Millec - please don't upset yourself or DD.
If she is still having accidents at nursery it may be that she's just not ready yet.
What I would do .....is to put her in pull ups, try her every now and again, if she goes on the potty, fab, loads of praise and maybe a little treat, but if she doesn't, then just stay with pull ups for a while. At least until the weather is warmer .
Please try not to get upset, its harder of course when you are on your own.
If you go back to pull ups you are not giving up, just letting her do it in her own time.

i wouldnt say 2 - 3 accidents per day is perfect or even nearly perfect.

perhaps she isnt ready

Im not a beliveer in pull ups.... either knickers or nappies

maybe go back to nappies and try again after easter!

Millec- have you tried one of those little soft seats at home, she might like "being grown up" worth a thought

peer pressure at nursery , perhaps they all are asked to go at very regular intervals and are just lucky when she does if she is still having accidents in spite of this. . Sounds like she hasn't got the urge to anticpate or release yet so she isn't really trained. Let her have nappies and try again in a month or two.

What about buying a toilet seat or letting her choose a potty herself for at home? Let her also choose some nice pants.

My friend works in a nursery and she says every now and then they just take the children to try if they do it great if not they try again in a bit, no pressure.

I can remember training my dd a few months ago and it was a bit stressful. Now she's pretty much cracked it, we are still not getting pooh's in the toilet but she has been suffering constipation so we'll work towards that. (so from holding pooh in for a week to poohing in pants/ nappy is good progress for us now we need to wean her off the medicine and get her doing it on her own and on the loo would be a bonus!
