Help settling at nursery

[1980cat]

Dd has just started nursey at the local primary school and is finding it difficult to settle.
This wouldn't be a problem if I could stay with her for a longer period of time but I'm due to go back to work full time in four weeks. Orignally my idea was to have her in nursey till 11.30 and have a childminder collect her and take her until 3.30 when my mum finshed work and for her to keep her till Dp finshed work at 6.00.
She has been at nursey nearly two weeks now and is still screaming when I leave the room. The nursey is a small room attached to the primary school with only two nursey nurses for the 16 children and I feel they don't always have the time to take Dd if she starts crying, and I just now worry that I' going to have to go through the whole thing again when we get a childminder.
My other option is to get a full time place in another nursery for her and have my mum collect her from there. Just think this would be less stressful for her than all the changing about but mean I have to try an settle her somewhere else.
Anyone had problems getting the children to settle at nursery and what did you do?

Also don't want to offend the nursery she is in at the moment as my mum is a teacher at the school and knows the nursey staff well.

Do the nursery say what she does when you leave? Does she settle quicly or is she unhappy for a while - what is she like when you go to pick her up? It took ds (then 2yrs8ish)(normally no shrinking violet!) a good 2 weeks to settle at nursery - but the staff always said he was ok when I wasn't there, iykwim. We just perservered ... but I must say, our nursery were quite keen to 'eject' mums asap rather than let them stay and help settle the children after the first few days as they felt it often made things harder. They weren't militant about it, but that was the general approach.
I have one friend who's ds still yells everytime he's left, but is happily playing 30 seconds later...
How old is your dd?
Have you asked the nursery how they are handling it/what they recommend - I'm sure they wouldn't be offended if you said it was worrying you ...
