CM worried about her carpet - dilemma!!

Our otherwise loving and caring home based carer has asked that we provide nappies for DS (2y.9m - 17 days into potty training) as she is not happy that he has (Occasional!)accidents on her carpet.

Whilst hoping to avoid a rant to explain this, I am sure I'll blether on, but to be brief....
DS in care 2 days/week, at potty stage of being 'reminded' every hour/90 mins or so, obliging with a wee, or else not needing to go and saying I'm fine Mummy.

Carer initially left DS in his pullup after his afternoon nap, without telling us, when we found out we indicated NO nappies other than sleep time. This week she said she would rather we waited until summer (we're in NZ), or just provided nappies as she was "not really into cleaning up his accidents, and he doesn't go on the toilet when I ask anyway".

All help and support needed, we are otherwise happy with her, but at this age and stage, potty training is kind of a deal breaker for us.

Due to age of our LOs, most of my antenatal/coffee group have been potty training over the last few months, so I guess LOTS of babies do it over winter!

I am feeling good about my decision, but I really hate the icky nature of the situation. But, as my mother says, you'll wish it was this easy once he's a teenager!

Tks.
