maybe if you offer to supply the wipes???

i did and they said oh we dont use them we like the old fashioned way of cloth and water.

To be honest i dont think that blue hard tissue and water would get it clean as wipes. i notice it cause it smells too.

I know it may be gross but whenever i change my little one i have to check there is no smell. if so i wipe and wipe again.

I knew he was soiled as as soon as i smelt his bottom it smelt of poo

Btw, my children's nappies were never sent home, always disposed of there. I'm surprised that a nursery hasn't these facilities, the changing/cloakroom area must stink by the end of the day.

it does stink lol

in fact it was stinking this morning even before i got in there as one child had pooed before the door was open to the nursery that smell would have been in there all morning.

When my son was small one of my good friends worked in a nursery and if she changed him she never used wipes just cotton wool and water-out of habit as her nursery didn't. He was just as clean as if I'd used wipes . Is it always the same MOS changing the baby ?

Frankly kitchen roll is too harsh and that combined with poor hygeine would have had me looking for a different nursery

Using cotton wool/cloth and water does work just as well, and can be gentler on the skin than wipes.

Only if you do it properly though!

I would change your son before you leave, show them that he's still dirty despite their attempt and ask why.

our son is 3 and half years and has special needs and attends a special needs nursery. I did offer time and time again wipes and they refuse to use them. We dont have the pleasure of changing nursery as it is the only one in our area that offers what we want. he attends a main stream nursery too a couple of afternoons and they too send the nappies home. The other afternoon the entrance hall to the nursery where all the bags and coats are stank to high heaven of poo it was terrible. all the mums have to smell this when they arrive and i went to get our sons bag and it was his (shock horror)

as our son is older the stench is terrible - and i had to bring it home in the car 6 mile journey with the window open as i couldnt for the life of me find a bin in the street. (now that is another thing was has happened to all the waste paper bins in the street nowadays doesnt seem to be any).

they use that blue roll - i have seen the stuff in public toilets it is harsh and abrasive i know that cause it comes home with the nappy - all the poo in the nappy and all of it on the blue roll the bag is so heavy to lift with all the soiled waste.

We are working on potty training and do hope that he tries to grasp it soon. As he has limited communication and speech it is still somewhat hard for us.

my nursery used water but they had special soft disposable cloths (like wipes but with nothing on them) - they used them to avoid allergies. But definitely not paper towels - yuck so hard and scratchy on soft bums. If they aren't getting him clean then they need to be told - poor mite. Sounds like this and giving them back are cost saving measures- they have to pay for proper clinical waste disposal. I would not be happy at all - if they don't respond to the issue I'd be changing nursery an complaining to ofsted

Just leave the bags of poo where they are, if they hand them to you just drop it on your way out.

May be take a dust bin in for them call it a donation as they are obviously short of money.

The place is not run by that McKeith woman is it?

i think the nappy changes are done by the volunteers as it is a charity run nursery as it is always the young girls who say oh **** done a poo today.

Ok, it sounds like there's some history, then, if you've discussed using wipes before.

In which case I would take it further and be more forceful. Tell them that he is not being changed properly and it is not acceptable.
It is up to them what they use to wipe him, but whatever they use they must do it properly.
Maybe speak to Ofsted if it doesn't get better?
