What do you do about Christmas presents for your mindees. I have already decided that I will get them all a little something maybe to value of £5, I know it doesn't sound much money but when you times it by all the mindees it soon adds up! My biggest question is what do you put on the gift tag? Do you sign it from just yourself of from your dh and dc as well? I am really confused and it is my first Christmas as a cm so don't want to get it wrong so to speak. Sorry for asking so early but I am really busy in December with extra evening work for extra Christmas pennies so like to get everything done before I start that. TIA

A Christmas card would be enough I think! Youre mindees will not expect gifts, and I doubt the parents will expect it either.

I wouldn't do it.
It isn't your job to be spending money on your mindees.
I on the other hand will be buying something fabulous for my childminder as she is utterly fantastic and I appreciare her hugely.
