So my 1yo comes home pretty much every day from nursery in different clothes than what I put on him the morning. He plays outside and gets dirty/wet and changed. And that's ok and normal. But then I come to wash the laundry and his trousers and socks are soaked in water and mud and actually on his baby grow, which is originally white, is all brown/grey on the bum from the water/mud. I don't know what he's doing, sitting in a puddle to get that wet??? I don't care about the washing, at all, but I do worry how long does he sit in this wet drenched muddy clothes, in the outside cold, before he gets changed in clean dry ones?
What are your experiences? Is this level of wet/dirty on a daily basis normal? Should I be asking nursery about it or not worth it? We love the nursery and they are great so don't want to raise an issue if this is actually normal?
Thanks!!

Wet dirty clothes from playing in the garden

If you're happy with the nursery I wouldn't worry about it. They change him so it means they notice and make sure he's in dry, clean clothes. And he's getting to explore the outdoors and they're not too prissy about them staying clean and tidy, both of which are good things 
Pressed post too soon -meant to add that both of mine frequently came home in spare clothes with clean faces and hands, having got their clothes absolutely filthy or soaking. But they were very happy and had clearly been cleaned up. DD goes on 'bear hunts' and such all the time, which she loves and I think the muckiness is part and parcel of that.
It's worse when they start school / they get filthy and nobody tidies them up so they look like urchins come 3pm
Sounds like a great nursery I'd worry if a child came home clean and dry every day
