Rushing around in the morning and smelled a suspicious whiff. Nursery about ten minutes away.

Is it reasonable just to let her be changed there? Or would you have made yourself a bit later and changed her?

I always change her, I’d never dream of dropping her off with a dirty nappy.

Last week was literally about to step out the door with the pram to walk to nursery and realised she’d done a poo in the 30 seconds she’d been in the pram. She was straight out and quick change by the back door, back in pram and off to nursery.

Literally took seconds.

Imagine the uproar if a nursery said “we didn’t change them because we knew you would be arriving soon”

Poo on your watch you sort!

You had time to type on here yet not change a nappy? Come on op that’s borderline neglectful.

No change your child, trust me I did nursery years ago before becoming a nanny and we used to heavily judge any parent who left a child in a festering nappy for us to change. Would you want to sit in a car or pushchair in a full smelly nappy?

It's awful that you need to ask.

It takes 2 mins, not nice to have her in that nappy until you get to nursery.

Change before you go

You change her before you leave.

Would you like to sit in your poo for 10 minutes! Change them and be late

Definitely changed her, it takes 2 minutes.
I'm guessing to make the 10 minute journey she'd be either sat in a car seat or pushchair, can't imagine that would be very pleasant.
