Is preschool worked fighting for

[Newishmom]

Just for a bit of context I have a potentially autistic 3 year old and I am 18 I am currently living off social welfare but want to find a job but my toddler can't train don't know if it's due to autism or maybe incontinent please help as a word fighting over getting her into one or do I just wait to get a job until she's 5 or trained

I sent mine in a nappy with potty and the nursery potty trained her

There's one like down the road for me I'm baking the biscuits to give in tomorrow to see if that will prostrate them I make good biscuits I can't be relying on my mother

@squaredcircletriangledo you ting the ones around me are just being lazy?

Any nursery that takes funded children is not allowed to refuse a child's place based on continence needs. They cannot refuse a child with SEN either provided they can keep them, and other children attending safe.

How much have you tried with the potty training? It really will depend on what type of nursery you send your child to. If it is attached to a school then they tend to be less willing to change nappies. When you say your toddler can’t train- how do you mean? Have you taken the nappy off and let them run round naked- sitting them on the potty frequently? Reward charts work incredibly well as do mini potty toilets with their own little flusher. Bing Bunny does a lovely toilet train book and a special episode on CBeebies which can help too.

The one near me is funded should I report this or would that be too far of a action to take? @littlemisspickles

@Honeyandwinei think she has autism I've been trying to train her since 2 y 8 months and she has never once being successful I have tried underwear pull ups thoses Japanese pants and naked every single time is led back to this and new and now I'm unable to work because she isn't training or trained

As other posters have said- nurseries are not generally allowed to refuse. I’m a primary teacher and have children in nappies sometimes. It is preferable to have them dry because depending on the nursery type they may not be equipped. For example a pop up preschool who only takes three year olds won’t necessarily have the staff or area to properly nappy change, a school nursery will be similar. A private day nursery on the other hand will be fully equipped due to the younger ages. Have you started a formal process to get a diagnosis? Is she non-verbal?

Yes I have started her on the waitlist for a diagnosis I done that right around a year ago and she is semi verbal mostly time she won't talk but if her stress levels get too high she becomes totally non-verbal

@Honeyandwine
