We don't like the leave to cry method

The best option that involved no crying would be planned cosleeping.

How about a sidecar cot? You can take one side off most cots and wedge them up to your bed to make the cot an extension of your bed.

If you want baby sleeping independantly in the cot anytime soon, it's going to involve some crying. That could be crying with you there, or crying without you there. But crying none the less.

Should mention she screams when we put a grow bag on and try's to climb out of her cot she is 77 cm tall and she cot bed is as low as it can go also it's at the bottom of my bed

We try to put her down sleeping at 7.30-8 pm but if we get her in the cot it's a victory
She moves around a lot in her sleep and I can't sleep for fear she will tumble off my bed

Maybe try the new mattress on the floor thing a lot of people are doing these days and let her tire herself out then if she moves a lot she won't fall too far but maybe have some cushions at the side of the mattress too.
