What now..?

Been potty training DS for many months now. He's now 2.4years. He's never been potty trained as such. Tried going back to nappies many times but he hated them and always pulled them off as he got used to nice comfy undies quite quickly and really enjoys using the toilet and potty. We've got to the stage now whereby I don't remind him to go unless a)we're going in the car/before naps/meals, b)he's not been for over 1.5 hours. Poos are ok although he still has accidents when I'm not there, but generally I'd say he was doing brilliantly. Also, around once or twice a day he does really well with his wees and tells us before performing. Unfortunately, most the other times he still wees in his pants(small wet patch bad enough that we need to change him), before going to the toilet to wee or telling us. I quite often tolerate all his wee accidents as he used to go every 2 hours, so not too bad.

However, now that he is with older children at nursery who are all being potty trained at the same time, they tell me they are taking DS to the toilet very regularly just because they take every child with them. So since the beginning of Sept, till now, I've noticed his wee pattern has changed from every 2 hours to around every 30 now. So certain days we'd have nearly 10 wet underwears because he wees every 30 minutes.

Everyone I speak to who look after him(nursery, creche, relatives) keep telling me how well he's doing with potty training. (Err.. yes, because you're taking him to the toilet every 30 minutes!) But then I'm not really in a position to ask them NOT to take him, because I know before Sept he was still having mini-accidents every 2 hours or so. Plus I've been told he loves going to the toilet because all the other children are going too.

There must be something I can do... some simple solution surely.. something obvious that I'm not doing?
