Daycare and Cloth Diapers

Hey all! I finally found a decent day care that will use cloth diapers!!!! I'm wondering what all should I pack in his day bag? Obviously diapers and wetbag. We are using pocket diapers so I wont need pins or snappis. Should I include a to do/what not to do list?
I have a small bottle of coconut oil to put in there in case his bum gets red. Am I missing anything else? I just want to make sure I pack everything to make things super easy.
**To do/what not to is like don't use any diaper cream that isn't cloth diaper safe (which I guess I would cover with explaining about the coconut oil) I guess that's probably it. . . .

What can I do next?

I don't know if you are the only one there who uses cloth, but make sure you label everything with his name. I never lost any diapers, but on more than one occasion we came home with someone else's diaper.

A quality day care should provide you with a list of what to bring/provide on a daily basis, if they don't, please ask :)

Instead of sending the coconut oil, I would send something that looks and feels more familiar to normal diaper cream to minimize confusion. We send a tub of Grandma Els or California Baby.

I think you've covered all bases. What would you put on a to do or to not do list? I can't think of anything that they'd need to know. I'd start with this and be willing to answer any questions if they have any. You could make it seem too difficult for them.
