To ask about christmas cards for nursery?

[sadkoala]

DS(nearly 4) has caught onto Christmas cards and has asked if he can get some for his friends. Obviously nursery isn't allowed to give out DC's names but they are happy for me to pass the cards on and they will fill the names out. Ds also wants to stick some stickers inside (sticker obsessed).

We know a few of the DC's by name as DS talks about them all the time or we know them from playgroups ect.
Would it be fine to fill out the names of the children we know and leave the rest for nursery to fill out or do we just let the nursery do them all?

Feel like I'm overthinking this but not sure what the correct way to do this is?

Just do for the children he knows and talks about?

(Then in Reception do for the whole class - see other threads).

I would never give out a list of names but the children's coat pegs had first names on so parents would copy these. It was a right pain at this time of year when every child gave to every other child whether they actually knew them or not. I'd suggest writing cards to those children whose names your DC can remember - unless he is like my DGS who made the names up.

Our nursery give out a list of first names and an initial if there's more than one child with the same name. They do it all the time for party invites. But surely at 4 your child must know the majority of names. Does your nursery have a FB Page or put any photos on line, we've found looking at photos quite often results in our child rattling off all the names once prompted.

There's no FB page. I just don't know if it would be a bit mean only doing certain names? It's a really small group (12 DC's max I think). And we've bought more than enough little cards.

Oh, if there's only 12 then write love from sadkoalason in each of them and get nursery to address. I was imagining a much bigger group than that!

Yes, 12 is manageable, I was thinking of a larger class.

Take a photo of the pegs and collect the names that way.

Our nursery sends a Christmas card list out with just first names on, if not I would just right love xxxx on them and send them in.

Surely nursery will give you a list of first names if you ask for them? Christmas cards can be a good way of getting to know others in the nursery - I remember my DD receiving several saying please call Mummy on this number if you’d like to come round and play.
