Personally, I would take a correctly cleaned room using bleach solution over my kid being exposed to norovirus anyday. 
None of our other kids caught it then, but the baby's mom did at home with her.
When I do a quick spray of the changing table, I don't notice a bleach smell(after it dries). The type of deep disinfection you performed, I probably would - but that's also the type of thing I would get the kids out of the room/area for also. I do think on a daily basis if I were to walk into a day care and smell bleach that strongly I would question why that was being done with the children present. But I'm also with you in the sense that I would much rather they use something proven to kill certain typical day care germs then some of these products that have not been proven. I still cringe over how badly my co-worker was burned by supposedly "safe" cleaner.
