At her age I would put her on a schedule and stick to it. I would expect her to protest it. She has a right to her opinion. At my house her schedule would be a morning nap from arrival until nine a.m. and then an afternoon nap from 12:15 to 2:45. I would pop her into her bed with her belly full, diaper changed, outdoor time under her belt before the afternoon nap, and a rockin floor based play program in the morning.
As long as I know I did all of the above I would gladly lay her down on that schedule and not waiver from it because she said no to it. She's a baby and doesn't know what is best for her. I'm an experienced child care provider and a full grown adult...... I know what's best for her.
Have confidence in yourself and be open to a baby having a different opinion. They surely will and they have every right to it. Don't take her protesting personally. Don't try to interfere with her protesting. I personally wouldn't hold her at ALL off of the floor. I would only hold her when I was sitting on the floor and would NOT walk her around or rock her. I would make sure I held her at the same amount I held all the other kids but no more or no less. Just the same.
She's in group care now so the adult won't replicate what she has in one to one parental care. She's a human baby and she can adapt back and forth from one to one parental care to group "others" care when given the opportunity to and the expectation to.
