Parent uproar over rainy day play! HELP!

As a school nursery we really promote our outdoor learning providing lots of different experiences for the children to take part in. There is an outdoor slot for each group where the children spend some time outside- weather adaptable. On home visits we make this clear to patents that we go outside whatever the weather and children need appropriate clothing (eg waterproofs). We do have some sets of waterproofs spare, but not many. Children also have a spare set of clothes hanging on their pegs incase they get wet. The other day we went outside as we usually do and the rain really came down- we took Shelter- but we did get wet!! When we came in children were changed into dry clothes. The children absolutely loved being in the rain but we werent out long- about 10mins. The day after a parent made a complaint to my head saying that I had made her child ill by taking him out in the rain. I have since spoken to her and reminded her about her home visit and how we had explained our outdoor play philosophy. She said that she did want her child to play outside- and he loves playing in the rain- but she thought that the other day was ridiculous. I'm just wondering if anybody has had similar issues with parents with outdoor play? We are very sensible with it and don't keep children out for long in cold weather etc. and also do our best to dress them appropriately if they haven't come to nursery in the correct clothing. Any help, advice, support would be very much appreciated!
