Would you be concerned? This might be a long post so thank you if you read to the end!
I had a call with my son's nursery today about how he is settling in to his new room since turning 2. They said that he is being monitored by the senco due to how big his emotions can be and they're planning 1:1 sessions for him. He has been through a really emotional phase at home but I'd say it lasted 3 weeks then settled loads. They then asked about his speech which is amazing at home and said most of the time when he speaks at nursery it's when he's copying someone else but at home he doesn't stop talking! She kept saying it's nothing to worry about and she doesn't want me panicking but that's exactly what I'm doing, although I also know he's going through a big transition moving from the baby room to the toddler room. What would you all think?

Yeah i wouldn't worry at all! Like you said they do have phases of having big emotional reactions and it really isn't uncommon for them to be speaking less at nursery when their around lots of other children especially those slightly older than him. Let them do their thing but I honestly wouldn't worry xx
It’s good the SENco is on it! 1:1 sessions usually need to be funded tho as they require more staff resources. I would ask the nursery if they can do a home visit - it can be really beneficial for some children to bring their two worlds together (and the nursery staff can see how he is in his home environment)

I think it’s really good how quick your nursery has jumped onto it. I think the term ‘SENco’ can really scare people. To me he sounds absolutely fine and like a normal 2 year old. Nursery’s do jump onto things very quickly as it’s in their duty of care. They will just be able to put more into place that help him manage his emotions etc xx
