New to childcare - advice please

Hi,
So i am new to childcare and just started a traineeship 1 week ago. My daughter is enrolled at the same centre i work in. Today as i was in the Kindy room i could see my daughter in the next room playing. My daughter approaches another girl who is holding two wooden blocks in her hands. The girl holding the blocks smacks my daughter repeatedly in the face. I stood there shocked and watched to see what the other educators would do in that situation. Both educators witnessed that happening but did nothing. They didn't correct that girls behaviour or even take the blocks off her. My daughter was left crying so i walked in and asked the room leader if she is going to do anything about what just happened and she said if she approaches that child she is afraid she is going to get attacked...
I was furious and just picked my child up to comfort her. I went to see the director afterwards to tell her what happened.
That afternoon i asked the room leader if there is an incident report.. she said she will write it tomorrow. Shouldn't the incident report be written the same day? Also should the educators notify that girls parents to tell them she harmed another child?
