She will be pleased to have you go home and leave her at playgroup after having you there for a while to give her confidence in her new surroundings and allow her to make friends with children and adults.
She will progressively develop into a self-assured and autonomous youngster if she can fit into the playgroup gently and cheerfully.
Please wait in the Reception Area until we open the door so that the sessions can begin punctually at 9am.

For a two and a half year old, it can be rather upsetting to be the last child waiting to be picked up.
