Reception child released at end of day before parent had got there

At the end of the day in my dc’s reception class all the parents wait outside the classroom in the playground and the teacher releases the children once she’s seen the child’s parents.
Today a child was released but his parent hadn’t arrived yet, he wondered around for about 20 seconds before several other parents realised what had happened and sent him back into the classroom.

i know nothing bad actually happened and it was spotted very quickly but it’s left me feeling a bit disconcerted and anxious. I feel like I want to email the teacher or something but I’m not sure to what ends, she obviously realised she made a mistake when the child went back in classroom.
Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill, or am I right to feel that this was a bit of a crap thing to happen?

20 seconds? You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Agree with this.

You don’t need to email at all! The teacher will be feeling shit enough as it is. No harm done.

I don't think there's any need to make the teacher feel worse.
