I have always used fleece liners. You don't have to but I find them gentler on LO's bottom and they make getting poo off easier.

I'd say 30 nappies if you can only hang to dry indoors - some fabrics do dry faster than others, as do flat nappies and prefolds.

We don't have a nappy sprayer - I shake the poo off into the toilet. Some people have a spatula or the like they use for scraping or if you have a detachable shower head over the bath use that over a backer then empty the bucket into the toilet!

Thanks sim
does fleece liners not let poop to go in next layer which is nappy itself?
I mean my los poop is almost watery so how liners will work?
Ya i do have a tub next to toilet with a shower head.so i can use that
i prefer pocket or all in one nappy.
If i wash nappy every other day at night will they be dry in th morning if i use pockets n all in one.

This ^^^
But no, fleece liners stop almost all the poo (I only ever got staining through to the nappy if it was also very wet and it washes / suns out).

It depends on your house but if I hung pockets out at night I would need to put them in front of the radiator to be dry by morning. The inserts would not dry overnight, and would need at least a day depending on what they were made of. I had more inserts than pockets for this reason.

My childminder has always been fine with it, once I had shown her how to use them. She has used both pockets and fitted with wraps and wool in my two.

My nursery was fine, I used pockets with flushable liners as they would only take the poop that was on the liner out, if anything was stuck to the nappy itself they would leave it. They had other children in cloth so were fine with it.
We now use a childminder and although my boys are no longer in cloth she would be happy to use them.
