Cloth nappy events

 

 

There are regular cloth nappy events in Chelmsford, Saffron Walden and Westcliff on Sea throughout the year.  These are nappuccinos and the details are below. 

 

Other non-regular events feature visits to Children’s Centres or Baby Shows by Essex County Council’s nappy advisers and the details of these can be found on our Nappy Events page. 

 

A nappuccino is a friendly parent and baby group, often a coffee morning, which offers the chance to meet to chat about everything to do with cloth nappies.  More often than not, there will be a nappy consultant on hand to answer questions and have samples to 'touch and feel'.
