Where do you fit in potty training?

[BornAgainCountryBumpkin1]

Just after a little advice from similar situation parents.
Dd is 2 & half. More than ready for potty training. Pretty much nailed the numbers twos whilst still in pull ups. Will always tell me. Sometimes cutting it fine but we make it.
(Although she doesn't say when she's at nursery as assume she is distracted & way more fun things to do than waste time on the loo).
But the issue is how have people managed with the whole stay at home blitz it all in a few days method? I'm a lone parent most of the time ( Dh works abroad and only home a few times a year) so am doing it alone and I only have a day, at the most 2 in a row when I'm not at work. I don't have time off I can take unfortunately.
I put her in pants when we are home but am I confusing her? She's very good & will happily use the potty & loo but I'm just concerned about not being consistent. Or am I just worrying about nothing and she will easily fall into it anyway?
I'd like to send her in pants to nursery but they need her a little more ready & it's a long drive there and back.

Sounds like youve already potty trained.

Putting them in pants and relying on them to tell you (then always making it) IS potty training.

Where does dd go when you are at work? Just involve them too and you will have cracked it, seems to me.

Nursery can't possibly be expecting her to be perfect before they accept her in pants? Part of the whole process of patty training is just as you've said-getting used to going in different environments and accepting that you still have to go to the loo even though there are far more exciting things to be doing!

If she's pretty much cracked it at home then I think you probably need to just take the plunge with nursery. Send her in with loads of spares, give them warning that you're going to do it and explain that she's got the hang of it at home but might be more distracted at nursery and see how she goes! I would hope very much that they are used to this and well versed in reminding small ones they need to go and have a try on the loo!
As for the long journey, make sure she goes for a big wee before you set off either to nursery or home (and poo depending on when she normally goes) and if you're really not sure then for the first few days it's not the end of the world to put a pull up on for the journey. I used to use one for really long trips for mine but over a pair of pants so if they did wee they'd still feel it as sometimes pull ups seem to give them a sense of freedom to wee even if they can hold it for longer!
Good luck, sounds like she's mostly there anyway!

Sounds like you've already broken the back of this. I did it as lone parent from scratch over a weekend. After that just take potty everywhere with you and offer (without much choice) lots of wee stops. Taking the final step out of the house and in car etc. is scary but you just have to bite the bullet.

For the long drive I would line the car seat with a puppy pad so that if there is an accident it doesn't soak into the car seat itself.

Just crack on with it over a weekend then send her to nursery with loads of spare clothes. They expect accidents.

I thought my DD was ready at 2.5 and it took a whole year after that to be absolutely 100 per cent clean and dry. Just warning you

Thank you everyone. She's at nursery when I'm working & they said once she is in pants they will carry on so maybe I'll just do it & see how many pairs of leggings she gets through in a day.....I was just concerned about sending her in still not able to fully understand but guess just wing it.
Dh is literally only home for 6-12 weeks of the year for another year so he isn't physically involved. No fault of his own but got bills to pay.
Perhaps she has got it & it's me that's worrying over nothing.
