We have been looking in to going to forest holidays.
We can only go the weekend and you can only book Friday -Monday.
We can’t get the Monday off so will have to only stay the Friday -Sunday.
Check out is normally 10am Monday.
We spoke to someone today and they daid it will be the same price Fri-Sunday as Friday -Monday as they don’t offer 2 nights -which is absolutely fine but they have said we have to check out by 10am Sunday.
So I’m confused if we have paid till 10 am Monday ..why can’t we stay till 3pm Sunday and leave ?
Aibu to think this is silly ?

It is annoying but we end up staying longer on the Sunday when its like this, so its not all a loss.

That's also fine to arrive a day late but earlier than normal check in time. Like you said, it's yours for the whole duration. Maybe give the reception team a heads up that you're arriving early the next morning so that they know not to chase you for non arrival.
Reception won't be manned overnight so they need to know if you need the key leaving out for you overnight.

Yep, did all that.

Security team took a while to find our details but we soon had our keys and kids in the pools

@jbm16no they said we have to pay for the Monday but if we are leaving on Sunday will have to leave 10am Sunday (not anytime we want )

You've misunderstood. I've been on these holidays several times, forest holidays and centre parks all operate like this. You book Friday-Monday (3 nights) with check out by 10am on Monday. That is the latest you can check out. You can leave earlier if you want to.

A 4 night break is Monday - Friday and you have to be out by 10am Friday. Count the nights, not the days, that's what you are paying for.
