My kids have been in 3 days day care since they were 10 months old - YES that is alot of unstructured free play time for a child care centre!!! I know at mine they have it broken up into hours - eg 9am morning tea, 9.30 puzzles/drawing/counting 10am run around outside if possible - 10.30 - that type of thing.
However, speak to the room leader about your concerns re other kids - was she trying to play with something that belonged in the junior pre-school room or something - maybe they were being possessive - perhaps the carers can direct her towards the kids her own age etc. Personally - I would try for a day and see how it goes, you can keep looking in the meantime and if it doesn't satisfy you - you do what is best for your DD!
