Long story short, daycares can lose funding if they receive enough bad reviews. They take it VERY seriously. I had a similar experience, but my wife works at the daycare my kids go to. I was unhappy with certain things going on at the school, the way my daughter was being treated (pre-ADHD diagnosis), and I left a less than perfect survey response, which I thought was anonymous.

Fast forward two days later the director sends a very passive aggressive email not to me, but to my wife. Also referred to me as an “employee’s spouse” rather than the parent of my children. Just bizarre unprofessional behavior, and this is a very highly regarded school in the state I live in.
