Nursery and eating off the floor
My boy starts nursery next week at 12m. He loves to practice his pincer grip. He loves to practice eating. We just went for nursery taster and he spent the time outside trying to eat sticks and dried leaves. We stopped him but i was worried the nursery staff were too busy with the sick kids to notice.
Editing to add - there were alot of staff outside though and it wouldve been harder to be faster than us at stopping him eat things as we were both watching like hawks. They say they have 1:3 ratio of staff and that they would notice.
I'm really worried he will choke on something he shouldn't be eating but he LOVED being outside.
My partner suggested we ask he be kept inside until this phase has passed...is that too much?

I feel like your son will feel excluded.. and this isn’t a phase kids eat off the floor for a long time.
Maybe bring it up to the staff or find a new place
They’ll pick things up off the floor and try to eat them inside or out and likely for a long time to come. My 2.5 year old still puts things in his mouth sometimes.
If you don’t feel like your child is adequately supervised there I personally wouldn’t leave them there. Also, why have they got sick kids there?
The nursery won't accommodate keeping your child inside. They don't have the staff to be able to do so.
Just make them aware of the issue and they'll do their best to not allow it to happen
