DD not sleeping at childminder

[abracadabra]

My dd has been in a good routine of two daytime naps since the age of six months. She is now 12 mths and started at childminder three weeks ago when I went back to work. The first week she slept fine there, but the second week she would not settle for the morning nap and slept for only 30-45 minutes at the afternoon one (normally has 1.5 to 2 hours). This has continued this week. She seems very happy with the childminder so I think it's more because she's excited and doesn't want to miss anything that because she's not relaxed. She is still sleeping fine at night, but I'm worried that she will suffer from not getting enough sleep in the daytime - she is still awfully small to be sleeping so little in the day. What do you think?

As a childminder myself my first thought was do you use blackouts? Only another childminder near me had the same problem and when I ask does she have them, she said no

But when she asked the mum, at home the little one did, she has now put some up in the room baby sleeps and will sleep a good 1 1/2 - 2 hours in afternoon like did for mum at home (as in the baby sleeps not childminder or mum hehe
