Banbury Nappy Bank

Apologies to everyone who is waiting to hear back from me, below is the reason why I’m a bit behind on message answering!
I’m planning to have contacted everyone who is waiting by the end of next week - thanks for your patience!

I realise I’m a few days late with this (pretty typical for me!) but a little reminder for you all….

How is everyone's summer going? Anyone gone away on holiday already? Who is planning to go away in the next few weeks?

Before you go... why not give your washing machine its monthly maintenance clean, ready for all the holiday washing on your return!

💧Wipe down the seals and the door
💧 Clean the filter and the drawer
💧 Run a cleaning cycle or 90 degree wash (no powder and an empty drum)

It really is that simple!

Banbury Nappy Bank updated their info in the about section.

Hi all,

Sorry to have been quiet for so long - lots has happened here in the past year or so, as I’m sure is the case for all of you too?! I hope everyone has kept well.
I am now in a position to start loaning Free Trial Kits again and have contacted everyone on my waiting list to check that you are still interested. If I have missed you, please shout!
Thank you all for your patience and I look forward to ‘seeing’ everyone again, although it will be in a slightly different way now of course!

Zoe & Lauren

Afternoon everyone with the current situation Zoe has been taking a well earned break to spend the time needed with her family while we havent been able to carry out trials.
I have spent this morning replying to messages on here but please if I have missed you then please shout.
I know Zoe has had messages on her phone to deal with but please feel free to contact via the page here and if I can help I will.

Hope everyone is staying safe.
Thank you for your patience

HOLIDAY WARNING 🍾!!!

Letting you all know I’m planning to take a little break for some family time, from the end of next week (from Friday 16th August) until the boys are back to school at the beginning of September. Appointments will be available from Thursday 5th September.

Have a great Summer Hols everyone! ☀️

Great work Tots Bots 👏❤️

Putting a new spin on the bottle, you can now reduce, reuse AND recycle with TotsBots. We've gone full-throttle on the battle with bottle waste, now our waterproof fabric will be made from super soft recycled polyester yarn, repurposing plastic waste that was destined for landfill. We're the first reusable nappy company in the world to do this too and hope that this will inspire other companies to follow suit. Keep your eye out for the new wash care labels and see how many bottles you have saved from landfill.

Really exciting delivery arrived from Close Parent! 😍

Anyone wanting to try their wraps? They come up really big so great for bigger toddlers too!

Or the popper version of the awesome PopIn nappy?

Please all free to pop over to the lovely Yes Bébé and tag our amazing Banbury Nappy Bank I'm sure you will all agree Zoe does an amazing job every day with the bank and all for nothing just her love for cloth nappies.

Zoe is also back from holiday tomorrow so will catch up with messages and appointments for all waiting.

Single use nappies take approximately the same amount of time as plastic bottles to break down, yet no-one is willing to publicise the detrimental effect that they have on our environment, we want to change that!

Everyone is aware of the damaging effects of single use plastic bottles so let’s create a chain and help others to realise that nappies are no different; they are not disposable, they are simply moved out of the users sight.

Please join us in helping to reduce the amount of waste created by single use nappies - we can help you with the switch too.

Applecheeks nappies on your doorstep! We have Size 1 and Size 2 in the bank if you want to ‘try before you buy’ 😃
