AIBU for being mad at nursery re. Carseat storage?

Hi all.
LG #2 (10 months) has just started nursery today! My husband and I are both shift workers and apart from rare days whoever drops off doesn't pick up due to the shifts.
My husband dropped her off this morning and left the carseat there. No biggie right?
I picked her up and they told me that we couldn't leave the carseat there because they didn't have a dedicated storage room.
Now, I didn't ask when registering her if we could leave the carseat, but I've never known a nursery to not allow you to leave a pram/carseat! I toured a lot and all the other nurseries in the area have storage for prams/carseats - I guess I just forgot to ask 🤦‍♀️ We can't afford to buy another seat and have one in each car. AIBU being mad at them?
I'll probably have a word tomorrow and say we'll have to move her somewhere else if we can't sort out something out until she grows out of the size 0 carseat (we have two of the size 1/2/3 seats already) so it won't be a problem in 3 months but I don't want to come across as a drama queen...
Thanks for any input/advice!

@drspouse I’d sympathize with the nursery if they wanted to avoid a parental stand-off every morning for those too late to get a space. In principle, every parent might want to use a space. And there are always people who push the limits of goodwill.

Ours was a tiny rural nursery that we all drove to, and I can’t think of any parents without 2 seats. It’s not really a problem worth having for the sake of 60 quid - just buy a bloody seat!

We don't have storage at our nursery. We could keep maybe 1 car seat in the hallway but pushchairs need to br left outside. You are being V V unreasonable sorry.

YABU to have just assumed. Whilst on the face of it it might seem a trivial thing and 'no trouble' it's actually mild CFery. Imagine if 10 parents did this! I realise this makes your logistics challenging but unfortunately it's your problem to deal with.
