AIBU to think that 3% employer pension contribution is low?

Morning, hopeful some HR savvy people out there not consumed in pre Christmas prep!

I have been given a job offer and am going through the employment contract. All looks fine however the employer contribution to the pension is 3% - AIBU to think this is low and would I be seen as ‘cheeky’ to flag this before accepting their offer? For background, I left my last employer when my son was 2 and have been a SAHP for a year, now ready to get back into the job market again and mindful of my pension being on hold. My last employer matched my contributions and the pension before that was a final salary scheme - appreciate this is getting rarer. What do you think? Should I just accept this is how it is now and raise my own percentage? Thank you.

Sorry @Xmasfairy86 you are indeed correct. The minimum employer contribution is still 3%
