Nursery sending home dirty nappies ?

[user1470064958]

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?

I'm heaving at the notion of having to rummage through bags of other people's shitty nappies to find your own child's. That's got to be a health hazard? boak

That is utterly unhygienic. I can't imagine it meets with H&S guidelines. Imagine a poo filled nappy in a bag, on a peg in the corridor for 7 hours? Imagine two dozen of them?

If a nursery can't afford to dispose of their waste they shouldn't be in business. They are charged for all waste collection as a business. What next? Your child's leftovers in a bag, all the snotty hankies they used? The dozen cloths they used to clear up their puke?

Our (expensive private) nursery sends shitty nappies home. Really unimpressed. To be fair, they are bagged up and don't stink, bit it's still gross to fish them out and toss them in the bin at the end of the day. Yuck.

That's gross. Even in a nappy sack a soiled nappy will eventually smell. My nursery have always disposed of them.

I run playgroups (although the facility is mine full time).

I ask all mums to take their nappies home otherwise my bin would stink.

And yes, we put no nappies signs on bins immediately outside.

I see no issue with it. It's your kids poo, you deal with it! (All of my kids wore cloth nappies, so all poop went down the toilet. I find disposable nappies disgusting).

The practice of doing this pre dates me but I understand that a senior member of staff went on a health and safety course and was told that all used nappies had to be sent home.

I'd never come across it before but my colleagues are shocked my previous setting just bagged and binned them

Disgusting. If they can't afford to dispose of them at nursery then they should close.

Interestingly when I worked in a nursing home for the elderly we didn't bin any pads etc at all. Everything had to go into a macerator (sp?) And we did have a specialist rubbish service.

I dont know why people think this is disgusting...it's no different from sending a cloth nappy home

Totally wierd. I don't know anywhere like that.
