Potty training and nursery can I have some advice please?

Hi started potty training my 2.7 year old DD after she started telling me when she needed to go and when she needed her nappy changing. I bought a potty and training seat and she took to it really well, we have had little accidents when she is at home with me as her potty is always there and I ask her constantly if she needs to go.

Nursery are really supportive with potty training and have said they will carry on with it while she was there. So she has been going in just her knickers this week.

Today when I picked her up she has had four accidents, it's mainly because she gets so absorbed in playing and the potty is not always in view so she just forgets, which I understand.

Nursery has said they don't really agree with pull ups so suggested I either carry on as they don't mind changing her etc or to put her in nappies again and try again october half term when she will be at home all week.

What would you do? As she goes on the toilet/potty great at home I don't really want to put her back in nappies full time again but I also haven't got the time and money to wash four changes of clothes everyday, plus I feel awful on the nursery staff even though they have said they don't mind.

Would it be really confusing for her if I put her in a pull up for now just for nursery until she gets more confident? She's only there for three hours at a time so would have the rest of the day to use her potty.

No advice I'm afraid but interested in responses. My feeling would be to keep her out of nappies rather than going back as she is doing so well, and that maybe they should be taking her to the loo to try once or twice while she's there. Would they do this? Seems silly to wait until she needs changing.

My ds has started preschool at 3.4 having only been training a few weeks. He is only now getting the hang of taking himself to go at home, but is a way off being fully trained. He holds it in for the three hours he is at preschool, I told them he wouldn't ask to go and they don't take him.

Trouble is on preschool days he then has trouble going at all and ends up getting very stressed and holding it most of the day when he gets home until I have very strongly cajole him to go. I think they should take him to try while he's there but don't know whether that's reasonable or not.

I'd keep going for a few more days. See how she goes.

Have a good chat with her on the way in about how pleased you'll be if she can use the potty at nursery and ask staff to remind her for a few weeks and see where that takes you.

I'd just keep going. The clothes don't take up that much space in the washing machine. changing wet clothes is no worse than nappies anyway.
