I wouldn’t label it as complaining but if I was in your position I’d definitely have a conversation with our daycare provider. “Hey, whats going on here? This seems like a large number of accidents I want to make sure our strategy is aligned and we are communicating consistently to (child) because he doesn’t typically have this issue at home. Also I noticed that he came home without underwear even though he had another spare pair, I’d like to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Here is how we approach this at home and the language/tools we use. How can we keep this consistent with his routine here and best support him?” Potty training is so much about being consistent (and so much patience, I feel for you) but a key step is open and frequent communication with all childcare providers. My husband and I even had to get better aligned so we approached things consistently with our son when we potty trained and we live together lol
Respectfully, if he’s not having accidents at home because you’re prompting him to go, then he’s not potty trained. He needs to go pantless at home and have some accidents so he recognize the cues and initiate himself. At school he should wear a pull-up until he comes home for a week or so with it clean.

Hmmm a few things… how old is he? Are they asking/taking him every hour or two (depending on fluid intake)?
If you or others are frustrated, he likely feels it. That’s going to make it worse. So it would be best not to react and just stick with factual reinforcers. (Were you listening to your body? Don’t forget to pay attention to your body etc - calmly with empathy not frustration)
Good chance he is just caught up playing and not want to stop to go potty. Smaller chance but maybe worth exploring is something going on at school that’s causing anxiety (if he’s older and regressing especially) - might be worth casually asking more about his day and his relationships (in addition to asking how the school is reacting to his accidents or other behaviors).
Also never heard the word panties used for boys, are you outside the states?
