Poo being sent home?!

I just need a sense check. We started toilet training our DS on Friday (he will be 3 in June). He has done really well with wee. Getting up in the middle of an activity to use the potty of his own accord. Really pleasantly surprised. Poo however is more difficult.

He went to nursery today for the first time in pants and did a poo in his pants. They have sent the soiled pants home in a bag (no problem with this obviously), but left the big solid poo in there! So actually sent home a big poo in a bag!! Thank god I checked before putting everything in the machine.

Is this normal?! I understand if it’s soft but a hard poo? The changing table is about a metre away from the toilet?! Feels very grim for them not to have just tipped it in the loo.

Is this normal at your children’s nursery?? Well aware I might be being ridiculous but does feel off!

That’s awful of them. Surely it would take 2 seconds to tip the poo in the toilet! I don’t remember ever having a poo sent back home (at least a solid one!)

I’m a childminder, I always tip out as much as possible but I won’t stand and scrape poo off pants. I just don’t have time. I do offer to throw the pants away but parents rarely agree to this.
