Biting at nursery

[Mamainyorkshire]

Looking for advice..
My two year old has just started nursery and I've been told they're biting multiple times a day without any triggers. My child is around other children outside of nursery, family, friends kids, play groups and play areas and we don't have any issues with this outside of nursery. The nursery are adamant this is a sensory needs issue and feel my toddler has additional needs. I'm not sure I see any signs of this at home and we never have a problem with biting outside of nursery. It's seems to be becoming a massive issue and I'm not sure why or what to do, has anyone else gone through this or something similar ?
TIA

That's tough. My 1 year old bites when he is overtired and overstimulated or teething. He tries to bite everyone, the floor etc. He never, ever does it when he's rested and well. At the moment we say no, distract him and try to address the cause I.e. put him to bed or give calpol. So I wouldn't even know how to address this nursery situation, sounds like he's struggling there a bit.

Bumping in case anyone can help.

Sounds like the issue is at nursery. I was a nursery nurse and we had a few biting children, we’d tell them our mouths are for eating and talking not biting. Do you know if any other kids are biting or just your child?

I believe there's more than just mine but mine seems to bite more than the rest as in a lot of biting each day but they keep saying with no triggers

Normally I would say they know best as they have seen hundreds of children of a similar age, so they can see in no time. But he's so young, that is hard to spot things. It wouldn't just be the biting they would notice, even though that's obviously a safety concern.
Have they made any kind of recommendation for where to take it? It would be hard to get the GP to refer any this age without something blatant, but if they have access to a senco or educational psychologist then they could refer him that way.
I think don't focus on whether you think something is wrong, just accept whatever help they offer, and it will either help, he'll grow out of it anyway, or at least you'll be on the right path for support in future.
Is the nursery private or part of a school? School ones have a lot better access to support networks than private, if you have concerns.
It's a long road either way, and my philosophy is now to accept any support that's offered without questioning!

Biting is usually anger/frustration that they’re unable to express. How is her speech? She is also new at nursery and still settling so the frustrations might also die down as she learns the routines and how to get on with the other kids.

They've only been at nursery 7 days total so new to nursery, there's definitely a speech delay so it's hard to communicate but always seem to understand instructions like put this in the bin or let's put your shoes on so hard to communicate but not impossible

I think they probably do know best however it's not behavior we have at home only in nursery, for there to be absolutely nothing triggering it is very confusing for me as they've hit and bit in the past and it's been from being too tired or over sharing. It is possible to only show signs at nursery and only nursery ? Or is this possibly a settling in thing and not being comfortable yet. Their not always fully comfortable with certain staff but are absolutely fine with other members of staff
