Did you take cloth nappies to the nursery?

If so, can you help me figur out how to do it?
We use cloths at home. Tomy surprise his nursery is OK with cloths, but now I'm not sure how to do it...
If I leave a pile there, I won't have enough at home... Did you bring nappies in everyday?

TIA!

i would take nappies in every day.... the nursert aren't going to wash them so just take the dirty ones home at the end of the day and take fresh ones in the next morning

yes, sent in a bag with three Tots and three wraps, along with a wet nappy bag and took them all home that evening. Usually there was at least one clean nappy left. Occasionally they would put a dirty nappy through the washing machine for me as well . Never had any problems at all.

The nursery did include disposable nappies in their charge, though, and I never got a refund, but figured that it wasn't worth making a fuss about.

we take in a bag with 3 nappies and a couple of wraps, and leave a couple of disposables there for emergencies too. they put the dirty ones in bags and we take them home at night.

quite easy really. good luck.

Thanks for the comments!
You see, I am the most disorganized person in the world...
I am foreseeing finding dirty nappies in the car 3 days old, and constantly forgetting to bring new ones in!
I will definetely leave a stack of disposables for emergencies, good idea!
Did anyone found a good nappy sac? the nursery will put each nappy in a separate plastic bag otherwise. That seems wasteful and a pain to put in the wash...

I have always used childminders, but took all 3 in washables.
Would send in 4-5 nappies each day with spare clothes, pick up plassy bag full of wet (ie soaked) nappies at end of day. Some of my c/ms would wash them out for me actually tho I never asked them to.
No problemo really! (though now I think about it in detail I am very glad ds2 is dry and clean!!)

hi Lua

DP is disorganised, he quite often leaves dirty nappies at nursery or in the car. our nursery is quite relaxed, if they run out of our washables they'll put dd in their own disposables, which they don't officially provide.

if you have lots of washables you could take in extra in case you sometimes forget.

ours use a separate nappy sack for each dirty nappy. i don't like it but haven't pushed them to use the plastic bags I provide (they use those as well). i think the use of nappy sacks is ingrained in many people they can't imagine not tying up every nappy in a separate brand new peach perfumed bag.

my dd goes to nursery two days a week and i use terries with motherease wraps. i take in 7 ready folded nappies and one spare wrap (she of course has one nappy on!) i've provided an old waterproof swimming bag for them to put the dirty nappies in and i take them all home at the end of the second day. it works well. they tend to rinse out the pooh nappies for me although i haven't asked them to.
