afraid DS isn't napping enough at daycare

According to his daily report sheet, DS generally takes 2 naps at daycare, each lasting between 20-30 minutes.  I noticed that this week, he went to sleep earlier and earlier each evening.  He usually goes down around 8, but last night he was out by 6:30.  He slept until 5 (very unusual for him... he usually lasts 8 hours max before waking up), ate a bottle, then went back to sleep until 7:30.  I gave him breakfast of oatmeal and fruit, played with him a little while, and then he went back to sleep around 9:30.  He slept until 1:45! 

He doesn't seem sick in any way... no fever, eating normally, not cranky, etc.  I just think he was exhausted after not getting much sleep all week.  He's always napped longer on the weekend at home than at daycare, but never napped this long.  I'm not sure what to do about it.  He's in a center where there are 7 other infants in the room.  The lights are bright and there's always noise, so I don't know what the daycare providers could do to make him sleep better.  I just hate for him to not get adequate sleep during the week.
