Still should check the fluid, whos to say there was not a leak. With gearbox issues the easiest thing you can do is make sure they have the correct fluid and topped up before going head first in the deep end.

And lack of fluid will make it pop out of gear.how! I was going to suggest to check all the gearbox and engine mounts first.

Still something that should be checked even part of maintenance, if the mounts were loose there probably would be a bit of a jolt / shock in the car which the OP has not mentioned.

the car was serviced last week as per mechancial warranty services so all fluids wouldve been checked and topped up when it first slipped out,i had thought, that maybe i had put it in neutral instead of reverse but it happened today as i was reversing out my driveway

Perhaps take it back to them, if they did the work they would know what has been done.
