4 year old ds having poo accidents

Four times in the last week ds has gone to the toilet saying he needs a poo but a lot has ended up on the floor/ in his pants. It just seems to come very fast.. I am very worried because he is due to start school in September and they are not going to want te be dealing with this, are they? He is otherwise well but had had the odd minor tummy ache, so I suppose it could be a small bug? Would changing his diet in some way help? He does love fruit and maybe has had even more than usual recently..

Does it look 'normal' for him, or does it look like he might have a bug?

If this is unusual for him, sounds more like he has a dodgy tummy and it will pass. Does he have any tummy ache or any other symptoms?

Ds(6) often has little accidents, he can't seem to hold it and always tries to leave it to the last minute!

Does it happen at school Shannatiger?

Erm..a bit softer than usual but not diarrhoea iykwim.... Just wondering if any dietary changes would help??

Thank you!
