DD being sent home from nursery

On the weekend of the 19th DD (3) came down with symptoms of hand foot and mouth. I let nursery know that we would keep her off that week and what she had.

Our other two came down with the same (5yo and baby) and eldests school suggested keeping him off that week as its a SEN school and the Early Years groups have alot of close contact and mouth toys etc. That was no problem.

Fast forward to today both children go back to school and nursery, they're completely over it now and the rashes are gone.

20 minutes after DH dropped DD to nursery en route to work I get a call from them asking what illness she was off with last week.

I reminded them that i'd already told them, it was hand foot and mouth.

Nursery assistant replies that they've had a few children off with that recently (that'll be where DD got it from) and that the children who had it aren't allowed back into nursery until the 5th December.

Nobody bothered to tell us that.

The only response I received when telling them DD wouldn't be coming in last week was them saying thanks for letting them know.

AIBU to think this is really shit of them?

They have to be over cautious. It can make some children seriously ill resulting in strep A meningitis or sepsis. As has been happening. Just because your child is ok there's always that risk they are still contagious and pass it onto other children who won't be ok. Be grateful it's not your child fighting for they're life.
