spotlight NAPPY CHANGING AND TOILET TRAINING
Changing times From first changes to confident toilet trips, everyday essentials like nappy bins, changing mats and toilet training products play a huge role in family life. Thankfully, nursery brands continue to bring thoughtful, practical solutions to this ever-evolving category. Nappy changing remains a daily routine for parents, and products such as nappy bins and changing mats have become must-have items rather than nice-to-haves. Cleverly designed bins help keep odours at bay, while wipe-clean, padded changing mats offer comfort, safety and style, whether used at home or on the go. With parents increasingly looking for products that combine function with design, these essentials have firmly earned their place on the shopping list. As little ones grow, the focus naturally shifts towards toilet training. From first potties to portable options for days out, today’s toilet training products are designed to build confidence and make the transition feel positive and pressure-free. Child-friendly designs, fun colours and practical features all help turn an important milestone into a manageable moment for both parents and toddlers. While reusable and eco-friendly nappy options remain part of the conversation for some families, the wider category now encompasses far more than nappies alone. For nursery retailers, offering a well-curated mix of changing and toilet training essentials can encourage repeat purchases and support parents through multiple stages of early childhood. Across the following pages, we highlight a selection of products available to order now, helping retailers tap into a category that continues to deliver both practicality and long-term value.

moments At CuddleCo, the changing area is approached as more than a practical necessity; it is an integral part of daily life with a new baby.

Fabric-led finishes add warmth and softness to the nursery environment, helping the space feel calm and cohesive. Washable covers and a water-repellent lining introduce everyday practicality, supporting repeated use without compromising on comfort.
