For a member of staff to kiss a child (17 months old) on the temple.

Babies need kisses and cuddles. If you can't be there to do it then whoever is looking after your child should do it instead.

A kiss on the mouth would be completely unacceptable obviously, but on the forehead or temple is fine.

I wouldn’t say it’s inappropriate, you may find it weird because you don’t really know them but your child does. For your child there’s no real difference between them and their family. They probably spend more time with nursery staff than grandparents and (most) people wouldn’t find a grandparent kissing a baby weird.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a peck on the forehead. Be pleased that the nursery worker likes your DC enough to do this!

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s inappropriate personally. I didn’t do it when I worked in a nursery & can’t remember any other staff doing it. It wouldn’t have bothered me if that was my child though.

Hugging of course but isn’t kissing too much?

Nope, I wouldn't say it is.
You're free to ask them not to though

Gosh I loved that mine were hugged and kissed by people who loved them whilst I was working
