nursery sending back clothes like this?

[MrsMotherHen]

My daughter goes to nursery shes just turned one so needs feeding still unless it's finger food.

She always comes back with her clothes in a bag absolutely rotten now am all for kids getting messy and having fun. Although this is food mess were she should have had a bib on, its always the same and always something near impossible to get out! Thank god for vanish gold!

Now at almost £40 a day I shouldn't have to provide a bib surely they have never mentioned bringing one?

I have been sending her in in and 2nd hand stuff but even after one wear most of the time its wrecked its just so wasteful to bin clothes shes not had much wear out off.

This was todays clothes....how an earth has she got orange food stains on her knees! The paint I don't mind that's normal nursery mess but the food stains are starting to annoy me?

Should I bring it up next session? Is this normal? My son came home immaculate at this age but it was a different nursery.
AIBU??

The stains wernt coming out very well before the vanish with biological powder on a hot wash.

1. Pfb

2.How many in nursery room and realistially what level of feeding do you expect her to receive? Ie expectation vs reality

Even with bibs we still have clothes coming home worse than that! I wash them and get the stains out as best I can but I don't throw them away. She just wears them just for nursery. Nursery are never going to keep them immaculately clean.

Our childcare specifically says don't send them in nice clothes.

At one she should be learning to feed herself. Not only are they probably encouraging this but depending on how many in her room I imagine they don't have time, especially if they have younger babies who actually need feeding. If it's that big a deal buy a bib or cheap clothes. I am always sending my DD to nursery in stained clothes because if it's not food it's paint or glue or grass or mud etc!

It's annoying but you're overreacting a bit. I can't remember sending a bib in for my children and I can imagine it's one more thing for staff to remember / not lose if parents don't label etc. My ten year old still comes home with clothes like that so get used to it!

I keep stained clothes especially for nursery to be honest.

My son is in pre school attached to his new primary. They wear the uniform and honest to god he has been through 4 jumpers this year with the amount of crap that gets on them.

oh come on!!!

PFB she is my second and quite honestly does get filthy even at home of course shes allowed to explore food with her hands she was eating beans out the bowl yesterday with her hands. I didn't bat an eyelid we use a bib.

I didn't think this was the norm for nursery hence the AIBU before i make a dick of myself bringing it up with them like i said my first came back immaculate again from a different nursery though.

You think those stains are that terrible!? That was an average stain for my daughter! I also hate sending my child to preschool in stained clothes but, a year in, I’ve got over it. They know her clothes are clean. It really doesn’t matter.

I buy a job lot of clothes in primark or second hand for Nursery and don't send DD I'm wearing anything nice. She's always covered and often has a whole change of clothes. She did gardening the other day - you should have seen the state of her. BUT she has a great time so I don't care. Just wash on the 'baby clothes' wash setting and she can have as much fun and sensory experiences as possible!

Most nurseries I have worked in have had those pelican type bibs. These do bugger all to stop a one year old with fingers in a bowl of soup.

Buy dark clothes. Stuff that doesn't show stains as badly.

And ours is £60 a day!

If you are good at stain removal you will have half a chance at keeping polo shirts white. I don't tend to bother, but I do buy them in packs of 5, so that we have one for each day if necessary. If it gets stained, then she still wears it, if it is not too bad.

After replacing umpteen lost PE kits and trainers etc, I can't replace uniform every time it gets a mark on it.

I understand that some people have higher standards than me though .

Although tomorrow is Class Photo day, so DD needs to wear her bestest stained the least uniform

The little children wore bibs at dds nursery. I sent dd with a bib when they stopped at about 2 because she was extremely fussy about not getting dirty and I didn’t want staff wasting time changing her and more washing. Dirty and stained clothes are only to be expected. I had some old ones for nursery. Please don’t give your dd a complex about it. I was chuffed when my dd occasionally plastered herself in paint or got dirty in puddles.

How did I forget about the "baby" wash on my machine! thanks for that.

!!!! Oh OP! That's why you send them to nursery in their old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty!

Those couple of stains are nothing!! I have seen a lot worse on mine!! :)

My 6 yr old still comes home from school sometimes with worse marks on him than in your pics!

The worse is yet to come OP! Enjoy the ride!!

I only noticed it when she was 1 so six months ago! Buy a massive tub of pink vanish too.

DD managed to get red paint all the way through her top the other day - I was just relieved she wasn't bleeding!

That's nothing like I was expecting to see! Really not worth worrying about imo

Perhaps you thought your son came back cleaner because boys clothes at that age tend to be more suitable for general toddlerness than girls clothes, which are increasingly hard to buy in darker colours, especially at this time of year.

I think you should send a bib. My guess is as you didn't they assumed you didn't use one

blimey, those are pretty minimal stains! just wash it for goodness sake. It doesn't matter if nursery clothes have a few stains on them anyway.
I think if you want her to wear a bib, ask them if you need to send one in.

WAit till she comes home covered in pen, clothes, arms, face...! now that's fun to wash off!

FFS really?

She's at nursery, I'm not sure what you expect.

Hang them in the sun, the only thing it wont get out is banana and avocado.

I don’t think that is bad staining at all for a day at Nursery. My DD comes home a lot worse, I buy all Nursery clothes from Asda and keep them as basic and cheap as possible. It’s a sign of a fun day in my opinion!
