Hiya all, I was under the impression that nurseries were not allowed to refuse children that are not 'potty trained' as it is a form of discrimination?
Every child is entitled to 2 1/2 hrs free nursery placement the term after their third birthday, therefore your son should be enroled regardless of his toilet habits.
I may have this muddled, but this is how I understood the law to stand at the moment?
If he isn't ready, no amount of bribery, begging, forcing etc will work, if a child is ready they can be 'trained' in a matter of days. I have no intention of 'training' my 2 1/2 yr old until I know he is ready. Gone are the bad old days of forcing a baby onto a potty after every feed at barely 9 months old!!!
Good luck, and please, from one mother (of 4) to another, take a breath, and realise there are worse things. Please. We are with you!!!
