Grandparents collecting from nursery?

Do your parents collect your child from nursery when there is just no need? My parents keep wanting to collect our little one, as they want one on one time?? I know it’s probably a grandparent thing, however they are keen to feed her up constantly with sugar or juice when we have to keep saying no!
