Nursery says "no nappies"
Hi, my son will be 3 in November and due to start nursery. We recently had a letter from them inviting us to a meeting and to look round etc. On the end of the letter was a little note saying that the kids must be confident in using the toilet because nursery staff don't change nappies or help with the toilet.
Is this what usually happens?
My son is not ready to be potty trained yet and even though its a few months away I'm beginning to get a bit stressed and I feel rushed.
Anybody else?

My mil looks after a little boy who wasn't toilet trained until 3. He is 4 now and still needs help with going to the toilet for a no. 2 as do most 4 year olds and I think nursery still helps him with that xx
my daughter goes to pre-school, (2 different ones) I know its not the same as nursery its only mornings, but they were both fine with nappies and also help her with the toilet, I also didnt think they could discriminate now. Have you tried another nursery,as this is just putting stress and pressure on you, your LO will use the toilet when they're ready you dont need extra stress about it, my daughter was 3 and 1 month before she was out of nappies, I didnt think she'd ever get out of them! she was scared of the toilet! x

I know he's not a baby any more but even when he's 3 I don't think he'll be capable of wiping his bum properly.

The teachers were more than happy to change him if he had an accident. Which he didn't he had been out of nappies for almost a year.
I think that they assist with the bum wiping?! I would ask about this if you have any worries

i seriously think though that any nursery staff should be trained to and should change nappies. there is no law that says all kids under a certain age are toilet trained...they all go at their own pace. its rather shocking to be honest, i cant believe your being rushed like this xx
