I don't understand the "kid daycare logistics". Does your work provide daycare access? Is there a specific location near your work? I'm trying to understand why not switch the daycare closer to your home to avoid this whole office situation. Why would you haul the equipment home every day? Given the policy they want, there are plenty of simplistic solutions. Ask for a filing cabinet on wheels, store your stuff there and roll your gear somewhere that is known for employee storage of cabinets when they're doing hotdesking. Ask for closet storage due to the cost of the equipment.
