Nursery feedback re DD

Hi folks. Getting a bit stressed with dds nursery feedback about her behaviour. Manager had a chat with me again last week about how upset she gets, especially when they are changing between activities and generally having meltdowns/ being frustrated. In the last 2 weeks she has also been really upset going in, this morning in the car she was getting upset as we got close by saying no mummy no 🥲

Dd is 2 (25 months) she is the oldest in the room 0-24mths. She is moving to 2-5 room next week. Her key worker has always said she can be sensitive but the examples they give me seem quite normal for a child of her age. Like saying No Ian's pushing her plate away if she doesn't want what they have offered her. They say she's strong willed, I said sounds pretty normal for a kid that's exercising her choices?

At home she's lovely, loves playing and being involved loves having little jobs to do. She's been building relationships brilliantly since lockdown (with grandma) and comfortable to be left on her own with her now (they live 250miles away so not frequent visitors so this relationship is great)

I think she might be bored in the baby room, it's one single room for up to 12 kids each day with quite a strict and repetitive routine. She goes 4days a week. At home our only routine is meal
And sleep times, we go with the flow on what we are doing during the day like normal - shopping, gardening, park, beach etc. I'm really getting a bit frustrated with the feedback as I don't experience this at home. But she's my first and only I don't want to miss any signs of anything more troubling?

Nursery doesn't say I need to be worried, but manager on Friday came across a bit frustrated herself and I feel like I can't help.

Anyone had similar? I'm hopeful the change to big room once she's adjusted will do her the world of good anyway, she loves playing with her older cousins and being interactive. I really do think she might be bored of the baby room and the restrictions that come with it?

I'd give her a chance to settle into the next room and see how she is in a few weeks. The toddler room staff will know whether her behaviour is normal or not for her age as they will be more experienced with 2+ yo children. I know that children on the cusp of moving rooms can seem hard work when they have outgrown that environment but are happy and settled when they move as the environment is right for their age and stage of development.

Thanks @Tumbleweed101

Interestingly this week the manager is on leave and dds behaviour has been better. I wonder if their relationship has become a little frought or if her style doesn't sit well with dd. I can only imagine it happens.
