Years in early years education
Jason spent two decades inside ECEC — educator at Milton Rd Children's Centre and as a Business Development manager for 50 OSHC services across QLD school sites.
Clean Cut Properties prides itself on 20+ years inside the early years sector. Blue Cards on every crew. Child-safe plant knowledge. ECEC framework fluency. The realities of operating around children's routines.
Childcare isn't acreage with smaller fences. We understand the legislation and the framework. The plants matter. The chemicals matter. Who's on site matters. Here's why centre directors trust us with their outdoor spaces.

Familiar with ECEC, ACECQA and QLD Department of Education standards. The 7 Quality Areas, "My Time Our Place" OSHC framework and the Early Years Learning Framework.
We know which plants belong in a centre and which don't. We'll flag risks during the walkthrough — no nasty surprises after install.
Every staff member is Blue Card certified. We adhere to safeguarding policies, sign in correctly, and respect your routines.
Where chemicals are appropriate, they're applied by licensed operators with full SDS records — and timed around your closure days, not playtime.
We currently service 10 centres and have capacity to take on additional services within your group.
You don't have time to chase certificates between centres. We supply everything up-front and keep it current.
We handle every aspect of a centre's outdoor environment — no need to coordinate three trades.
We meet with your director or area manager, walk the outdoor space and listen to what's been working — and what hasn't.
Itemised quote with a schedule built around your closure days, rest periods, and the rhythm of your week.
Done by qualified horticulturists — Blue Card cleared, sign-in compliant, hi-vis the whole crew. Polite around children and families.
Heads-up before we arrive, quick summary after. SDS records for any chemicals applied.
The guys at Clean Cut Properties did an amazing job on my yard. They responded to my enquiry quickly, were reliable and professional, and truly went above and beyond with their work. I will definitely be using them in future. Highly recommend!
We plan the schedule with the director — typically early morning before drop-off, during indoor learning blocks, or on closure days. Noisy work (mowers, blowers, chainsaws) is timed away from rest periods. For multi-site operators we'll coordinate a calendar across all centres.
Yes — we provide them up-front, before the first visit. Certificate of Currency for Public Liability, Work Cover and Blue Card numbers are sent with the quote or directly to your area manager. Happy to be added to your contractor compliance system.
We work from a list of child-safe species — avoiding spiky, toxic, allergenic, brittle, or invasive plants. We can audit your existing plantings during the walkthrough and flag anything risky. For new plant-ups we suggest species suited to your shade, soil, and educational program (sensory, edible, native habitat, etc.).
Spraying is done on closure days or weekends wherever possible. Where it must happen during operating hours, we treat zones cleared of children, post signage, log products applied, and provide SDS records. All applications are by commercially licensed operators.
Yes — both. We can supply and install new sand or soft-fall mulch, rake/level existing sandpits, and remove old material. Often included in regular maintenance visits for centres on a schedule.
Yes. We currently service 10 childcare centres and have capacity to add more. For multi-site groups we'll set up one schedule, one invoice cycle, and one point of contact across all locations.
Included in scope. Pre-photo-day resets, end-of-term deep cleans, and ongoing maintenance.
We'll meet with your director or area manager, walk the outdoor space, ID anything that needs immediate attention, and send a clear written quote within 48 hours.
