Help with adjusting routine

Really need some advice. So my girl goes to nursery Monday and Tuesdays 1-5.30. she has always had the routine of napping at around 11-12.30/45. She wakes around 6/7, and bedtime is at 8 (due to me finishing work so late). BUT, all of a sudden she's now refusing to sleep and wanting to sleep at around 12.30 which is then way too late and won't work. I don't know what to do... As if I risk trying to get the nursery to get her to nap but it's a loud and bright room so highly doubtful and then I'd have to deal with a very stressed and tired toddler for a hour before drop off, or just keep trying and trying to force the earlier nap? Please help. Stressing me out :(

You can't really force an early nap. If she's not tired she won't sleep. You could wake her up earlier so she is tired at 11:30am, but then she'd be short on nighttime sleep if she isn't getting to bed until 8pm.

What do you do with her in the mornings. You could try something really active on those morning like softplay or swimming so she's tired earlier.

Could you get her to sleep in the buggy or car from 12pm maybe and then just wake her up at 1pm when it's time to go to nursery.
