Would these things bother you about a preschool?

We went to visit a preschool yesterday for my ds to start when he turns 2 in May.

He loved it and everyone seemed nice.
Only things that concerned me were that the scissors are kept out and they are not children ones but actually sharp adult ones and glass jars. They also advised us the children drink from glasses and have China plates.

It's a montessori preschool and ofsted rated excellent. I know they like to treat the children with respect and autonomy but I didn't realise how much and it has made me nervous. Everything in our home is baby safe and proof. I know they must learn sometime I just know how young and haphazard my son is.

They also had huge heavy boxes on a mezzanine level right above where the children play with no guard which made me worry about things falling off accidently.

I'm probably just being a first time anxious mum just wondered if this would worry other mums and/or whether Im being overly cautious?

I had the same thoughts when DS started nursery. He's six now and at school. He never cut himself on the scissors, they used to give them toast and crumpets and let them butter their own, DS never cut himself on the knife. They ate and drank out of china cups and plates and had proper metal cutlery but they were always sat down nicely at the table, even for snacks. They had popcorn for snack time which I always thought was a choking hazard but DS loved it.

It all sounds pretty normal for nurseries these days. If you have another child you won't be bothered by the time they start nursery.
