books for small children with nursery setting?

I'm looking for a picture book with a day nursery setting. my 2 yr old starts day care soon and I've drawn a blank on books that might normalise the experience. I can find starting preschool books but they all end with mummy comes and takes you home for lunch. I'd like something where the children have lunch at nursery and then play some more and daddy collects them in the evening. Maybe even with children having a nap at nursery.
Any one know of such a book?

Hi I have just dug out a book that may fit the bill

ISBN 9781405443418

ooh its on amazon too

www.amazon.co.uk/Nursery-Lets-Go-to/dp/1405443413/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1227440268&sr=8- 1

It says that they are off to nursery this morning...they do some painting. play in sandpit, have snacktime, then go outside and play. Then they have a story and at the end of the day go home.

Afraid no nap mentioned but it maybe worth looking it get. RRP is £1.99 but I go mine in an Asda book sale for £1!

I Forgot To Say I Love You has a nursery theme, although not much of the book actually takes place at the nursery. DS went through a period of really loving it, possibly because it was the only book I could find that featured a nursery at all.

My First Day at Nursery sounds promising, although I've not seen it.

I forgot to say .. I have got hold of. Its OK, fine on the separation bit but nothing much about spending time at nursery. Still carrying on with starting school books and changing words. he has two mornings next week then full time the week after. fingers Crossed.
