Presents for carers at preschool/childcare etc

[AliBaby]

Do you get them something? What do you get them? Do you just buy for your child'smain carer or all the carers in the room?

I just usually buy one present for all the carers, which is a large box of choccies.

I bought an 'oxfam unwrapped' donation that I felt was relevant and would resonate with the workers - it was an educational package including paints, pens etc for children in a refugee camp. DD painted christmassy squiggles which we turned into a card for each worker, and we put a note about the donation in each card saying that it was 'on behalf of all our wonderful carers'. Thought it might be more meaningful than just buying something 'token', and didn't want to do consumables as I know at least 2 of them are trying to watch their weight!

There are two main carers in DS1 room and they are the one's in the room the two days he goes so I will address the gift to them. Recently when I was in the room one mentioned how anything they get is shared with all the children anyway.....so this week DS1 and I will decorate a Gingerbread House & give that to them on what is also his last day for good (kindy next year) and the Christmas party. They can then all share it.

Thanks for the reminder, this is our first Christmas at creche and I hadn't really thought of it! I think we will go a box of choccies for each room with kid made cards.

I never thought about it either. Gosh I wonder if I should get something for tomorrow?!
