Hi Everyone,
Im strggling with parents, 2 in particular that purchase cheap nappies and leave the night nappy on until they drop the kids in the morning brfore 8am.
The children are around 18 months, and they will complain if the child starts getting a bit red, but the rash starts over the weekend and gets better during the week?
How do I tell them this is where it all starts going wrong without offending them. I have to just be direct right?

I care for under 24 months only... I have it in my policies that all children must arrive freshly dressed for the day, including a clean diaper: I have a few babes that will poop on the drive here & parents will change a diaper at drop-off with no questions asked. They also know that child will go home in a fresh diaper too.Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow, have one of the child's diapers ready at the door. When they hand the baby over, feel to see if they need to be changed. Hand the baby back and give them the diaper and tell them wipes are on the changing table.
You should only have to do that once.

Im really going to amend my contract and add it in. Our parents have to leave for work very early in the mornings. Grade School starts at around 730, so a 6am drop is an everyday occurrence. (Ive even dressed my kids at night in play clothes for the morning. (I have 4 kids and 6m is early for me) but i mean I wake up and change nappies, i never keep only one night nappy on, and then still drove to school with ut. Its crazy.Tomorrow, have one of the child's diapers ready at the door. When they hand the baby over, feel to see if they need to be changed.

ALL parents have the same 24 hours in a day.
Before opening my own child care I left for work by 5:00 a.m. and still had both my children (under age 3) up out of bed, fully dressed and fed before dropping them off at daycare.
Parents that work early simply need to adjust their day to reflect their work hours. Their children's needs should be their priority and shouldn't be neglected simply because it's early in the morning.
I would refuse to accept any child into care that was not in a fresh diaper.... checking upon arrival if necessary.

Hi, Yeah I am implementing checks in the mornings. I'm going to try not be too phased about the parents' embarrassment. At the end of the day, the little one needs to be clean and that's that.

Have you addressed the parents directly about it? I’d simply tell them, “Dcb needs to be changed in the morning before heading my way.”
I know it may feel awkward to say it, but they already know they should be doing it. It’s just basic care. How do they feel ok leaving the child in an overnight diaper? I just don’t get it.
