Attends nursery comes home with a dirty backside

lisawood78

Sending home hours old waste is very odd and worrying in my opinion. I don't have children but to me that seems extremely odd, surely if there are any toilet issues (runny/blood etc) then the parents can simply be informed?
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Before our son was 3 it was being paid for by our local council as he was in care since he has turned 3 it is paid for by the 15 hours a week a child gets but is charity based.

Well, what they get from the Government for his place should enable them to pay for proper waste disposal. If the staff aren't paid, then what are they spending their income on?

i thought it was the norm to have the waste sent home as i said the other nursery does it too. So in effect if you have 20 children in the class say 10 are not toilet trained you could have 10 nappies hanging around for at least 2 - 3 hours. It does all seem a bit strange to me.

My nursey has approx 40 0.5 to 4 year olds and is open 8 till 6.

It is with some relief that they don't have 60 plus dirty nappies lined up on a shelf ready for collection for up to 10 hours, they would need a fridge to keep them fresh!

And for the £29 a day they provide 4 or 5 12p nappies, they are generous like that.

i can only imagine that they dont have the facilites to get rid of the nappies. and it must be costly to organise. there is a dustbin at the edge of the car park at the nursery i am very tempted to dump them in there next time. it isnt so bad if they are wet but lately they seem to be pooey. In fact last week we had 2 x pooey nappies and the stench was terrible. My hubbie was gagging in the car LOL

I think the sending nappies home is a cost-cutting exercise pure and simple instead of paying for special waste disposal, I would be raising this with H&S/the main funders of the nursery in writing then Ofsted if no improvement.

I have to say, it had never even occurred to me that some nurseries would keep the dirty pooey nappy and give back to you! To me, it's just bizarre! :eek:
Granted I don't have any experience of nurseries, but it's seriously not something I would even have thought about. I think it's shocking!

And not cleaning him up properly? Poor mite! I would definitely change nursery if at all possible.

omg, I've never heard of that! How ridiculous. It was bad enough getting half a packed lunch back.

I'd change nurseries, if they are doing it too cut costs, where else are they scrimping?!

OP explains that her son has special needs- presumably this is why he is still in nappies.

My apologies, never read that far into the thread.

You get the wet ones as well!

What reason do they give for this? Do they give you a colour chart to see how hydrated your boy is?
