Live-out nannies partner meeting up in the park

A new nanny has just started this week with my kids. She has been having a few hours with them this week and I start fulltime work soon.
Today she had them all day while dh and I were out. When we came back she mentioned that she hadn't met her dp since yesterday as he was on night shift so he came round and they met up in the park when she had taken my kids there.
It made me uncomfortable. She's the one with the crb, references etc - not her partner. But then he was just there for a little while and she was always with the kids. But what if it progresses if I don't say anything and in winter he comes over to my house?
She had earlier said that she could maybe meet her kids in the park in the summer holidays and I had said ok.
She is a live-out nanny and has 4 kids (2 daughters 18 and 23 - also a nanny and 2 boys -16 and 12). The 12 year old would miss her and she would meet up with him at the park maybe during the summer holidays was what she had said.
Should I say something? Lay down some ground rules (what rules??) or aibu?

If your nanny takes the DC out of the house, she will meet people. If she goes to toddler group with the DC, she will meet people. I don't quite understand what your problem is with your children encountering members of the nanny's family when they are in her care. is it that you think she;s common and want to minimize the number of peasants your DC encountaer>
