My fave gifts which I recieved in my almost 15yrs of working as a childcare worker, were
Homemade things like biscuits, choccies, cakes, cards with beautiful though out messages which we share with the other carers over coffee
The small bottles of champagne/sparkling wine
A beautiful mug which was filled with homemade goodies (like rum balls, truffles...)
A huge fruit hamper which was delivered to us one year, we ended up having to share it all with the children because there was too much for us to all eat!
Childrens books (both given to me individually, a few books for the centre and a generous gift voucher for a book store for the whole centre)
Finger puppets, story CD's, other really useful story time and language resources (like flash cards, puzzles...)
A bracelet and earings set which were handmade by (mostly mum) the children and mum
There are 2 main carers in each room with my girls and I usually get them something for themselves like a lip gloss, hand cream, body scrub plus something to eat/share which is generally christmas gingerbread made by DD1.
