Nursery or me -disorganised?

Maybe it's me being disorganised but I have just had a total nightmare dropping off DD at her nursery jubilee party. They said it was at their other building-which is for the older primary kids. So I looked on their website and went to that-was all shut up. Tried to call them no answer. Went to the nursery-no one there-all at the other mysterious building. Anyway found it after an hour!!
AIBU to expect there to be a number I can call them on? No mention of this buildings address anywhere on their website or information they gave me.
What if I need to call them now-their would be no way of contacting them! Is it me or is that just nuts?
Quite concerned in general about the nursery. There have been issues with security-a child left the building once behind me and my DD once by mistake and I had to take her back in. Plus on these party days I am unsure they have the right amount of staff ratio to children.
I have just emailed them to ask about that in particular.
Am I being a silly anxious parent or is this all kind of normal?

That is the kind of fuckwittery that drives me nuts.
It's not disasterous, but if you don't know the other building, how the hell would you know where to go to as you don't have older children!

Tell them in future that parents need more specific instructions, things aren't always obvious to parents, and that there should be updated info on the website with numbers etc. I wouldn't be fuming, but I'd be cross it was all a bit disorganised.
(Just make sure before you do a rant that this info wasn't handed out and you just shoved it in a pile. That happens to me quite a bit. Blush

Wait until you get to school-age and the assumptions that you know what's going on are legion. "Y2 children always wear plimsolls and lederhosen on the second Thursday in the month. Didn't you know?"

Yeah I hate this kind of thing. When everyone knows stuff and you don't. Sounds like poor communication.

Just checked all the info I was given -no address there. Would it mark me out as an annoying parent if I spell all this out to them?

No, you deserve an apology and assurances about what will be done next time.

Yes, point it out, but in a non-ranty way.
