I use a childminder – will they use real nappies, too?
Check before you sign on with a childminder or nursery and enquire whether they will be willing to use them – give them the link to this guide! If they do accept real nappies, make sure you provide them with enough spare nappies, liners and biodegradable nappy bags or a reusable cotton bag to keep soiled nappies in. Worcestershire’s Family Information Service can provide you with a list of local childcare providers that have been asked to supply details of whether they support the use of real nappies. Some nurseries are even part of the Eco-Schools programme which takes into account all aspects of sustainability and the environment.
