CALLING ON ALL DAYCARE AND NURSERY SETTINGS:
Helping reduce the average potty training age in toddlers is something we are very passionate about. Over the last few decades the average potty training age has increased gradually. It is now around 3 years old.
With only 95% of children fully potty trained before starting school and 1.5 million children in the UK currently living with a bladder or bowel condition.

Research has shown that the best age to potty train is between 18 months and 2.5 years. So how can we get back to potty training sooner.
Having spent the last 9 months working with a nursery group that has actively tackled potty training in their settings, it can be done. They have successfully reduced the average nappy free age in their settings by 8 months already. This means they have reduced their costs, waste created and freed up staff time. These children will also be "school ready" and have better health outcomes.
We want to replicate this and work with other nurseries to achieve the same results.
We would love to hear from you.
