Communication around extra help needed

I have a 2 year old daughter (soon to be 3) with a language delay. I recently took her for a hearing test and it was confirmed that she has glue ear causing her to have a moderate hearing loss. I'm aware that's quite common in this age group. We were given some advice to pass on to nursery eg that when instructions are given to the children, my DD should be pulled aside and told 1-to-1 so she can concentrate on the words and lip movement.
So I called the nursery manager and informed her of all of this. The next day my DD was in, so I spoke to the room leader (who is also SENCO) and found out that none of the information had been relayed. I was annoyed but put it down to the short amount of time. However I spoke to another regular worker in the room later that week and found out that she had no knowledge of my daughters difficulties, so the room leader had not informed the other members of staff either.
Am I right to be really annoyed by this? Not really sure where to go from here.

Possibly they have a meeting scheduled and they will discuss it then
A few days is not going to make any difference
I’m not sure what you want to happen
You’ve told the nursery, leave them to do their jobs

If they are waiting to have a meeting it would be fairly easy to communicate that to me. I'm not going to wash my hands and hope they do their job when it's my toddler that needs support.

I don’t hunk you should wash your hands and I haven’t suggested that
What I have suggested is that you appreciate the nursery staff are professionals and are well aware of how to meet the needs of individual two year olds
You don’t need to check up on them to make sure they are doing their jobs
You could probably ask how she is responding to being given direct instructions
It wouldn’t surprise me if they said they already do this. Most two year olds need direct instructions
