👶 Stables Daycare – Kitchen Refurbishment

Building a Safe and Simple Kitchen for Young Children

🏫 Project Overview – Supporting Childcare in Hildenborough

Stables Daycare, near Hildenborough, cares for children aged 3 months to 5 years. However, the kitchen had worn out, so it no longer met modern hygiene or safety needs. Therefore, the team asked Kent Commercial Kitchens to refurbish the space. As a result, the new kitchen now works safely, cleans easily, and handles daily use better. Furthermore, it helps staff deliver meals efficiently.

🛠 The Challenge – Quick Work, High Standards

The project needed to finish fast, so we had to avoid disrupting the daycare. At the same time, we replaced domestic units with strong commercial materials. Because hygiene and safety were critical, we carefully planned every step. In addition, we completed all work in just one week. Therefore, we coordinated closely with the daycare staff to keep the kitchen running throughout the refurbishment.

✨ Our Approach – Clean and Practical Design

Strong, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces

We chose safe and simple finishes for childcare. First, we installed Bioclad UPVC wall cladding, so staff can wipe walls clean and maintain hygiene. Moreover, we added Altro Stronghold 30 flooring, so staff can move safely without slipping. As a result, both safety and hygiene improved.

Bright Lighting and Ceiling

We fitted a suspended ceiling with LED lights, so the kitchen stays bright and easy to maintain. Consequently, staff can work safely and see clearly at all times. Furthermore, the lighting reduces energy use while improving visibility.

🔧 Installation & Equipment

After preparing the structure, we reinstalled the existing oven and dishwasher. At the same time, we added new stainless steel sinks and workbenches. Then, we supplied a new commercial fridge, so staff can store fresh food safely. Therefore, the kitchen now works efficiently, stays clean, and supports daily meal prep. Additionally, the improvements allow staff to serve meals quickly every day.

✅ Outcome – A Safe Kitchen for Children

The new kitchen meets all safety rules, and at the same time, it cleans easily. Because we used commercial materials, the kitchen now supports the busy daycare every day. Furthermore, staff and parents feel secure, while children enjoy a safer environment. As a result, meal prep runs smoothly without delays.

“This project shows that a kitchen for children can be both safe and professional.”
