Cleaning that supports your Ofsted standards
Nursery cleaning in Derby is judged on safety as much as appearance. Sticky tables, dusty toy shelves, or a missed bathroom corner can all show up in a parent walk-around or an unexpected Ofsted visit.
We support private nurseries, pre-school settings, and home-based childminders across Derby including Allestree, Mickleover, Spondon, and the city centre. Our role sits alongside your in-day cleaning routine — your staff handle nappy changes, spills, and food-prep surfaces during the day, we do the deeper end-of-day reset.
Everything is done with low-fragrance, child-safe products. We don't use bleach in playrooms or anywhere children sit on the floor, and all chemicals are kept off-site between visits.
How much does nursery cleaning cost?
Nursery cleaning is charged at £25 an hour, so a daily evening clean of a small setting works out at around £50 to £75 a visit and roughly £250 to £375 a week for five evenings. A childminder setting cleaned twice a week is around £50 to £100 a week, and a half-term or summer deep clean of a two-room nursery runs £250 to £500.
| Setting | Typical schedule | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Registered childminder, home setting | 2 evenings a week, 1 to 2 hours | £50 to £100 a week |
| Small pre-school, 1 to 2 rooms | 5 evenings a week, 2 hours | £250 a week |
| Nursery, 3 to 4 rooms | 5 evenings a week, 2 to 3 hours | £250 to £375 a week |
| Weekly deeper pass (toys, skirting, high-touch) | Add 2 to 3 hours | £50 to £75 a week |
| Holiday or half-term deep clean | 10 to 20 hours | £250 to £500 |
All figures are the standard £25 hourly rate with products, equipment, insurance and travel within Derby included. Hours depend on room count and floor area, so every setting is quoted after a walk-round rather than over the phone.

How we schedule nursery cleans
Most Derby nurseries we support run a daily evening clean of playrooms, toilets, and floors, with a deeper weekly pass on toy shelves, skirting, and high-touch surfaces.
We don't sterilise feeding equipment or handle clinical waste — your staff own anything food, nappy, or first-aid related, and we work around it.
Cleaning always starts after the last pickup, usually between 6pm and 9pm, and we can hold a key or door code so nobody has to stay behind to let us in. Half-term and summer closures are booked in advance for the deeper reset: floors, skirting, walls, storage, kitchens and outdoor play surfaces.
