Co-parenting advice

Hi, just after some advice please!
I co-parent my Daughter with her Dad (my ex), she's just turned 4.
He lives in a one-bedroom flat which is all he can afford for now. His original plan was to sleep on a sofa bed and she'd sleep in the bedroom on the nights she's with him; however that didn't happen and I didn't want to meddle too much. Up until a few months ago she was coming into my bed in the night so I didn't see them co-sleeping as too much of an issue.
However she'll be starting school in September and I'm worried that 4/5 is too old to be sharing a bed with her Dad and I'm scared she may get teased/bullied.
I've spoken to him about it and he's said he'll just sleep on the sofa but I highly doubt it.
Where do I stand with enforcing this? Do you think it's a fair ask or should I just let it go?

I think loads of children this age sleep with their parents. She's 4, not 14!

I also very much doubt that sleeping arrangements are a hot topic of conversation amongst 4/5 year olds. The other kids are not going to know or care where she sleeps.
