    I have two in crèche who both have two teachers. So I'll get the four a voucher for hair or nails. Tbh I'm never sure if it is too much or little but I think they are amazing and take brilliant care of my kids. While we pay crazy money on the creche I'm pretty sure they don't see any of it

    Thanks. I feel the same, they do a great job and are under paid for their work but with potentially 6 carers to buy for I don't know what's appropriate. Plus with so many it could get very expensive trying to give a good gift to all.

    What we do with the xmas presents for staff if they are left in without being for anyone in particular is number them and let all the staff draw numbers out and every one always gets stuff even if they dont know which particular family it came from

    Last year we gave a gift hamper with some sweets, chocolate, wine. This year he’s in a new room with more staff so we just gave a big box of chocolates. They don’t expect gifts and I’m sure appreciate anything. It’s the thought that counts.

    I had no idea what to get! Ended up going into lush and got a couple of their pre wrapped gifts.. they range in price. Got some slightly bigger ones for the 2 girls that are with my daughter every day and then some smaller ones for those in the baby room who used to mind her and still do on occasion. Throwing in a box of chocs I had in the house! It's hard when there's a few to consider. I hope they like them!
