Thank you so much to all of you for your sympathetic and constructive replies.
There are lots of ideas for us to try and I like the idea of the calendar and leaving one of our toys with her. I will also send her some postcards - I had forgotten that my mum used to do this for my children when we lived apart.
She is OK with us actually going, we do keep it brief and she doesn't get upset then, it's when it's bedtime that she gets upset.
I think it's separation anxiety and I will do a bit of research around this, for ways to reassure her.
Many thanks again - what a great space this is for support x
Well, well. Is it ‘global warming’ or ‘cloud seeding’?
