Renowned potty training expert Amanda Jenner, founder of the award-winning My Carry Potty and Potty Training Academy, has taken a significant step in supporting early childhood education by collaborating with the Department of Education. Her comprehensive potty training guide is now available as a downloadable resource for nurseries across the country.
The initiative comes at a crucial time, as the UK faces a growing potty training crisis. Increasing numbers of children are starting school without being fully toilet trained, putting pressure on both nursery staff and primary school teachers. Many educators have reported that a lack of consistency in potty training methods and the impact of busy modern family life have contributed to this challenge.
Recognised as the UK’s leading potty training specialist, Amanda Jenner has dedicated years to developing practical, effective and child-friendly approaches to toilet training. Her guide provides nurseries with expert strategies to help young children transition smoothly from nappies to independent toilet use, reducing stress for both caregivers and parents.
“I am delighted that my potty training guide is now accessible to nurseries through the Department of Education,” Amanda Jenner says. “This initiative ensures that early years professionals have the right tools and techniques to support children in this essential developmental milestone.”
The guide emphasises the importance of collaboration between parents and nursery staff to create a consistent and supportive potty training experience for children. By working together, both at home and in nursery settings, caregivers can reinforce positive habits, build confidence and ensure a smoother transition to independent toilet use.
The downloadable guide is available now and aims to standardise best practices in potty training across nursery settings, fostering confidence in both educators and children.
