Birthday Party

My ex partner has organised my child's birthday and he gave her invitations to share at nursery ( pre school) . It was one invitation per child but my child decided to invite everyone except one child. This child had hit her several times ( I informed the teacher when my child told me) and not just my child , I've been told by other mums how this child had hit their children too, one of the mums told me this child targets younger and shy children.

I tried to convince my child to invite him too as I think it's ugly invite everyone except one child but she said no ( she is afraid of him and she does not want him at her party) and it's not me who is organising the party, it's her dad and he did not invite me. I feel bad for this child who has been excluded. I don't know him well but when I see him he seems a sweet child.

This child's mum is the reception teacher, Reception class is next to nursery class, my child will start reception next September and now I'm worried the teacher won't treat her as the other's because her child has been excluded from the party.

Should I do something?

They're 3, 4 at most. It's cruel to exclude one child.

I'm surprised the nursery agreed to allow invites to all but one child. Most kids who hit at that age will grow up fine, they just lack communication and impulse skills. If she doesn't want him there then she should just invite a few.

OP isn't disputing that, nor is she the one hosting the party. She has no control over the invitations.

Why would nursery have anything to do with a birthday party? Was it at nursery?

Maybe just the way it has been done where my kids have been. No 3 year old would manage to hand out invites properly, so we gave them to school or nursery to go in the kids bags. They wouldn't have agreed to hand out to exclude just one child, but did for all of group invites, or just a select few. Past that stage, we just whatsapp the parents these days.

Teacher and my child gave the invitations. After pick up my child told me she gave all the invitations except 2. ( her best friend is in Hong Kong at the moment so she will give her the invitation when she'll be back).
