to be angry with nursery

[tibywibs]

So i'm on my way to collect my daughter from nursery and I saw some of the children and staff walking down the street. (not unusual, they often go for walks) when i get there i find my daughter on sat on a nursery nurses knee, crying. It turns out that ALL of the children who attended nursery on friday had gone out to the fair. As my dd was doing half a day, she was left behind in a room full of sleeping babies. They say they tried to phone me to say she'd be in the baby room but they obviously don't have the right number (i changed my number last year and they have called me on it since.)
i am so upset that they either didn't wait 5 mins until i collected her or asked me to come early or even offered to take her if i paid the extra fees.
she was sobbing and all weekend she has told me that her friends left her. I want to let them know how disappointed i am that an establishment that is supposed to care for children could be so insensitive.
Am i being pathetic??

I think it's weird a nursery taking kids to a fair.

If they have enough staff to do outings safely then why not?

I understand why you were upset by this OP, and the fact the nursery manager agreed it wasn't handle well shows that it could have been dealt with much better. When my DD went to nursery, she was there beyond the morning sessions, covering a little of the afternoon sessions and there were times the afternoon kids were going out etc. I was always told about these outings and given the option of letting her go. She was never made to feel left out, and never got upset by any session that she wasn't able to join in with because it wasn't handled the way your DD's nursery handled this.

Glad it's all been resolved now though.
