Doesn’t want to go to creche?

My little girl just turned 3 and I've took her to a creche once a week for the first time 4 weeks ago. I'm a SAHM and was always there for her, so she is quite attached to me. The first time at creche went ok. The teachers said there were a few tears but but when I picked her up she was quite happy and wanted to go back there. Second time was ok, third time (last week) wasn't so good - it was really hard to leave, she was very clingy and today when I asked her if she wanted to go to playgroup, she said: No, I don't like it there. I tried to find out why but she just won't tell. I'm not sure, how to handle this, I don't want to force her, but I'd like her to get used to being away from me for a while and socialize with other kids. Any ideas?

most kids go through a "honeymoon" period when starting at any form of creche or daycare, they love it at first, but then reality sets in and they have a few rough weeks while they settle, the teachers should explain this to you, also only going one day a week could take her a really long time to settle, a lot of centres wont actually enrol children for one day, as the gap between visits is so long, all the centres i have worked at dont do single days..if it is important to you that she spends time with other children, and away from you i would just persevere, she will settle, the only other thing to think about is the christmas break, does the creche close down? if they do and she will be having a break over the summer, it may pay to just stop for the year, and start back next year nice and fresh, and when you can settle into a creche routine that will last longer than a few weeks..
