Toddler at nursery

My 2 year, 4 month toddler is at home with nothing on his bottom half and will go to the potty unprompted.

However at nursery he will wet himself three times a day.

Their issue or toddler?

YABU -it’s only been 5 days

He needs a bit longer at home to get used to having pants on before he can go back to nursery.

Try trousers only at first (no pants) and once he's mastered that, add pants in too.

You need to master potty training at home, with clothes on, before sending your 2 year old back to nursery.

Toddler. 5 days is nothing really.
There will be LOTS of distractions at nursery.

If he can only manage potty training at home without anything on his bottom half, surely it will be a problem at nursery where he needs to wear trousers? You probably need to practice at home wearing what he wears in nursery. Even then he will probably have more accidents there as he will be more distracted.
