To be so upset with this nursery?

My dd started school last week (we live in Scotland) and I booked her into after-school care for the two days I am working. This includes pick-up from school. Today was the first day they were supposed to do this, but I was called by the school to say that she had been waiting to be picked up for 15 minutes, and what was happening.
Basically, the nursery had only put her down for one day, so didn't have her on their list. I went mental at the owner, as I had put it in writing as requested, and this is down to her disorganisation. Luckily I was working at home nearby so went to get her. The nursery was very apologetic and said that it hasn't happened before. I was literally shaking with anger for ages.
AIBU to still be really upset about this? It was a genuine mistake and the school doesn't let any child go off without someone they know, so they kept her in.
Dd loves school but is finding it to be a big change, she has had a few toilet accidents in class and had a horrible tummy bug at the weekend. I hate that her new routine was disrupted like this.
Should I just give myself a shake and say get over it? Please someone do it for me!

Well, I guess we all make mistakes, but if I was you I'd be equally as upset.

A shame - but a mistake. We all make them. No real harm done becuae the school had proper procedures in place to deal with it. And you can be sure they will be super careful from now on.

it is upsetting, i can totally see why you are distraught BUT it was a geniune mistake, they apologised, i bet it will never happen again and the school took care of your DD, you were just roudn the corner, so no real harm done

shaking with anger for ages seems to be a bit OTT as no harm done.

maybe if your DD had a bug and was hving accidents at school, you should have kept her home for a few more days ?

I do NTUABU. If this happened to me, they would not be uncertain how I felt.
