Mathematica

(* This program is not suitable to compute a large number of terms. *)
nmax = 8;
f[a_][b_] /; Length[a]==Length[b] := Table[b[[a[[i]]]], {i, 1, Length[a]}];
A[n_, k_] := Nest[f[#], Range[n], k]& /@ Tuples[Range[n], {n}] // Union // Length;
Table[A[n-k, k], {n, 0, nmax}, {k, n, 0, -1}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, May 05 2019 *)
