Different staff always looking after DS at nursery

DS is 2 and goes to nursery twice a week. The nursery has a lot of staff and have hired a few new people here and there lately. It isn't a huge nursery at all. At the door there is photos of which staff is in that day and there is always plenty of them. DS has a designated key worker but I haven't seen her for weeks (although I know she has been there as she has been visible on photos with other kids in other rooms and her photo is always at the door). There is always someone different who comes to the door on a morning and always someone different who is uploading his meals on the app, the newest one I have never seen before. To be honest I have no idea who is really looking after him most days. Lately there has been someone different bring him out at each pick up. I just feel like there is not much consistency and I'm worried it may be difficult for him to form strong relationships with staff if they are always swapping and changing.

I'm not sure whether I'm over thinking this and if this is possibly normal? What happens in your DC nursery in regards to staff looking after them, is it consistent and you know who will be looking after them? I was considering emailing them to speak about it (rather than bring it up at pick up due to never knowing which staff will come out) but wanted to get others opinions on whether you'd be happy with this or not?

Mmmm I totally get you.
It's the same at my nursery.
However, one plus I can see is he gets use to multiple care covers at the nursery and will transition through the rooms well? Cope with holidays, sickness, leavers etc?

Yes I can see that. He will be 3 in just over 3 months so will be moving up to the next room I assume, maybe I should just leave until then? I don't know, I just want him to be confident and happy at nursery and used to the staff. I just feel they should be a bit more consistent. Each morning he will ask where he is going that day, if I tell him he's going to his grandparents (he goes there twice a week also) he is so excited and eager to get there but if I tell him it's a nursery day he always says he doesn't want to go and sometimes gets a bit upset, he's always ok actually going in but he never likes the idea of going.
