To think this is odd for the nursery to have asked?

We went on holiday at the start of June and I forgot to tell the nursery on the Friday (we went on the following Monday). I did mention it to the staff in the room (DD is 2.5) but it obviously wasn’t passed on the reception. They rang in the afternoon of the Monday to ask if everything was ok as it was unusual for us not to be in (DD is usually in mon to Thurs and sometimes Fri) I explained we were on holiday and they said ok have a nice time. I’ve felt really weird about it since it happened as it was like they were checking up on me?! She’s not at school so we don’t have to take her in yet. Am I being a bit paranoid here? Would your nursery do this? Is it normal?

What exactly are you upset about? 🤨

i assume checking for children/staff raitos. Not odd in the slightest, your own reaction is a bit odd.

It's safeguarding basic 101 to find out where a child is that is expected in.

How nice of them - and it safeguarding
if they’re not expecting an absence a check in, is the right thing to do
Sounds like an excellent nursery
