The most neglected kids never see a nursery m8..

I think 2 years old is a good age to be fully trained.
Teachers are there for educational needs, not ruddy parental stand ins.

on the contrary it was a great motivator parents knew from the get go when they had to be potty trained by and they had 3 years to get there, they only exceptions were children with developmental delays

A great motivator for responsible parents with the most at genuine need left behind once again. 3 years to get there is a bit of a stretch too - are they starting fresh out the womb?

What I meant by the 3 years is that if you know you have to have your child toilet trained by 3 then you know from the day they are born what your goal is if you want them in nursery, given in many areas you have to put your child down for nursery in the womb I don't think this is a stretch, who is being left behind here, surely going to the toilet is something everyone does however bad a parent you are, you may not brush your teeth but if you ain't going pee pee then there is something seriously wrong like you said children learn by mimicry....

If a child isn't potty trained by 3 it implies they are subject to neglect. That should be a big red flag to everyone

Some of these places have certain standards to maintain and uphold as the unwritten expectation. Some Costa coffee branches will let any waif-and-stray (no offence but we’re being real for a minute here, folks) park their bum and take up space for hours on end and let kids mess up the whole place but others are classier. Let’s put it like that.
