Potty Training Regression

So my DS is 3 in April. He stopped using nappies and became dry originally around 5/6 months ago. There may be little trickles but nothing major.

But the last fortnight or so, he's become very unreliable again. Sometimes he'll just sit there and wee without trying to go to the toilet or at least let us know so we can help him get there quickly. Just stands up proud of himself saying he's wet.

Obviously we don't shout, but we do sit down with him and remind him what he needs to do so he's not wet anymore.

I'm worried because he's supposed to start nursery next month and they need to be dry. Is it normal for kids to regress in potty training? This is my first child.

(Added info; there's been no major changes in his life that may explain it, health is perfectly fine.)

He’s still very young. I’d probably just get him to go on a schedule again for a bit rather than waiting for him to take himself so if it’s been 2 hours (or whatever interval of time you think is reasonable) since he last went then take him to the loo. And don’t worry nursery will be more than used to it. They may say they need to be dry but if they’re taking just turned 3 year olds then accidents will be pretty commonplace. Just maybe ask them to remind him to go if it’s been a while.
