Refusing to go to Nursery

Has anyone ever experienced their 3 year old refusing to go to nursery and when he is at nursery he completely trashes the nursery by throwing chairs, toys, books and tables etc. He becomes a danger to himself, the other children and the staff.

This only started when he went into preschool in March this year, he was fine in Toddlers and when he done his settling in, in preschool.

How is his language? Can he explain at all why he does not want to go? Or perhaps respond to a bit of gentle 'I wonder if you're feeling X' if you have any ideas of what it might be?

How do nursery respond to his behaviour?

Any other significant changes in his little life?

His language is great, he just says he doesn’t like it and wants to stay at home with me and his dad. We work from home.

If his langage is good, I would still do this progress checker from Talking Point. Our DD is ND and has trouble with some aspects of her speech but most people just wouldn’t notice usually.
