Potty Training Regression at New Nursery--Help!

Looking for advice on how to handle a potty training regression. My daughter has been potty trained for about a year now and is currently 3.5 years old. Admittedly, we trained her during the first lockdown and she stayed home with us for about six months. She then went to nursery for 3 months before staying home again for several months during the third lockdown. During this second period at home, we made the decision to move her to a school nursery near our home because it was just to hard going to her old nursery which was about 30 minutes away by car. She seemed to do okay in her transition and is starting to make friends after a few months (started there in April), but lately she has had several wee accidents at nursery. I've talked to nursery staff and they say sometimes she seems distracted and sometimes she's just gotten to the potty a bit late or sat on it funny (she did the funny sitting thing a bit a home but we cracked it recently). Today she had her fifth wee accident in a few weeks at school and then when giving her a snack before bed she just started weeing right through her knickers and didn't even try to stop or get to the potty. She's literally not done this since she was originally trained so now I'm worrying something more is going on but not sure how to approach things or if this sort of regression is normal. I've tried asking her if she's upset or worried about anything or if there are any problems at school and she says she's fine.

It’s totally normal for some children to have regression like this
She is learning to recognise the feeling of a full bladder and how much control she has
She’s also learning she’s getting lots of attention because of it
