Cloth Nappies
Shining Nappy People
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the well-being of the children in our care, we are transitioning to using mainly cloth nappies in both of our nurseries.
We are also working on ways to support families to use cloth nappies at home through our community support groups and outreach work.
Non-recylcable nappies
2.5 billion binned annually
90%
end up in landfill
500yrs
to break down
60%+
Plastic
We believe that swapping non-recyclable nappies for resuable alternatives aligns perfectly with our mission to ‘build brighter futures’ and our core values, including
‘sustaining our planet, sustaining our community’.
Why swap to cloth nappies?

A better fit
