Potty training advice

I'm just looking for some advice please. I've started potty training my little girl (22 months old).. first couple of days we mostly stayed in with nothing on, and I did reminders ect, by Sunday she was taking herself to the potty. Monday was her first day at nursery (day 5 of potty training) and she did amazing; only 1 accident all day. Then today, she's had accidents all day (3 wees and 2 poos). I know they're busier on a Tuesday so potentially they haven't had the same amount of time to be taking her / reminding her. Her poos are still quite loose and so it made a bit of a mess (not nice for her or them!) it's also a forest school type nursery so they are outside a lot so it's not like she can just take herself to the potty as she does at home.

I'm going to continue as we are at home. Mainly bare bum / pants if nipping out. But I'm trying to think of a solution for nursery next Monday. I saw the huggies day time training pants which claim they're good for allowing children to know if wet etc. I wondered if I put her in these but ask them to continue to take her to the toilet etc; treat them as pants but at least if she does have a poo accident they wouldn't make such a mess!

I have a couple of pairs of the thicker pants with some absorbency but they're useless with a full wee or poo!
