Nursery asked for meeting, now worried

So dh took ds to nursery this week. He's 3 1/2. He has a speech delay they are aware of but getting much better, not potty trained yet but trying. They have mentioned before he tends to play on his own but never mentioned concerns.
Now this morning they asked for me to arrange a meeting with them over some observations the manager has made and of course I'm probably worrying prematurely but generally what would they normally discuss meeting for? He's generally well behaved, he does sometime appear in his own world and takes things in before getting involved in play. Should I be concerned they've asked for meeting and what should I expect to go be prepared? Thanks

They just might think that he needs a little extra support so just go in and listen to what they have to say 

Is he getting any SLT sessions at the moment @Annon12345?

As per pp. All you can do is listen to what they say, I'm sure they are trying to be supportive whatever the issue is. And ditto SLT for the speech delay, they will consider wider communication development alongside this.

I'm in a similar boat. My son is 3 and nursery have made a couple of observations to me about 'stimming' and when I asked more about it, they let me know that they've asked a SENCo to observe him. I'm actually really pleased as if he does have extra needs, at least it is being addressed. I'd rather than were proactive than just left him to struggle. I'd probably make a list of any concerns you have that you've spotted, to help make a bigger picture (that's what I'll be doing) but there's no benefit from worrying (easy to say I know!). Hope all goes well.

Update
Met with them today and they said he doesn't follow instructions in a group they have to go to him 1 to 1 to get him to do basic tasks. They said he also doesn't tend to engage with other children and just wants to do his own thing and will turn his back or wonder off. His speech is an issue we have an appointment soon but they want to discuss with hv other concerns. Now I'm feeling pretty awful
