I think from a community services POV pooey nappies in bags pose more of a health risk than pooey nappies in a bin that is removed from the centre several times a day. The staff would have to rinse solids, it couldn't be left lying around in bags. Imagine if a child got into the bag. I know that when my children soil a nappy it's fine sealed in a bag until we get home but multiply that by 30. The average centre is just not geared up for that... and having changed many nappies in a child care environment I know that it has to be done fast because there are always time pressures... It was hard enough finding time to empty the bins let alone rinse each nappy as well which, if pooey can add a few minutes to each change. A good centre would have a laundry service like a hospital or at least more staff to help. It depends how many children are in cloth but I know that I have to change my clothies more frequently than sposies... not always the case but if parents supply their own clothies not all would supply super absorbant Bum Genius (my most absorbant).

In an ideal world all centres would accomodate cloth... I agree, make your needs known so things can change for the better.
