Baby wont nap in travel cot... any ideas?

My LO is 8 months old and is a really good sleeper usually. However I am now back at work and my mum is taking care of the baby at her house.

DD's routine is like this at home:

7am - wake
9.45-11 nap
2.30pm-4pm nap
7pm bed

However, since being at my mums (in a travel cot) she is only napping for half hour each time. She then ends up overtired and a nightmare for the rest of the day.

I thought it may be different for her at first so gave it time, she sleeps with a sleeping bag, has a mini bed routine and my mum takes very good care of her. I also purchased a thicker mattress than the one the travel cot came with.

Any ideas? Do I need to get a second hand cot with new mattress and try that?

Could your mum look after her at your house so she's in her own cot?
