4 weeks ago my little one (2 years 3 months) decided she wanted to wear big girl knickers at nursery. We gave it a go and she started off amazingly! she was having a few little accidents where she was starting in her knickers before making it to the toilet but that was all.
At home she had little to no accidents during the day, initiating when she wanted to go to the potty. However at nursery she is still having 5-6 accidents a day.
She is getting to a point now where she cry’s because she doesn’t want to use the potty but it also crying because she doesn’t want to wear nappies.
im a bit confused whether to take a break and start again when she is a bit older or to persist.

No, what's a persever?Because she's clearly got the hang of it.And she doesn't want to wear nappies.

What I think is going on is because there are fewer people, caring for a large number of children that they don't necessarily have the time to get her there immediately. Whereas when she's at home with you, it's just you and her.So as soon as she says she needs to go, you can get her there.

Can you speak to nursery and see if they can pay more attention.
