Nursery staffs older children playing with my 14 month old

My daughters (14m) been going to a nursery full time for a few months now. She's come on leaps and bounds and really enjoys it there. There's just one thing that's really bugging me and I'm not sure whether I'm worried for nothing.

All the nursery staff have children that either go to the nursery or the primary school next door. For weeks now the nursery staff have been telling us 'funny stories' of how obsessed one of the workers sons is with our daughter. How much he loves playing with her and comes into the baby room to feed her her breakfast before he goes to school. He's 7. His mum works in the room so watches all the time, but it just feels weird that a significantly older child gets to be around my daughter and I have no idea who it is, what he's like and what they do together.

All the staff paint a picture that it's so funny/cute and that my daughter loves it. But I can't help but feel like this shouldn't be something happening at a private nursery. AIBU?

What about this worries you exactly? It's a little boy playing with your toddler.

Do you have a disturbing back story?

This is so sad that you would see it as anything else but lovely. I hate how suspicious everyone is nowadays,..he’s 7 for christs sake.

Oh ffs. I realise to you a 7 year old seems MASSIVE but he's just a little boy.

You do know who he is, he is the staff member's little boy?
What do you think is going to happen?
