My opinion will be the unpopular one but I think it's unprofessional overall.
You are a business and if you want clients to treat you as such, you should simply follow your hours. (unless you have really specific policies in regards to contracted hours and use of)
If your hours are 7:30-5:00, I think you should be ready for business at 7:30 whether customers are prompt or not.
You are still paid for that time so really it's not costing you anything. It's not even costing you sleep as you expected them anyways so they are the ones it is "costing".
I know everyone always says
"I could have got more sleep" or
"I could have slept in" and kind of like we tell parents "fix it on their end".
You could go to bed earlier if you are lacking sleep.
I am not saying any of that with the intent to be rude.
I just wanted to share my honest opinion about the topic.
I am sorry so many parents were late this morning... but I do think it was polite of them to let you know verses simply not showing up at all.
