The Nappy Bank gives parents a chance to try cloth nappies before they buy anything. Each kit contains a variety of nappy types and brands giving you a chance to see what you prefer and what works for you and has enough nappies and accessories for you to switch to cloth full time for the period of the loan. The bank is run by volunteers who have all used cloth with their children and are on hand to answer all your questions and talk you through the kit before you take it home.
All profits go back in the scheme, allowing it to grow to help more local parents.
How the Nappy Bank works
- The Nappy Bank is operated by the Nottingham Branch of the NCT but there’s no need to be a member to use it.
- Each kit contains at least 20 nappies plus nappy bucket and all the other bits and bobs you might need to use cloth nappies full time.
- A washable wipes kit is also available for an extra £2.50. Borrowing the kit costs £20 for a two week loan.
Please email our volunteers at nottinghamnappybank@gmail.com for more information or to book a kit. Full terms and conditions may also be downloaded here.
