I am upset that the nursery my daughter goes to has refused to give me the names of the children she loves spending time with. Her birthday is coming up and I wanted to leave messages for their parents, inviting the children to my daughters birthday party, but the nursery has refused, I donot understand their reasoning, I am not asking for personal information, I just want the name to address the invites to and I will leave them on the message board for the parents to pick up.

This sounds a little over the top but I guess it's all part of nurseries having to be overcautious in case something happens and the finger gets pointed.


Can you ask them to give out un-named invites and put your number in them (explaining the issue) for parents to contact you? Or perhaps put a note on the notice board with your number? Perhaps if you named the nursery on here and the age of your child, others from the forum with kids there could PM you?

That is odd. My son's nursery make a point of introducing us to any new friends he makes in class to encourage his social skills. Its quite sweet.


I agree with nunheadmum, just print up a general invitation and invite children in his immediate age group and wait for the confirmations. I hope it goes well.

I think that's really bizarre - its important for parents to know who their kids are engaging with, you and other parents may want to meet up outside of nursery hours to foster friendships further - I'm assuming your little one is too young to tell you herself, so its up to the care givers to involve the parents. Bizarre.
Really strange! My son's nursery were forever telling me about his friends and even named a boy that is his "best friend" in my son's end of year report as apparently they are inseparable. I did the exact same thing as you when it came to inviting his friends to his birthday party and the nursery were more than happy to name the children he mostly spends time with and the parents were equally excited when I spoke to them about the party, especially since most of the kids now start reception and will be going to different schools. Both the nursery and the parents were keen to foster their friendship, just like kristymac said. If you are wanting to limit the number of children you invite, maybe you could do un-named invites and ask the nursery to hand them to the children they feel your child spends most time with? Or like nunheadmum and berryberry said, limit it to your daughter's age group? I feel for you, I'd be pretty pi..ed off if my son't nursery refused to tell me who his friends are!

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
