Childminder ‘shouted’ at toddler

No previous concerns with childminder. Today she advised she had to ‘shout’ at my child. Her words. She explained that an an outing to a local community centre, my child wasn’t getting attention from someone who works at the centre and therefore had a tantrum. Childminder then had to ‘shout’ at child to make them stop having a tantrum. Am I being ‘wet’ in worrying a childminder should not ‘shout’ at my kid? By all means, manage behaviour but ‘shouting’?! When I picked my kid up she was v clingy. I’m not soft, I raise my voice at my kids and I regret it and apologise. I don’t want anyone to ‘shout’ at
my toddler unless they are in immediate danger. Definitely okay with dealing with behaviour in
an appropriate way. But ‘shouting‘ at a toddler seems aggressive.

@Tootiredmummyof3 My dc are now in university so, no, I don't need to come back to tell you what it's like when they get to secondary school thanks

And I very rarely shouted & never when they were toddlers.

Wow you're marvelous. So never had your child run off as a toddler? Never had them go for a hot pan or kettle? Never had them try and eat something they shouldn't? In all those it's reasonable to shout no or stop now.
I don't believe you never shouted at them.
