Would it be reasonable to ask for DD to use visitor toilet

My DD (6) is a lovely, well
behaved girl but has had issues with toileting all her life. It is finally under control but she will not use the toilets
at school because she has a horror of being overheard going. Next to the year 1 toilets there is the school office and visitor toilet (single cubicle). Would it be outrageous to ask if she could use it? I don't want to be cheeky as the school have been so great helping her so far. But I think if she could feel safe going to the toilet at school we might be able to nail the toileting issue.

It wouldn't hurt to discuss this with the school and see if they can support her to go to the general toilets. Maybe she can be allowed to go out of class early to go?

The school should have an accessible toilet that would be appropriate for her to use if you ask.

Thanks both - I'll ask the SENco who has been supporting us, and great idea to give her the chance to go during lessons (although I think they can all go at any time so she might encounter someone)
