The Labour Court dismissed Hayley Simmonds’s appeal on 1 July 2025 over her complaint that Home From Home Childcare Limited penalised her by transferring her from the Montessori Year 1 Room to the Wobbler Room. Simmonds said a letter raising workplace complaints and a child-safety concern was a protected disclosure and that the transfer followed because of it. The Court found the staffing changes were made for operational reasons before the employer received her letter; the appeal failed.
