Well it doesn't sound over the top or dramatic to me. I can totally understand, Everyone is different, maybe you and I are over protective worried mumma bears, but you know what? Its just how I am. I don't 'have' to leave my kids anywhere so I don't if it doesn't feel right. Some people don't have that luxury of choice.
By the time she has to go to kinder, she'll be able to communicate and tell people what she feels and needs. It's so much easier leaving them when they are a little more independent. ( as I am just now discovering. )
Right now you are her world and protector. It's hard to find someone to understand her and care for her in the same way you do.

That is exactly it. I thought she would enjoy playing witht he other kids, she is so outgoin at mothers group. But I am there with her and the kids are all her age and she has known them since she was 6 weeks old. This was different.
wysiwyg - You are right, the gym creche only has the kids for 2 hours at a time tops so they dont really need to get to know the kids if that makes sense? I think i expected too much, all I have experience in is friends taking children to daycare so I expected them to be a bit more interested in her.
Plus. I think she is the most awesome little girl on this planet. It was kind of upsetting to have her be part of a "herd" of kids and have them not be that impressed by her
That sounds like a pretty crappy creche honestly. Then again, it could have just been one bad day, and your own reservations about it all making it seem so much worse?
There are supposed to be regulations about the number of kids they can have per carer, particularly those under 1yr.
My kids used to go to the creche at the gym, but it was a fabulous one. 2 of my kids have always loved it. One of them (my ds1) always hated it. Would scream and carry on the whole time. It was very distressful for him, yet he has always been confident and outgoing while I'm present. I ended up having to stop taking him for six months. We tried again after that and he was much better, although he would often spend the whole hour at the window keeping an eye on me. The thing it taught me though, was if your child doesn't like it, don't push the issue if you can - give it a bit of time and try again later.
