If the staff are being stretched for time already then I can understand them not doing it. Child care is already so underpaid and overworked that I'd onlybe cleaning the floors if I had the time allocated. That said, there is usually some time for someone to clean the floors after lunch and most children are resting. I agree that management could come in and help out to get the floors done. I hope they get the cleaners sorted out soon!

Usually when the children are outside one is inside doing the cleaning.
They must have staff rostered to do this though. For a centre that usually has a cleaner they probably have minimal staff working who have to all go outside to maintain supervision ratios of the children.
