18m will not settle at night

Hi everyone
My 18m lil girl will not settle at night
She settles really quick at home and in nursery for her lunchtime nap, she has 1 a day, but come bedtime she will not settle.

We've never changed her routine, it's usually Bath books, cuddles then milk in her room and bed.
She's always fallen asleep on milk but maybe 6m stopped and would just like a little cuddle and then fell asleep quite quickly. That's always worked really well for us. But now it's taking over an hr every night. She is tired, sometimes is just tossing and turning and cannot get comfy, she will get in and out of cot 283747272 times, until she eventually just passes out.
Since hitting 18m we had a very bad, night terror/separation anxiety/teething phase all at once but this has settled but the falling asleep has not.

Can anyone recommend anything (crying it out is not an option) she is very relaxed so it's not a stimulation thing.
Would changing to cot bed from cot help????

Sometimes I think that CIO is mentioned so many times that it can be easy to think it's the only way, but it definitely isn't. We had some success with The No Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers & Preschoolers.
