Childcare Centre Bathrooms

When you’re renovating a childcare centre bathroom you need to take into account one main thing – the children. You want a bathroom that’s accessible to children of all ages and toileting abilities, and you want to make sure it can be cleaned fast and easily – accidents certainly happen with toilet training toddlers. Things you may consider include small toilets that are specially designed for children, tile or vinyl walls and floors that can be easily cleaned, and you’ll want plenty of hand basins. You should also consider a change table section, and plenty of storage space that you can lock to keep little hands out. Finally, you want floors that are non-slip to keep excited little ones safe.

There’s no sure answer to this but it’s certainly a surety that a renovated, newer looking bathroom is certainly more eye-catching than an old, worn out one. A newly renovated bathroom will help you bring in more new families to the centre and encourage others to stay, knowing you take care of the centre. Essentially, the more children staying at the preschool for longer term, the higher its value. Not only that, but if you’re planning on selling, bathroom renovations are a great return on investment, with the ROI of a bathroom renovation said to be up to 70%. Incorporating systems that are designed to last long-term will increase this ROI too.

For any commercial property, including childcare centres, you will need council approval and permits to commence work. This is simply because you need to ensure that all work is conducted safely, according to code, and that it meets all legal requirements for a commercial / educational facility. If you want to find out more about the permits you’ll require, get in touch with Crystal Bathrooms today to discuss. We can help with preschool bathroom renovations, special schools, primary and secondary schools, and even universities and TAFEs. We understand the laws and requirements for onsite work and we’re experienced in commercial bathroom renovations.

Before you do anything, have a chat with Crystal Bathrooms to get an indication of cost, permits and so on. From there, you can start planning what you want for the renovation. Start with your budget. Then think about the colour scheme you want to have, whether you need new fixtures and fittings, how much storage space you need. We’ll take a look at the plumbing and electricals to see if there is any major work required there, and we’ll look into the permits you need before commencing work. We can also give you advice and tips on the design and layout, so that there is a detailed, set plan in place that you’re happy with.
