This is probably spot-on for two of my kids. The third one barely spoke at 2, and ended up having a learning disability. Interesting, although it would most likely not pertain to toddlers in day care, who would be exposed to a different group of words on a daily basis:
Wow, I won't mind if she can't say cookie, to be honest.
I don't think they should know these 25 words... just know 25 words minimum.
My daughter being raised in 2 languages, I wonder what she should know exactly!
Interesting topic. My son, and as legend has it myself, didn't choose to say much of anything before about 2, but then immediately used complete sentences.

That is what I was told I did as well. I had an older sister that did my talking. She went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a few days, the day after she left I tugged on my mom's pants and said "I would like a cookie".
Our twins babbled to each other and they seemed to be able to understand each other but we couldn't understand what they were saying until right before they turned 2. Our oldest was talking in complete sentences by 18 months.

They forgot one very important word my dd had down by the time she was 9 months old. "STUCK!". I can still hear that little voice crying "Stuck, Stuck". She could manage to get into the strangest places.
Kids are all different. I have a nephew who didn't talk until well after his second birthday who is just brilliant. I didn't talk until I was 2 (the doctor told my mom I was retarded).

That was me too. I didn't even babble and probably would have been placed on some spectrum these days.
I think it's just as (or even more) important that a child be able to understand words by that age.

Haha thats cute. I remember my niece doing that too. She always got stuck between the bed and the wall. Lol.
Kids are different. My daughter babbled away as a little baby and had tons of words by 12mths. She is 7 now and still has a little baby quality to her voice. My son had one word (tree) until 16mths. Now he sounds like a little news anchor (he's 5) and has a verbal IQ that's off the charts...who knows?
The best advice my pediatrician ever gave me "kids are weird, give them time."
