Am I being precious about petit filous and other food

I am never sure if I am being neurotic or not as I am a little high maintenance. But the nursery my son will start at next week at 8 months serves nice, homely food but I am worried about it. I am careful with sugar and so think it isn't appropriate for him to have chocolate pudding. Also all yogurt is sugary childrens stuff. They also serve sausages and beans - are they too salty for his age?
Feel free to tell me to get over it.
They say I can take my own sugar free yogurt in and opt out of sugary pudds but am I being over the top?
They seemed to think I am.
Thanks s

Small children need more fat and calories in their diet than adults do. You can't just apply adult healthy eating to small children. An interesting, and relevant, article here.

Not a huge difference. They are all chemically similar, the body may have to do some work to break the naturally occurring sugars, but it does not take long to do it.

Yes, I would have said sausages and beans are too salty for an 8 month old. Am not so worried about the sugar, tbh.
