AIBU?

to expect a creche to change my lad's nappy?

My lad is 20mo, and I've just started putting him in a creche for an hour whilst I swim once a week. I was really nervous about it, have suffered from severe PND and the thought of leaving him made me feel physically sick.Went to register him (you have to do this 24hours in advance of needing the place) and the lass commented on him looking older than he is, as he's very tall and quite chatty. He went to the creche, no problem, happy as Larry to go off and play, but when I picked him up, I could smell him the moment they opened the door! I changed him before we got in the car to go home and he'd obviously been sat in it for a while-very red and sore. He makes a HUGE fuss of pooing-pulls faces, grunts etc, and as I mentioned, I could smell him as soon as I walked in-there was only him and a tiny baby there, so they can't have failed to notice, surely? AIBU to expect them to have noticed and changed him before I got there?

Thanks for replies everyone, took him again today, and noticed that there's a changing bed on the wall in the baby area, so I raised last week's incident. Apparently they hadn't noticed he'd pooed-seems a bit unplausible, but they were very apologetic. They did raise the fact that my lad is quite heavy to lift onto the changing bed, so I said they were welcome to change him on the floor or get someone to put a tannoy out for me in the pool and I'd come up asap. See how it goes....

At our swimming pool, the creche doesn't do nappy changes. They don't have the facilities and don't have the staff. It is only for one hour, two at most. So generally speaking the kids should be okay I presume.
