Potty Pros Academy

No, the idea of waiting for “readiness signs” is a relatively modern idea and many toddlers never show clear signs at all which can leave parents stuck waiting, unsure when to begin.

Historically, the average age for potty training was much earlier, around 18 months. It’s only since the widespread use of disposable nappies that the average age has increased to nearly 3 years. Despite common advice to wait until 2.5, there is no evidence that waiting makes potty training easier.

Current UK government guidance recommends supporting toilet learning between 18–30 months, focusing on gentle exposure, routine and skill-building.

Potty Pros follows this evidence-aligned approach.

Potty Pros is designed specifically for toddlers to start any time between 18–24 months. While some families with older toddlers have still found success, results may vary and it may take more time, consistency and patience.

As this is a gradual introduction, you don't need to clear your calendar. In the beginning, 10 minutes per day is all you need. This will gradually increase, but it can slot into your routine around work and childcare.

Yes. This approach follows each child’s individual development and awareness, so you can move through the stages together while allowing each child to progress at their own pace.

It’s completely normal for one child to move ahead of the other and this method allows for that. 

You don’t need a separate approach specifically for twins, just one that supports each child as an individual.

Most courses are aimed at older toddlers (2+), use rewards, or rush through in 3 days. Potty Pros Academy is the only course designed for the 18–24 month window, built from 15 years of hands-on experience, and focuses on respectful independence from the start.

You can add 1:1 Potty Training Support at the checkout or at any time during the course. Message Esther directly, send her your question and she'll reply within 48 hours with personalised advice - just like if she were your nanny.
