2.5 year old dirty underwear after nursery

[ldnbrdg]

My son is only 2.5 years old so obviously can't wipe very well.

I've noticed after nursery he seems to have dirty underwear. I get it can happen sometimes, but surely they should be helping him a bit more ?

Would it be appropriate to provide them with some wet wipes ? They're always saying he's scratching his bum too.

He's been potty trained since he was 2 but I've only just started noticing the dirty underwear after nursery.

I am assuming they help him wipe, but maybe they're just not helping anymore, is that even possible ?

EHCP was in place in July. Early review was done November because in September he'd had a seizure in the outdoor play area - again unnoticed. A child told the teacher that he was asleep at the side of the store/shed. We know this because it was my daughter's, friend's son who told the teacher.

The EHCP is worded well and very specific about the amount of 1:1/constant supervision he needs. He has to remain in sight of an adult throughout his time there, including toilet breaks and lunchtime. Adult is to assist with personal care/hygiene.

I think the school is happy for the extra money ....

No idea how often the plan is followed - seems they pick and choose.

What's annoying is, there are three adults (including a 1:1 assistant) in the class, 14 children - 4 go home at lunch. It's the local primary school nursery. Ten more joining after Christmas - quite worryingly.

Oh my point was - if a child is not helped with personal care when it's within an explicit written statement there's much less chance for others.

Similar situation here, although DC is still in nappies. I've watched them change him and even when he's said "bit sore" they've ignored him and not put cream on. It's a quick wipe with a paper towel and nappy on, I can smell he's unclean sometimes.

I think it's only certain members of staff. But I need to figure out how to address it without wanting to impact their relationship to DC. He's come home so sore some days that he cannot sit in the bath without bursting into tears. One day of proper hygiene later, and he's fine.

And don't even get me started on Metanium being discontinued... It was the only thing that saved us.

That crosses the line for me. I would move him if at all possible. You shouldn't be afraid to bring it up in a nice way. Advocate for him !

In our nursery there is a toilet in the room for children to use as they please, sometimes they will ask for help sometimes they will just go themselves.
