Both daycares my children have gone to did cloth for me.
The home daycare said it was no big deal, she had always wanted to learn to use cloth and was very accommodating.

There was a couple times my kid did awful poops and she put the dirties on the porch to keep the smell out of her house.

When my second son was born, my kids were in a center. I worked with them for a few months so they could check with licensing and make sure they were within regulations to use cloth. They were very accommodating. The staff always told me it was no big deal for them to use the cloth, but licensing had them keep the diapers outside (they have a bin for soiled clothes that they keep outside the facility so it is secured away from the children) --so that's where our dirty diapers lived. Someone would have to leave the room to put the diaper in the wet bag after every change. So that part seemed like kind of a pain, to me. AND WOW, summer months were brutal if he pooped early and it sat outside in the heat all day.

That said, I used "all in one" diapers in daycare, so they were all one piece and ready to put on. I stocked his cubby with 6 diapers every day and a wetbag. I took the dirties home at the end of the day and replaced them with clean diapers. So literally the only thing different from the other kids is that his dirties go in a wet bag instead of the diaper genie/landfill.
