To expect my child doesn't watch tele at nursery?

My almost 3 year old has been attending the same nursery since we moved back to the UK from Australia last year. I'm happy with the nursery and he really likes it there, his wee brother who is 18 months started going a few months ago and I've had no complaints however tonight when I picked him up he was sat with 5 other kids watching cartoons on a large computer monitor, this is the third night in as many weeks that this has been the case.

He watches Tele at home of course although we do try to be on the stricter side but regardless of that Am I being unreasonable to expect that he doesn't watch tele at nursery?

I'm currently paying £1200 per month for them both to attend three days each as I work full time nightshift, kind of pisses me off to pay over a third of my salary to childcare and then find him sat watching tele.

Tv effects children differently. My two both react negatively to too much and some computer games. You know your child and you think it’s not good for them. It’s not a value judgement on others.

The tabloids have picked this up. Just a heads up, op.

It’s fine, it’s easy to have them all ready for pick up, parents collect and no faffing around.

A small bit of tv won’t harm your child, you’re paying them to mind your child whilst you’re at work so not sure what your issue is tbh, that’s exactly what they’re doing.
