Primary school asking parents to not change Nappies in the toilet

Why can’t you bag the nappy then dispose of it in the correct bin after you have handed over to his 1:1 (or take it home).

Have you considered contacting the school in response to this requesting a proper nappy bin. Or as it's coming up to the end of term take the bag home with you?

What would you do if the nearest toilet didn't have a nappy bin?

So you put a nappy in a sanitary bin?
Am I reading that correctly?

I'd just go into reception and say I'm SO sorry I think that was me, I really didn't mean to cause an issue for you through the day. Due to x issues with using the other toilets could we possibly continue to use the same toilet, but I'll bring a bag to take home any nappies with me?

It's a sanitary bin for period waste, not 5 year olds crap.

Those bins are dealt with usually by an external company and placing inappropriate waste in them could result in them not being emptied. Or it not being usable for it's purpose. And obviously they've told people it's stinking out reception.

You should take his dirty nappy away if he soils before he's in the charge of the school. When you're with him his waste is your problem.

Just take the waste with you?
This is pretty standard practice in areas without a nappy bin eg lots of toddler groups ask that you take dirty nappies with you to dispose at home.

Alternatively use the facilities provided. I'm not really sure what the issue is, presumably you'd be escorting him there?

They do provide nappy bins. Just not in that toilet.

Utterly ridiculous to put a nappy in a sanitary bin.

If air fresheners remove the smell of crap so well, there's nothing stopping you popping one in a carrier bag with the soiled nappy, and disposing of it at home 🤷‍♂️

It's Thursday today, when does your school break up for the Summer holidays ?

There cannot be many days left - 1, 2 3 or 4

not too hard then to take your nappy home with you.

I can’t get my head around putting a nappy in a sanitary bin. It’s beyond ridiculous.

Double bag the nappy and take it home it in an outside bin?

How on earth do you fit a nappy full of poo into a sanibin? You must have to use some serious muscle to do so. Surely any sensible person would realise that is not what they are for?
School are perfectly reasonable in their request.

In my DDs school the sanpro bins are emptied monthly. Can you imagine the smell from a nappy in this heat after for weeks?

I think a sanitary bin will fill up quickly with nappies .Normal cleaners aren’t expected to empty them . They are normally swapped out on a schedule every two or four weeks for example. Even if it’s just a couple of people using them for nappies I’d expect it to be getting pretty whiffy in this heat.

Yabu. You should’ve taken it with you or requested to use the toilet with proper changing facilities.

An accessible toilet should have the correct facilities including disposing of nappies for disabled children.

They also could've just had a quick word with you at pick up/drop off where you could've discussed it. Sending out an email seems a bit OTT.

You can literally buy nappy disposal bags for travelling. Get some.

How is he changed during the day if he can't access the toilets with changing facilities?

You are being unreasonable.
The school are being entirely reasonable.

The school have offered access to a toilet which has the right facilities. If you don't want to use the toilet with the right facilities then you need to make sure you take the waste away with you.

You sound incredibly entitled just dumping a literal bag of shit in a normal bin, especially during this hot weather. You clearly have no respect for others using that space.

I think she doesn’t want to make him wait and do more walking about with poo in his nappy which is fair.

The email sounds perfectly reasonable!
Sani bins aren’t emptied daily!!! A special contractor service has to come out and empty them usually every few weeks or even every few months depending on the number of staff! So are school supposed to put up with your child’s dirty nappy rotting and stinking out the staff toilets for weeks on end??!! FFS!!!!

Sounds frustrating and I understand your reasons for not wanting to go the other toilet BUT you need to bag the nappy and take it home. We often go to baby groups and have to do this - the toilets have signs asking people to not use the sanitary bins for nappies.

Sanitary bins are emptied by specialist contractors and definitely not daily, or possibly even weekly. So using them for nappies really isn’t appropriate.

Surely though, you can tip all of the poo into the loo and flush it, so taking the nappy with you to dispose of it somewhere else isn’t such a big deal. If you’re in a toilet cubicle there’s never any reason to actually wrap the poo up and take it with you!!

Schools are overflowing with spare cash to provide all those things to satisfy your niche need OP. Go complain Hun, ofstead and guvnors first.
