Potty training

We started potty training our 3 year old daughter last Thursday (today is day 6). She is doing brilliantly at home and this morning came to me and said I need the potty, before going to it herself. No fuss or anything.

she went back to crèche yesterday but doesn’t seem to be getting the hang of it there and according to her minders she doesn’t want to sit on the potty in crèche, even though she is happy on the one at home.

i am just wondering how long it took your little ones to be comfortable in crèche?

My son trained at 3 years old too. He'd already been used to using/trying on the mini toilets at nursery so did pretty well on his first few days with no nappies on at nursery and only had 1 accident each day for maybe a week.

Could you take her potty in so it's her familiar one? It's still early days so maybe see how the next few days go at creche first though :)
