Using Cloth Nappies at Nursery: A Parent's Guide

Writer: Chloe BellChloe Bell

Thinking about using cloth nappies at nursery? You're making a fantastic choice for both your little one and the environment! Let's talk about making this transition smooth and successful.


Did You Know?

Using cloth nappies at nursery can save around £300 per child in disposable costs during their nursery years! Plus, you're helping reduce approximately 912 disposable nappies from landfill per child per year at nursery.


Tips for Success:


1. Communication is Key

- Talk to your nursery early about your plans

- Show them how simple modern cloth nappies are to use

- Explain the environmental and cost benefits


2. Make it Easy for Staff

- Pre-stuff your nappies if using pocket nappies

- Use a simple wet bag system

- Label everything clearly

- Pack nappies that are easy to use (just like disposables!)


3. What to Pack Daily

- 4-5 clean nappies

- 2 wet bags (one for clean, one for dirty)

- Simple instructions card

- Cloth-friendly wipes (if using)


Common Nursery Questions:

• Storage? Wet bags take up minimal space

• Smells? Modern wet bags contain all odours

• Complexity? Today's cloth nappies are as easy as disposables

• Time? Changes take the same time as disposables
