Anyone have a suggested settling in schedule for a 9 month old?

My dd2 is not settling well at my child minder. I am not prepared for this, her sister never looked back!
My cm has only ever had one baby who struggled (so bad she didn't agree to look after her).

I have a month before I go back to work. Does anyone have a settling in schedule that works for clingy babies. Thanks

Little and often.

I have mum and baby round a couple of times, usually once for paperwork and then again for a lunch date. Then shortly after we do 2 hour sessions with a quick drop off and mum goes and does something for herself, haircut, nails, work clothes shopping etc.

Then we just go in to the full hours. Not all are settled but usually enough we can muddle through.

Thank you! I think I need to spend a bit more time at the setting with her. Would it help if my partner did some of the settling do you think?

Normally I suggest a couple of settling in sessions for a couple of hours each and that’s fine. If parent felt more were necessary and I had the space, I guess a couple of hours, two or three times a week for a couple/few weeks? I have found that sometimes they just need to be with me as they would normally be (so if they are going to be full time, just go into those hours), as the more time they are with me, the quicker we get used to each other.
What happens when you leave your dd with the minder? Have you done that yet?

I left her today, she was until she woke from her nap and was then inconsolable. I went back and she was fine whilst I was there. Going again on Thursday straight after nap, will stay a bit longer, and do more of a gradual retreat

I find the hanging around after a couple of initial meetings just delays things and makes it worse I say to mum always say a cheery goodbye then go wait outside and if baby isn't settled we do only an hour then just do more of these building to 2, 3, 4, hours at baby's pace. That way baby gets used to you going and knows you will come back.

Today went alot better. My partner took her and she played happily even whilst he was not in eye shot. Was happy in my childminders arms. She got a bit grumpy towards the end, but I suspect that was because it was getting to nap time. I think we will get there, just going to take a bit longer.
