Transition 2y/o toddler to own bed

My nearly 2 year old currently sleeps in a cot in our room, and during the night will wake up and come into our bed. She takes all her naps in her cot in our room, but i’m pregnant with baby no.2 due in December, so we’re trying to transition her into her own room.

I made mine his own toy room with floor bed and projector for sensory calm videos. Baby gate on the door. Actual door open. And me next door. And i let him crack on with it. If he played until midnight for the first night or two, fine. The idea was get him used to it, make it his space. After that I set a routine. Bath book teeth milk book and one sensory calming video and he now just goes to bed. If this doesn't work get a chair and sit outside the baby gate, on the other side of the gate so she can see you, some earplugs, and read. No talking, no reactions, no soothing (you're already soothing by being there) make it silent and as boring as possible until she gives up and sleeps safe in the knowledge you're there. I didn't have to do that part but i would have
