3yr old not wanting to be separated from me since baby came along

Hi all- I'm after advice really. My eldest daughter is 3yrs old and has been to nursery since she was 7 months. She has always been very happy there. We have never had any real issues. Her sister is almost 6weeks. She is very loving and caring towards her sister and doesn't show any signs of jealousy.
The only problem we are having is that she no longer wants to go to nursery, to her ballet class, or with family, she wants to stay at home with me and the baby. We've tried giving her a special toy to take to nursery, we've tried giving her something to look forward to, the park, a magazine etc, but still every morning that she goes she breaks down in tears. I work in the nursery so the staff are honest with me and I know she's fine once shes there. It's just heartbreaking to see every morning. Any ideas on how to help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Not much advice apart from giving her lots of reassurance and cuddles when she is home. We were in a similar position with my DS not wanting to go to preschool and I told him I did the hoovering while he was out. He hated the Hoover and so was fine after that Smile
