AIBU to want to say something when I pick DD up in a short while?

[lozzylizzy]

DD (3) has just began her 30 hours of nursery but she has a settling in period which was arranged before the summer holidays (she did 15 hrs before) Monday was an inset day so I had a slip of paper stating the settling in days and times and it stated that Tuesday (the first day) was all day, Wednesday part day and Thursday all day. I wrote it on my calendar and binned the slip.

Just getting stuck into the kids bedrooms (I have changed my hours from evenings to days starting next week) and I get a phone call. It was 11.30 when the morning session finished saying that she wasn't meant to be there all day and for me to pick her up. I felt awful and the nursery teacher said 'Oh these things happen' but she sounded like she was passing the blame to me (and rightly so if I got it wrong)

Anyway I found out today from another nursery child's grandparent that the same happened to her and another boy but they must have arrived to pick up before me.

I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter now, it was yesterday and it's done with. I also don't want to look troublesome but I am a little annoyed that I was made to feel like I was being lax when actually they must have known all along that they had cocked up!!!!

Sounds like they made an admin error. I wouldn't be impressed that they couldn't either just apologize, or honour what had been agreed initially. What would have happened if you'd been out all day and couldn't get back? Also - why only half days? It's 30 hours so why not just start with that? Sounds a bit of a mess to be honest!

If it was their mistake you should point it out. No need to make a big deal out of it but if you are sure you noted it down right you should say something like "It was no problem for me to pick up DD at lunchtime yesterday but the timetable you gave me indicated she was due a whole day. Shall we confirm the hours for the whole week to make sure we are on the same page?".

I thought I had noted it down right but then I did question myself when she said I had got it wrong. There were at least two other kids' parents that thought the same so its too much of a coincidence that we were all wrong.
