Picked child up from childminders yesterday and after a brief chat in the morning where I explained that they was impacted and was struggling, they announced on pick up they had given her Luctulose, didn't inform my of how much or what time and didn't even ask my permission or tell me she was going to do so.
Would you be annoyed, am I being unreasonable to be annoyed?
I hate confrontation and was also a little taken a back at the time so didn't say anything.
She has given me some in a syringe to give her at home when she was bunged up a few months ago but I didn't give it her as weren't sure it was for her age and just binned it

I couldnt get worked up over this. Lactulose is just sugar, it's very widely available even for small babies. Its not a drug, it's made from milk sugars, I think it's technically classified as a food supplement.

a mate has it prescribed- he takes it sometimes and it's pretty hardcore stuff
No, that would be Picolax.

A dose of lactulose will have done the kid no harm. Won't have done a blind bit of good either, if there's impaction. But the CM was wrong in principle.
