Help pre school/or nursery dilemma

Help! Advice needed
Lo has started local pre school where older siblings go and she will too
However she does a day and half private still as it works for work! And been going for a year and loves it settled etc.
Now my problem is after she is shattered after the days at both venues falls asleep on the way home 4pm ish and then is a nightmare screaming etc
Seems happy when she’s there but terrible mood after and tears on drop off!! They both require two days which means she’s doing four days! I don’t need that much and now wondering if I have made a terrible mistake doing too much too soon! what would you do? Perseverance? Both day she’s happy and enjoys it when there? But two places I’ve since heard not great/ confusing etc
it’s just her siblings go to the school and she will too including around 20-25 out out of the class she will be in will go there! She also has a speech delay and is behind in her development in a lot of ways
the private placement seems to be more play and the school more structured and learning plus they have a speech development program and a lady that visits there twice a week to do work with the children that requires help with their language skills.
. but on the other hand we now love the other nursery and staff where she’s been going and it’s open all year not just term time and she goes 1-2 days in the holidays.
Would you pick one?
I just don’t know what one I’d choose 😞 both are good but in v different ways

Choose the one where SALT visit as the more help they get the better

Thanks this is the school which I’d probably choose however they are not flexible in terms of days and hours and do only school hours term time so that’s the tricky part! Feel like I’m a bit stuck really
