Potty/Toilet Training  

All children need to be toilet trained before they start at Leigh, unless they have diagnosed special needs/ medical issues. If you are looking to potty/toilet train your child, please take a look at the websites below.  There is a wealth of information, including downloadable guides and other supportive resources.  We will of course support you and your child in this.  If you have any questions please speak to a member of the Nursery team.
