Hi, I once worked within a childcare centre that was re-evalating their nappy policy.

We used to provide the cloth nappies that were used at the centre through a professional company. Parents were required to bring their own plastics and change their bub into a centre nappy on arrival, and also provide a home nappy or two for the end of the day.

Parents that chose to have their child in disposable nappies were fine to do so, but as a nappy service was provided, used nappies were sent home with the parent each day.

The centre had looked into scrapping the nappy service, but the idea of having ALL the children's used nappies stored within the bathroom area posed to be a stinky idea, as well as a health hazard. As an alternative, management looked into providing a nappy disposal service, but this proved to be more costly than providing the cloth nappies.

Food for thought.
