11 month old completely refusing naps

My just turned 11 month old is suddenly refusing his naps. He is usually on this schedule:
5.30am wake ( I can NOT get him to sleep longer)
9-9.30am nap 1
1.30/2pm nap 2
6-7 bedtime
All this depends on his wake windows of about 3.5 hours
He sleeps fine at night/all night (at the moment) cos we sleep trained him.
He is usually at nursery and naps there and usually naps very well at home.
But now despite behind exhausted he will fight sleep with every ounce of his being.
He has napped very well in his cot since 5.5 months.
Yesterday he refused morning nap so I put him for pm nap and he only slept 30 mins probably because by that point he was over tired.
He usually sleeps 1-1.5 hours on both naps.
What is going on and what am I meant to do about it?

Try and keep him past 9am, maybe 10 or 11? Aim to have one midday nap rather than two.

I’d aim for one nap. Early lunch at 11ish so he’s nice and full and then nap at 11.30.
Hopefully once he’s settled into that routine he’ll start napping for longer again.
