Daycare wants to move our non-walker up to the toddler room next month

Our daughter has been in the infant room since she started. The daycare says she is old enough to move to the toddler room next month, and that they move children by age. She crawls fast and pulls up on everything, but isn't walking. The toddler room has children up to two and a half, and I picture her being stepped on. Is moving by age normal, and should we ask them to wait until she walks?

long time back for us but our son moved rooms before walking too. started walking within a few weeks of being with the bigger ones. watching them seemed to push him

Could you ask to spend half an hour in the toddler room on a normal morning before the move? We wanted to see how many staff were actually on the floor and whether there was a separate mat area for the ones not walking yet. Seeing it settled most of our worries.
