Case Study - Junior Adventures Group (JAG)
Junior Adventures Group (JAG) operates across 440 Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) sites throughout Australia, providing essential care programs that support children’s learning, development, and wellbeing before and after school. With large numbers of children, educators, and staff moving through facilities daily, maintaining a consistently clean, hygienic, and safe environment is critical. Classrooms, activity spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and high-touch surfaces all require meticulous and frequent cleaning to prevent the spread of germs, ensure compliance with strict childcare regulations, and support a safe environment for learning and play.
Cipher’s Rapid Response Team partnered with JAG to develop a tailored cleaning program across its national network of OSHC facilities, ensuring each site’s operational requirements and safeguarding obligations were met. Our team delivered comprehensive cleaning services focused on high-traffic and high-contact areas, including learning spaces, dining areas, and shared facilities. By combining child-safe cleaning protocols, flexible scheduling, and structured service delivery, we ensured all works were completed outside of program hours to avoid disruption to children’s care activities.
Through this partnership, JAG was able to consistently maintain clean, safe, and compliant environments across all sites, reinforcing their commitment to child wellbeing and quality care delivery. The program also supported operational continuity and reduced hygiene-related risks, ensuring children and educators could use facilities with confidence in a safe and well-maintained environment.

Challenges
JAG operates in highly sensitive environments such as schools and childcare centres, where cleaning is not just about appearance but is essential for protecting children’s health, safety, and overall wellbeing. These environments present unique challenges due to the vulnerability of occupants, frequent surface contact, and the constant movement between indoor and outdoor spaces, all of which increase the risk of contamination and require strict hygiene controls.
A major challenge is maintaining cleanliness in high-traffic and high-touch areas such as play zones, classrooms, kitchens, dining spaces, and activity rooms. These areas are used continuously throughout the day, leading to rapid build-up of dirt, germs, and spills. Surfaces like toys, tables, door handles, and learning equipment require regular disinfection using child-safe cleaning products that are both effective and compliant with safety standards. Kitchens and food preparation areas require additional care to prevent cross-contamination, while flooring must be managed carefully due to frequent spills and heavy foot traffic.
Another key constraint is timing and access. Cleaning must be carried out outside of operational hours—early mornings, evenings, or weekends—to avoid disrupting learning activities and to ensure children are not exposed to cleaning chemicals or wet surfaces. This requires efficient planning, streamlined workflows, and the ability to complete all required tasks within limited time windows without compromising quality.
Compliance is also critical in these environments. JAG must adhere to childcare regulations, infection control guidelines, and workplace health and safety (OHS) requirements. This includes correct chemical handling, use of appropriate cleaning methods, and adherence to documented cleaning procedures. Staff training and consistency are essential to ensure standards are met and maintained, particularly given that these sites are subject to regular inspections and audits.

Our Tailored Solution
Cipher Rapid Response coordinated a multi-team deployment across multiple JAG sites, ensuring each facility received a tailored cleaning program aligned with its specific layout, usage patterns, and operational requirements. Given the variation between classrooms, play areas, kitchens, and shared facilities, service delivery was customised to ensure consistent hygiene outcomes while maintaining operational efficiency across all locations.
The cleaning methodology emphasised high-efficiency, safety-focused, and environmentally responsible practices. This included the use of industry-approved, low-toxicity, and eco-friendly cleaning agents designed for sensitive childcare environments, along with specialised equipment to support rapid turnaround cleaning without compromising quality or safety standards.
In partnership with JAG, a structured commercial cleaning solution was implemented to align with strict hygiene expectations and tightly managed program schedules. A key component of this service was child-safe cleaning protocols, where all personnel were trained in working within childcare settings, including appropriate chemical handling, surface disinfection standards, and contamination control procedures.
Flexible scheduling was essential, with all routine cleaning conducted outside of operational hours to avoid disruption to learning activities. In addition, rapid response capability was maintained for urgent or unexpected cleaning requirements, ensuring site conditions were quickly restored when needed.
Consistent communication with site coordinators enabled real-time issue resolution and ensured alignment across all locations. This was supported by a strong compliance framework, including regular audits, inspections, and quality assurance checks to maintain ISO-certified standards and ensure ongoing service consistency across all JAG facilities.
