow the Department for Education’s Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance, while nurseries and other early years settings must meet the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the EYFS framework. As a specialist education cleaning provider, we support school and nursery safeguarding responsibilities through careful vetting, consistent staffing and controlled working practices.
How we support school and nursery safeguarding requirements
- Enhanced DBS check: Held by every operative we place on an education site.
- Right-to-work check and references: Relevant vetting checks are completed before an operative starts.
- The same team on each visit: We assign the same cleaners so caretakers, receptionists or nursery managers know who is in the building.
- Minimal contact with pupils: Cleaning takes place outside school hours wherever the setting allows.
- Compliance documentation: Vetting and safeguarding information can be provided during procurement, onboarding or site surveys.
School cleaning services in London - daily, periodic and holiday cleans in one plan
Our school cleaning services in London cover primary and secondary schools, academies, independent schools and colleges, with one written plan that joins the daily clean to periodic and holiday work. The service follows an agreed task list, with the scope and frequency confirmed before the work begins.
- Classrooms and learning spaces: Our classroom cleaning covers accessible desks, tables, chairs, shelving, floors, bins and frequently touched surfaces. Teaching resources, displays, IT equipment and specialist materials are cleaned only where suitable methods and responsibilities have been agreed in advance.
- Toilets, washrooms and changing rooms: We clean toilets, basins, taps, cubicles, mirrors and floors, with particular attention to frequently touched surfaces and high-use areas.
- Corridors, entrances and reception areas: Cleaning covers floors, entrance areas, handrails, doors and accessible internal glass to help keep the spaces used by pupils, staff and visitors clean and presentable throughout the day.
- Halls, sports facilities and specialist rooms: We agree suitable cleaning requirements for assembly halls, sports halls, changing facilities, laboratories and other specialist areas. Cleaning methods are selected according to the flooring, equipment and permitted access.
- Staff rooms, offices and dining areas: Cleaning can include accessible surfaces, floors, bins, staff kitchenettes and dining areas. Routine cleaning and specialist commercial kitchen deep cleaning are quoted separately, so it is clear what is included in the service.

Nursery cleaning services tailored to early-years environments
Nurseries and pre-schools need a cleaning plan that reflects how young children use the space. Floor-level play, shared activities, snack times and frequent use of toilets create different cleaning priorities from those of a typical school or office.
The EYFS statutory framework requires early years providers to meet standards designed to keep children healthy and safe. Effective cleaning routines can support these responsibilities by helping maintain hygienic spaces and reduce the risk of infection spreading within the setting.
Our nursery cleaning is designed for day nurseries, pre-schools, nursery schools, children’s centres, playgroups and childminding settings across London. We use cleaning products suitable for early years environments and follow a room-by-room specification covering playrooms, sleep rooms, nappy-changing and toilet areas, kitchens and feeding areas, entrances and buggy storage.
We agree the cleaning tasks and schedule with nursery managers so the service fits around the setting’s daily routine and complements the cleaning carried out by staff throughout the day.
What nursery cleaning includes
- Playrooms and activity areas - Clean accessible tables, chairs, shelving, floors and child-height touchpoints.
- Toilets and changing areas - Clean fixtures and agreed surfaces, with changing-area tasks specified in your plan.
- Meal and snack areas - Clean tables, seating, flooring and agreed food-area surfaces.
- Quiet and sleep spaces - Clean accessible surfaces and floors around your agreed arrangements.
- Entrances and communal areas - Remove everyday dirt and give attention to shared touchpoints.
- Staff rooms and offices - Maintain clean workspaces for your nursery team.
Most nurseries open early and close late, so we can arrange cleaning before opening, after closing, at weekends and during planned closures. Between-session cleans and deeper termly or half-yearly cleaning can also be added where rooms are used by different groups on different days.
We agree the cleaning tasks and schedule with the nursery in advance, so everyone knows what is cleaned and when, without disrupting nap times, meal service or daily activities.
