Leaving nursery - gift ideas for nursery please

[DarlingCoffee]

Hello, I’m looking for some ideas from all you wise mumsnetters. My little one is leaving nursery next month as we are taking some time as a family before she starts big school. She has been with the nursery since a baby so I would like to get them a nice gift, not too spendy but happy to spend a bit. Perhaps something for the nursery as a whole rather than individual people. The usual gifts just don’t feel right at this present time. Does anyone have any brilliant suggestions? Thanking you in advance.

We bought nice picture books on leaving nursery

Just bumping this as I'm looking for inspiration- DD's probably not going back after four years and want to give a proper thank you.

Double check they are accepting gifts. We have been told no gifts can be accepted this year.

I think we are going to go down the route of bringing in cakes for everyone. It’s not quite what I would have wanted but other presents just seem a bit inappropriate at this time.

Hand creams. If there is anything people need right now it's decent hand cream!

I bought a set of Julia Donaldson books & another set. From the book people (RIP 😥😥😥😥😥)
They still had them when dd2 was there 4 years later.
With dd2 - the nursery was closing & was very underhand with communication so I didn't get anything but bought for the amazing staff. Made DD make coasters for them too.
