What’s on in Waltham Forest

London Borough of Waltham Forest has joined the Real Nappies for London voucher scheme to offer parents an incentive to use real nappies.  Parents living in Waltham Forest with a baby under 18 months can claim a free £54.15 voucher towards the initial cost.  You can use the voucher to buy nappies from participating businesses across London, exchange it for a trial pack, or use it for a Nappy Ever After trial laundry service.

Upcoming Nappy Events

You can attend events happening in other boroughs too!

Local Real Nappy Advisors

Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library

Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library exists to help parents and parents-to-be navigate through, what can feel like, the bewildering world of cloth nappies. They hold monthly, free demo sessions where you can look at and talk with them and other parents about the different types of nappies, how they work and how to get started using them.

If you would like to try some nappies out before buying, they have trial kits and individual nappies available to loan. Their friendly and supportive chat group, Waltham Forest Cloth Bums, is the place to buy, sell or swap nappies with other local parents, seek advice and keep up-to-date with events and discount codes. Do get in touch with them via the Facebook library page or email – wfnappies@gmail.com
