Nursery confusing child with another black child

Has it been done more than once? How do you know that’s been happening? Only asking bc my mom and teachers often confuse names out of habit not bc they’re actually confusing the child BUT if that’s the case, i would just say hey this is my child’s name and suggest name tags until they can remember / confident in the children’s names

Does he look like the other kid? I think sometimes kids that are either chunky or have the same haircut might look related. I’m also terrible with names. And I am black btw, please don’t think this is me being a racist (I gotta say tho, most while blond children look alike) 😅

How long have yours or the other child being in the daycare? If it’s relatively knew, I would give the a bit of grace. Now, I advice you to still approach them in love and remind them your child’s name is xx. Tell them “you keep calling him by the other kid’s name, but his name is…”

😮 this is shocking! I have a fear of nursery pronouncing my daughter’s name wrong when she starts as lots of people do. It’s supposed to be a minim of 5 children to 1 adults member of staff so it shouldn’t be that hard. Here’s what would do - 1. **Document Incidents**: Keep a record of when this happens. 2. **Schedule a Meeting**: Request a meeting with nursery staff to discuss your concerns. 3. **Communicate Clearly**: Express your feelings calmly, using "I” like I have concerns over. 4. **Ask for Their Perspective**: Give them a chance to explain. 5. **Emphasize Individuality**: Highlight the importance of recognizing each child's identity. 6. **Follow Up**: Monitor the situation and check in if needed. 7. **Seek Support if Needed**: If the issue persists consider filing a formal complaint.

I was one of 2 Asian girls in my class and teacher was always mixing up our names Honestly just speak to them they may not realise they are doing it

So depending on age of child the ratio changes I'm a nursery nurse in 3-5 room the ratio is about 1 adult to between 8 and 13 kids 2 year olds I 1 adult to 5 children and under 2s is 1 adult to 3 children. Tbh this is easily done not because colour of skin just there's that many children sometimes the wrong name comes out especially if there are children that are in more regularly are the names that slip out more often. I get the names of my own kids mixed up I got my neice right now I've called her my daughters name 3 times today its more of a habit not that I don't know my own kids or niece.
