Guest Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi, I am clearly stuck in a toilet schema at the moment... Following yesterday's question about loo rolls.... What do you do when you are out with the children on a countryside walk and someone needs the loo? I would encourage them to go behind a tree but what if it's more than a wee? Sorry...a very silly question but we are planning a whole morning walk and I wouldn't want to send someone all the way back to base. Answers on a piece of loo paper please...

Sue R Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Take a spade... take some 'poo' bags... Sorry, don't really know what to suggest, but it's a very good question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I've thought about this subject too... I found some 'tavel' potties in Wilkinsons with special liners, but never got round to buying them. xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Edlee you have read my mind! I too have been trying to think of what to do if we are all out on a trip away from "facilities" One of my staff team is off on a course in November and that's the first question she will be asking When my children were small I would take them behind a bush but in today's world I'm not sure that that's a good idea and like others have thought of some of the alternatives - none of which are appealing and which member of staff gets the short straw and carrys it!!!!!

Guest Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 For that matter, what about a staff member who's caught short?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyfs1966 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 We always take a "port -a -potty" with us, including liners. However, staff would be expected to do whatever they need, wherever they can!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 not got an answer to this one, ok with own children but with other peoples... just thought I would share this one though.. we had a little boy at pre-school, fully toilet trained, never an accident, but when outdoors and he needed a wee he would just drop his trousers and go. wherever he was, took us ages to teach him that the toilet inside was more suitable.. seems that was what his parents had taught him to do...

Bigsue Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 We take our children over to local country park regularly, last week not one of the seventeen (3-4year olds) asked for the toilet!!! Its amazing !!!!! but they were all so engaged in the activities (tree climbing, digging, running, shouting, exploring) I don't think they thought about it! If we had been in our setting they would have been in the loo without a doubt Goes to show you get them out!!! Sue PS Staff held themselves well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well last term we had a lovely trip planned. Bus ride to the park, morning at park, bus ride back. Then we did a quick look mround the park and found out there is only one park in my borough that has toilets and becuase of where they are situated dont open until 12 noon, So we cancelled, Such a shame and as others have said one thing to take your own child behind a bush but quite another with someone elses' child.
