That's we did essentially - took the latter half of a week off which ran straight into a week's staycation i.e 10 days off nursery and only in knickers/naked during the day. As an added bonus, my niece who is dry day and night also holidayed with us, which provided further encouragement. The whole thing worked quite well. The difficulty is that potty training is a long process and accidents will happen over the next few weeks/months and my daughter needs to learn how to ask for the potty/loo when at nursery and the staff need to prompt her - I sort of feel pull-ups may slow or even reverse that learning process. She's very easy to communicate with and explain new skills to and has embraced potty training, so hopefully she won't be confused by it. Saffron - thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what nursery staff say and offer these ideas as suggestions if necessary. Naively, I thought this would be the easy bit of potty training!!

My daughter's 2.5y and this evening has been taking herself to the potty or asking for the loo unprompted. When in pull-ups she feels she has been given permission to not use the loo, also the sensation of a small leak of wee as cue to use loo/potty is lost. At nursery access to the loo/potty is not easy and, as Jenny says, being engrossed in nursery play means that she forgets to ask (hence the accident) or just does it in the pull-up. She is only 10 days into potty training so does need reminders about going to the loo. Incidentally, as per the last 2 posts, I said she is out of nappies and gave loads of spare underwear/clothes; they used their own supply of pull-ups. As I said in my original post, I will be speaking to the nursery (and i will be listening to what they say(!), we have a good relationship and want it to stay that way)but just wanted to hear other's experiences as I am hoping the randomness of sometimes being in knickers and sometimes in pull-ups doesn't confuse her.

I've been potty training my daughter for just over a week during which time we were either at home or on holiday. We went cold turkey on daytime nappies and used pull-ups at night and apart from the occasional accident, things have been fine with wees at least; slower progress with poos. Today was the first day back at nursery, she wet herself and they put her straight into pull-ups. As far as I can glean, there seems to be no regularity with which they take her to the loo - they either ask her if she needs the loo or they take when another child needs to go. Being at such an early stage in potty training, I feel she needs extra support (esp as this is all new to her and she will be distracted with play etc) and going into pull-ups after one accident is a step backwards and, dare I say it, lazy on their part. Am I justified in feeling this way or is the way it is done in nurseries generally? I will, of course, speak to them directly, but would value hearing other's experiences. Thanks!

Whitsable - not far but has lovely pebble beaches and good seafood for the grown ups. Bournemouth - great sandy beach, our then 1yr old loved it.
