Toddler started screaming at bedtime

My 2yo (27 months) has started screaming when I put him down at bedtime and leave the room. I’m doing the same thing I’ve always done - he’s in the same routine, same bed, has his cuddle toy, never had a problem. Now he screams the house down relentlessly.

Tends to be fine overnight although the other night he did wake up approx midnight and do the same thing. Settles quickly in our presence but the second we leave he’s screaming.

It is really distressing, and exhausting. Any tips please?

Our daughter (16 months) had just started doing something similar. We haven’t found a solution yet but we think it’s due to a cold or teething maybe. At the moment we’re going in every five mins to resettle and then she eventually goes down.
