Nursery affecting sleep? Separation anxiety?

My 12 month old has been in nursery for a few weeks now and his sleep is shocking now. He used to sleep through consistently and now he’s up sometimes 2/3 times a night and sometimes every hour!!
settles fast when I comfort him, but I’m at my wits end! The only thing I can think of is some sort of separation anxiety?
he naps at nursery - not as well as at home, but my parents took him for a night this weekend and he slept through for them. A friend had him 1 night the weekend before and he slept through. Just not for me!!
anyone else experienced this or have any advice?!
help 😩

Also going through a bad stage with sleep! Not sure if its separation anxiety, teething, developmental or something else but I'm exhausted. Some nights are just awful and I'm up every 1-2hours. No idea what's going on but hopefully it ends soon! Has he dropped to 1 nap yet?

I feel your pain :( no he’s not dropped to one nap officially yet. He is miserable on 1 nap and so so tired, but sometimes he won’t nap twice at nursery so I have to deal with the fallout in the evening! During the weekend when he has 2 naps he still isn’t sleeping through like he used to either
