Nursery sending home dirty nappies ?

Dd has started nursery recently it's a lovely place and she's been settling in well.

Really confused today though her dirty nappies were in nappy sacks in her nursery bag? (the bag with her spare clothes etc)

Is this a common practice? It seems really bizarre to me?

It's probably just a mistake, the person changing her probably put it by mistake whilst distracted trying to heard toddlers.

No, not common practise.

maras2 · 21/09/2017 20:06

Depends.
Disposable or t'other type?

Nousernameforme · 21/09/2017 20:06

Its standard in my experience. You can understand otherwise there would be loads of nappies for them to dispose of daily

Not normal for us. Our nursery just bag them up and put in wheelie bin.

My DC has just started pre school and they send dirty nappies home because it is in a village hall and they don't have the proper waste bins. In a purpose built nursery I wouldn't expect it though.

Some councils are charging extortionate amounts to nursery and childminding provisions to dispose of soiled nappies so many are having to send them home unfortunately.

Not normal in my experience. I'd not be remotely impressed Confused

WhirlingTurkey · 21/09/2017 20:09

Odd. We use a childminder and I have never had dirty nappies sent home.

It's probably a mistake. I'm assuming this isn't the first time she's done a poo there and it's the first time they've sent it home.

YouCantArgueWithStupid · 21/09/2017 20:18

Maybe as a business they don't have the correct bins/contract to dispose of nappies?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/09/2017 20:21

Our old nursery started doing it when the fees for disposal became extortionate. Not ideal but a minor issue if it is otherwise a good nursery.

Seems strange. I would of thought you would of been told about this if it was the done thing for them, or at least have it in a leaflet or something when you enrolled.

Maybe ask them the next time?

They probably want to reduce their waste as it will be a monsterous cost. If they give it to you, it's free for everyone. I wouldn't mind as long as it's properly bagged.

WanderingTrolley1 · 21/09/2017 20:34

That's foul and not normal, in my experience.

ParsnipLeekAndLemonSoup · 21/09/2017 20:35

That's completely weird, definitely not normal.

Shadow666 · 21/09/2017 20:35

It was like this at my daughter's nursery. It didn't bother me. I just put them in the bin at home.

SellFridges · 21/09/2017 20:40

They send the dirty nappies home?! And this is common?! How strange.

Ours sends them home, but it's a preschool in a church hall with no disposal facilities and we were made aware it was the practice before DD started.

astonvanilla · 21/09/2017 20:50

Preschool we use send them home too as they get charged a lot to have 'the correct bin' Confused

MsPassepartout · 21/09/2017 20:51

Our nursery disposed of the dirty nappies themselves.

That's not normal. I wouldn't be happy with that.

WhyNotDuckie · 21/09/2017 20:57

At my son's nursery, they did it so that parents would know how many dirty nappies their child had had that day.

PurpleCrazyHorse · 21/09/2017 20:59

Our nursery disposes of them (thankfully!)
