Hello, my DD2 who is 3.5 can't wipe her own bottom without soiling her hands (if she remembers to do so) and pants and needs to be reminded to wash her hands after the toilet. She would do so, though, having been reminded. However in her nursery children go to the toilet unsupervised, nobody is watching them if they do or do not wipe their bottoms or indeed wash their hands. As a result my DD2 has had worms 4 times since September when she started. We religiously remind her at home to wash her hands and do wipe her bottom for her when she asks, sometimes she does it herself and then we'd make sure she has a mega good hand wash. I've mentioned to the nursery the situation with worms 3 times, and politely asked to help her/remind her wash hands etc. They replied 'yes sure' every time but there has been no result, and now we have worms again, which means all of us need to be treated, including DD1 and DH. Let alone we have to force the medicine down DD2 as she doesn't like it. Anyone got any advice on how to approach the nursery so they help? She is there all day one day a week and half a day the other day. Maybe they think it's not worth the effort for a child who is not there very much? I plan to increase my hours with them though but am frightened she will have worms even more often. Thank you for your advice.
