Toilet training
You can start training your child to use the toilet as soon as they start to show signs that they are ready. This is usually between two and three years old but all children are different. It is important to only train your child when the time is right for you and your child.
Signs of toilet readiness
· Your child can stay dry for three or more hours
· Your child recognises when they need to wee or poo
· Your child can pull their pants up and down themselves
· Your child is showing interest in using the toilet
· Your child is imitating others going to the bathroom
· Your child is able to follow simple instructions
Getting started
· Dress your child in clothes that are easy for them to manage i.e. pants with an elasticated waist
· Introduce your child to the potty or toilet at times they are most likely to need go i.e. after mealtimes
· Do not restrain your child or force them to sit on the toilet or potty for long periods.
· Praise or reward your child every time they use the toilet.
· Take your child to the toilet regularly, at least every hour when you are starting out.
· Teach your child how to flush the toilet and wash their hands after using the toilet
· Expect setbacks. Do not make a big deal out of accidents. Use statements such as “it’s okay, I bet you make it to the toilet/ potty next time.”
· Do not rush to get your child out of nappies at night-time; this usually takes much longer than being dry during the day.
Welcome to nursery! We have had a wonderful start and everyone is settling in really well. The children are already beginning to make new friends and enjoy playing together. We are learning the rules and daily routines, which help us feel safe and happy at nursery. We are also practicing how to be kind, take turns, and share with others. It’s been a lovely start, and we’re so proud of how well the children are doing!
