behaviour problems at playgroup

my 2.5 year old is great at nursery, and at another group that i drop her off for 2 hours at. but there is one group in particular that is a mums and tots group (and its not just this group, but she is like this at other groups where i am there too) her behaviour is awful. its not like she is doing anything really really bad, just typical toddler stuff except to the extreme. trying to climb on the table like 20 times in a row, taking toys off other children, repeatedly trying to clime up the slide after she's been told she isn't allowed. she basically isn't listening to me at all, and it seems as though she is behaving like this just because i am there. then when we go to leave, and this happens every single time, she starts crying and running away and it takes about ten minutes to get her coat and shoes on and im the one carrying the screaming toddler out. its so humiliating - all the other kids seem so good. why is she like this with me? i do discipline her at home and give her clear boundaries. when we go out its just a nightmare and i get really upset afterward!

Tell her that you will leave if she does x or y and then carry it through.

I think I would avoid those groups for a few months if possible. Why make life stressful?

Could you take her swimming instead or soft play where she can burn off energy but little chance for toddler arguments over toys etc?
