Bruises from nursery

Hey girls, I'm just wondering if this leg bruising is normal for a 3 yr old from nursery? My DS likes to climb things and can play abit boisterous at times so I'm thinking maybe it's from that? Do they look like fingerprint bruises? That crossed my mind but they look abit small to be fingerprint bruises. The first one is on his hip and the last one in just below his bum. I wouldn't be that concerned because as I said he can get abit boisterous but recently he's been saying he doesn't want to go to nursery and gets upset on the way there but once he's there he does look like he's having a nice time (they send me pics throughout the day). Am I just being over paranoid?

My little one can get covered in bruises, especially if she’s climbing but if you’re unsure then I’d ask the nursery.
You could just frame it politely that he’s coming home with more bruises than normal so can they keep an eye on him to make sure he’s not climbing or falling over. You could also mention how upset he is about attending nursery and ask if anything’s changed.

Can he tell you how he got the bruises?

Hi I thought if your child has an accident or fall at nursery they are meant to tell you and pre check for any marks/injuries as a result of the fall?
My SIL works in a nursery and am sure she told me they record all accidents/falls trips etc
