Buildig a sense of security is really the only way to deal with it, and that's pretty much what you're doing from the sound of things.
IN a way, it's reassuring that she is so demanding of her carer - she obviously feels more secure with her.
My dd is 15 months and was very similar. She didn't scream to that extent after I was gone or so they told me anyway but she would get very upset when I dropped her off. I think you are def doing the right thing by encouraging her with the Teddy. Dd has a duck which I give her as soon as we get to day care and then I give her to her favorite carer. I give her a kiss while she is in the carers arms and tell her I will pick her up later. Even if she is screaming and trying to grab me I still give her the kiss and say that and leave her in the carers arms. Then as I walk out the door the carer distracts her with all her favourite things there, the fish, drawings on the walls etc. By the timei get to the door she is so distracted by everything that she forgets that she was upset.
I never walk out without kissing her and saying goodbye but the distractions really work well and having the duck is a def bonus.
Good luck with your little one. It does pass and she will be ok again. We moved a the same time as well so I feel your pain. But i honestly believe it is worse for us than it is for them! I used to cry as well when I got back to the car! Hahaha xo
