Baby can't sleep in creche

[MrsMelonBall]

Hi
My 11 month old started say creche a few weeks ago. She goes 4 days a week, and is starting to settle in now, and seems happy overall. However, when they give me the update each evening, they always say she couldn't sleep at all, or she got max 30 mins.
At home, she'll nap for up to 3 hours, spread over 2 naps, and also sleeps 11/12 hours at night. She's slept in her own room, in a cot, after a bottle since 6 months. So it's not a case that she'll only fall asleep in me/in pram etc.
The problem is in the creche there's 8 other babies and they all go down at different times. She's such a light sleeper and will wake if you even enter the room quietly.
Has anyone else experienced this and overcome it? Or any creche workers that are used to this and have seen it improve with time?
By the time I collect her she's absolutely shattered and exhausted.

Are you in the UK ?
To me, a 'creche' is somewhere a child goes perhaps while you are at a meeting or spending 45mins in the gym. It seems strange to go to a creche every day.
Is this a Day Nursery ?
That is one of the disadvantages of a Nursery over a childminder - they are dealing (usually) with far more dc, so it isn't so easy to tailor the day around any one particular child.
That said, children do tend to adapt quite well.
Though, maybe, at 11 months, she doesn't need 11 - 12 hours at night and 3 hours in the day ?

I think she will settle in. It's only been a few weeks. I would say it took both of mine about 3 months to full settle in. She'll get used to sleeping when there is lots going on. Mine goes to a nursery with about 20 other children. The benefit is they have more than one person on hand who can help settle the napping ones to sleep while the other keeps an eye on the others. I often get pictures of him sleeping on a mat in the shade while children run around the garden screaming all around him. She will adjust, or will just make up for it by sleeping long at night.

My toddler started nursery 2 days a week about 2 months ago. He still isn't up to 'full' naps while he's there. We have changed his home schedule little to mirror their timings, to try and help a bit, but he's just not comfortable there yet. He will go for one sleep cycle of about 30-45 minutes, but can't resettle himself because it's still unfamiliar to him.

He's generally a bit more tired the following day, but otherwise there's no problems, he loves being there and has a great time, so as long as he's happy, I don't worry too much.

It took my dd 2 months to nap.properly at nursery, then suddenly one day it clicked.

Just adjust your schedule at home to compensate for the lack of sleep

Mine consistently refused to sleep in the cot room at nursery. They started putting him down with the kids in the next room up, who all napped at the same time on mats on the floor. Worked beautifully.

Ask the staff what they think would work - yours can't be the first child to struggle napping there. Let them try a few different things.
