@Heather-Jayde thanks Heather I will 🥰
@Laura thank you so much for reassuring me 🥰
Normal behaviour, alot of the time there is just too many distractions. We waited a while before sending our boy to nursery in pants. He is completely dry in the day there now but will absolutely not do a poo there, he will wait until he is home... Ask nursery to remind her every 30 minutes or so to sit on the potty if they can
@Jess absolutely normal! Give her a few weeks but also maybe say to staff could they ask her/remind her more frequently! We have one at preschool so that’s been dry and clean at home for almost a year but they’re so busy and engaged that they forget and have accidents so we remind them befor snack and going in the garden etc!
@Bex thanks so much for replying Bex! When should I start to think maybe she’s not getting it or based on the other successes (at home and out) do I stick it out? Thanks for the advice zz
@Laura thanks Laura 🥰 so is this normal? She’s dry at home. But having maybe 5 accidents at nursery. How long should I give it before maybe it’s not working out? Or am I just overthinking. I have adhd so worry a lot more 😫x
I work in preschool and childmind and yes it’s normal, there’s more stuff going on, they may not feel confident taking them selves off to use the potty! X
I work in a nursery and it is very normal for the fully dry to become a thing there as they're often so busy and sometimes forget or they may not be as confident to say they need a toilet or go by themselves. My girls been potty trained for 3 months now and still has the odd accident at nursery when she never does with me. I also found out last week they think she's 'one of the quiet ones' which surprised me as she's far from that. So she may not tell them all the time, I don't know. But yea it's very normal x
I'd give it time nursery can take linger as they are busy maybe ask the staff to take her every 10 - 15 then as she gets used less and less
My boy was absolutely fully trained at home but I still sent him in nappies to nursery for like 2 months. He had a mental block about using potty at nursery. Just wondering if she uses a potty at home, or a toilet with steps? We use a toilet with steps but our nursery has those tiny toddler size toilets which is obviously visually different to at home, and I think that was part of it. But also they are just sooo busy playing, they forget to go potty.
