No nappy change at nursery

Hi my little boy who is 2.5 years old started nursery today, he did a session 9-3 and when I picked him up he still had the same amount of nappies in the bag he did when he went. His nappy wasn’t very wet when I changed him once we get home but now I’m worrying about tomorrow! It’s only his first day so I’m weary about rocking the apple cart straight away but should I say something? He went for a settling in session 9-2 a few weeks ago and they changed him so it could be a one off but just not sure how to approach it!! Advice welcomed! Thanks!

Hi are you sure when he went last time they didn’t take some nappies out his bag and put them in his box with his name on in the nappy changing area? We used to do this.. take the nappies out the bag and put them in box when they was used we would take more out. If not I would just ask say all his nappies was still in his bag when I took him home how often is he changed are there certain times so you know how many to put in? We was asked questions like that all the time xx

Do they not provide nappies at nursery? It’s all included where we are

If you’re not happy I would say something, you can just word it in a way where you’re asking more than demanding. You are paying them afterall. Or you could leave it another few days and see what happens. Maybe they didn’t change him as his nappy wasn’t very wet?

At ours each child takes in a big bag of nappies and wipes and they’ll use that, they forgot to mention to me so on his first day they just used someone else’s, that’s probably what’s happened!

Thanks everyone! Yeah I’m just nervous to make a fuss before we’ve even got started! He’s only doing 2 days a week to start with so I will see what happens tomorrow and if it’s the same then maybe I’ll say something. They are all lovely there and they’ve just got an outstanding ofsted report so I’m hoping it’s just a one off or they used a different nappy, I should have paid more attention to the one I took off! Like I say it was barely wet so he didn’t come home sore or drenched but i still wouldn’t want him in the same nappy for that long! Xxx

I work in a nursery and if a child has nappies in their bag we’ll take them out but leave one in their bag just incase. Once the nappies are taken out we’ll pop them in a draw with the child’s name on to use during their stay at nursery x

They might have had extra diapers. If you're really that worried about it then just say something like "hey, do you have extra diapers for my kid" since my son started in the 2yo class I haven't had to bring in diapers because they have extra. Thankfully, because diapers are expensive

I'd say if the nappy was dry then it had been changed at somepoint.

Our nursery tells us at pickup how many wet or soiled nappies he's had in the day? Just ask, i would imagine they have used one from nursery.

Ask them what you need. My LG is changed every 2 hours, sooner if she’s had a poop

My nursery provides nappies so maybe they used their own?

Just ask what time he last had his nappy done so you know when to change it x

I put a mark on the nappy I sent him in today so I could see if it was the same one and I’ve picked him up and it’s still the same one on 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s not soaking wet but it’s still wet.

Yikes, from 9 - 3? I would definitely be asking how often they change nappies. Do you supply them? Have they asked you to take some in?

Yeah they are in his bag along with his lunch and change of clothes, I thought maybe they used their own and that’s why I had the same amount but it’s definitely the same one x

You should speak to them about it

Definitely speak to them I’d also worry that his nappy is not that wet if it’s not been changed for all that time. Are they not giving him enough to drink

Yeah this is the route I’m going to go down to start the conversation I’ll say can you encourage him to drink more as I’ve noticed his nappy’s aren’t very wet and sometimes he forgets to drink his water and then it should open the conversation
