Behaviour at nursery - is this normal ?

For context , I have a 10 year old who went to nursery and apart from the small issue here and there’s he breezed through.
My 2nd born is now 2.5 years old and is one of the youngest in his ‘room’ at nursery . He’s with 3-5 year olds.
Hes a typical 2nd born two year old, cheeky , does things which he finds funny (taking washing whilst I’m hanging it up , raining away with remote controls silly things ) in his element outdoors and likes to be busy.
Hes not naughty at home but as I collected him today the worker pulled me aside for ten mins and explained that they want to get a 1-2-1 worker with him for a couple of months . There’s been incidents of biting (not mentioned to us before ( and although he says sorry and knows what he’s done , it’s happened more then once .
Apparently when there’s a table with paper and crayons set up for instance , he will do drawing and play nicely but then be bored and brush the paper off the table and run off to the next activity. This behaviour is apparently only around the bigger kids.
i feel really sad , like upset sad , that he’s been singled out and none of this has been mentioned to us beforehand.
Anyone work in nursery setting and a 1-2-1 thing normal ?
To clarify , the nursery is ofsted good and we have no issues with anything. He’s been with them since 9 months old

He needs to be in a room with children his own age with developmentally appropriate activities. A 2.5 years old is a completely different beast to a 5 year old and he shouldn't be expected to behave like one. I'd ask what they are providing for him as a 2 year old.

I’m totally agree . My eldest went to a nursery where 2-3 yr olds were in a separate room because there is huge differences between ages when they’re that small .

He's bitten other children and you haven't been informed? That's unacceptable.
