Daughter's first passport - fast-track

Hi, I am due to apply for my daughter's first British passport after her registration under section 1(3). I wanted to know if I am required to take my daughter to the IPS centre on the appointment date? Also, is there a provision to ask for the Passport to be collected from the IPS or it is UKBA's/Home Office's policy to send the passport by courier only?
Thanks for any advise you can offer.
