Daycare messages all go to my partner, even though I'm the one at pickup every day

My partner filled in the admission form, so every message from daycare goes there first. Fever note, 'please send extra clothes', 'she didn't nap', all of it. My partner runs a business and is usually in meetings, so these get forwarded to me hours later, often after I've done pickup and found out in person anyway. I've asked twice to be made the main contact. They said yes both times and nothing changed 🤷 Has anyone managed to get a daycare to switch this?

    ask them to change it on the form itself, not just say yes. ours only updated when i filled a fresh contact sheet

    Noting this for later. We haven't even picked a daycare, but my partner will be home for the first year, so I can already see this happening to us the other way round

    we put my aunt's number down as a third contact, she lives with us, and somehow she gets everything first now. the daycare clearly worked out who actually answers.
