Move dd to newly opened nursery after 3 months at current nursery?

My dd, who is now 15 months, started nursery 3 months ago doing 3 days a week. We've had the expected tears at drop off for a few weeks but she is now getting used to it and seems happy although exhausted and often fractious on pick up. It's a local nursery and a few children from our neighbourhood go and rate it as a good establishment. However 3 of the baby room carers have recently left on mat leave including the room leader and I've noticed that things there seem more chaotic recently, plus I'm really not a big fan of DD's key worker who is now the room leader.

A new nursery, part of a local chain, opens in a few weeks time. It has a kitchen on site and lovely airy rooms and good garden. From the Facebook page of this nursery chain it looks like a good organisation. Our current nursery shares a building with a theatre and is a bit cramped and shabby. Would you consider moving your child and if so how soon? Should I give things time to see if things settle at her current nursery and for the new nursery to get more established?
