Daily Personal Care Log
Nappies • Pull-Ups • Toileting Support
 
Support safe, hygienic and respectful personal care routines in your early childhood service with this practical Daily Personal Care Log designed specifically for Australian ECEC environments.
 
This resource has been created to make documentation quick, clear and easy for busy educators while still maintaining high standards for children’s health, hygiene, dignity and wellbeing.
 
Unlike many basic nappy change charts, this log uses a simple “tick and flick” system. Educators can quickly record each routine with a few ticks and their initials, allowing them to document care efficiently without interrupting supervision or engagement with children.
 
Why Educators Love This Log
✔ Quick “tick and flick” layout – fast documentation during busy routines
✔ Records nappy changes, pull-up changes and toileting support
✔ Includes standing pull-up changes for children transitioning out of nappies
✔ Tracks wet, dry, bowel movements and accidents
✔ Built-in skin checks (clear, redness, rash, broken skin)
✔ Records products used where authorised
✔ Educator initials for accountability and clear record keeping
✔ Notes section for observations, health concerns or family communication
The layout allows educators to record routines clearly and consistently, while supporting respectful personal care practices for every child.
 
Designed for Real Early Learning Environments
Each double-sided record page captures up to 8 children for the day, with multiple personal care entries per child.
 
Services can easily add additional pages where needed, which is especially helpful for:
• Nursery rooms where children require more frequent nappy changes
• Toddler rooms where children may transition between nappies, pull-ups and toileting
• Rooms with more than eight children
 
Built-In Guidance for Educators

• Personal Care Essentials page outlining hygiene, dignity and respectful care routines
• Guidance for supporting children’s participation and independence during toileting
• Quick reference reminders for hygiene practices and documentation
• Simple instructions for printing and setting up the folder
 
These pages help ensure personal care routines are carried out consistently, respectfully and in line with service procedures.
