My three year old has started wetting her pants, after being potty trained for a year

Help!
My three year old daughter has started to wee her pants since starting nursery full time. She has been potty trained, but since going from 2 days a week at nursery to full time, we've encountered this problem. We started off with trying not to make a big issue of it, & rewarding her when she did go to on the toilet. This went on for about 3 weeks & she seemed to get the hang of it. It started to creep back in again, and she has started to clam up when we ask her why or she just refuses to speak. Sometimes she won't even acknowledge she has done it & will sit in wet pants. It's got to the point we are constantly asking her if she wants the toilet, she will sit on loo not do anything then wet herself 5 minutes later. It's starting to frustrate my husband & I, because she is so abstinent when we ask her what's wrong. I dont want it to become an issue that it harms her psychologically. We've gone from rewards to taking treats away, but I don't know what's best

Maybe try taking her to the doctors to check for a urinary infection? That can make previously trained children regress in some cases...

Sorry should gave said I'd tried that - really worried me into the 2nd week. The Dr just said she has no other symptoms, I felt quite over protective after that

Hmmm, not sure then. My DS went through a regression stage about a year after he was trained but it co-incided with DD being born.

Maybe going from 2 days to 5 is too much for her. Could you take her out and build up more slowly?
