To feel this was inappropriate of childminder?

My 1 year old goes to a childminder 3 days a week Wednesday - Friday.

Wednesdays I have a meeting so pick her up 530. Thursdays I stay a bit later to plan and get organised, so similar pick up time. Fridays I pick her up a bit earlier at around 4.

Childminder has told me that it’s upsetting for my daughter to be the ‘last one’ and she feels she would benefit from me trying to get her a bit earlier. I’m really upset by it. AIBU?

Yanbu. And I say that as a former childminder. Somebody has to be last and none of the kids I had minded. They enjoyed having me to themselves! If she wants to finish earlier she needs to change her hours.

this childminder is being honest with you about what is in your daughter’s best interests
I like the sound of her
