Who will be changing my baby's nappies and what is the process?

Nappy changing is carried out by trained teaching staff who follow established hygiene and care procedures. Nappy changes are an important part of daily care and should be carried out in a way that keeps children clean, comfortable and treated with dignity.

Good nappy changing practices involve maintaining hygiene, supporting children's wellbeing and creating a positive care experience. Even before children are verbal, respectful communication during nappy changes helps them feel safe and understand what is happening.

At BestStart, nappy changing is carried out by centre teaching staff who follow established procedures. Teachers explain what they are doing, support each child's privacy and comfort and follow strict hygiene practices throughout the process. All nappy changes are recorded and families are welcome to access this information as part of their child's daily care record.
