Would you be upset if your daycare provider bathed your child without permission?

If I were the daycare provider and OP gets mad about this, I'd say it's not a good fit and part ways.

We went thru a phase with my infant where he was having diaper blowouts on the way to daycare. They would put him into the sink (this is in the infant room in the center) to clean him fully and more comfortably. I was often there for a few mins at the start. So, did not bother me in that setup.

This. If your kid is dirty enough that child care professionals thinks it warrants a bath, which is extra work for them, I would trust their judgment. If I didn’t trust their judgment on a bath, I would worry about leaving my kid in their care more generally.

This.

I let people babysit my kid, but I wouldnt let them give him a bath. He is 2.5 now and I would maybe be okay with it, but not younger than 18 months. I am vigilant about water safety and wouldnt trust others to do the same.

My child had a really bad blow out and I wasn't able to get off work to help take care of it. Sproutlings daycare and preschool did an amazing job at taking care of the situation and letting me know that they were going to bath my child before doing so. I didn't feel uncomfortable with them bathing my child, but they did let me know before hand.
