DS1 is leaving nursery to go to school in September. He’s been at the same place since he was 1. His current key worker is fantastic and has brought him on in leaps and bounds since he started in the preschool room. So definitely want to write her a lovely card and get her a little present. There are also a couple of other ladies in the room who have been there a long time and have done a lot with him. And there are a couple of others who are very new and I’m not even sure of their names.
So, problem one: Would you get the same thing for all of them, or a present for key worker but not for the rest, or a present for key worker but chocolates for the rest?
Problem two: he officially finishes the week after next, but he’s going to be going in and doing odd days over the summer, then going back for a week in September before school starts. When would you give cards and presents? At the end of this term, or when he actually leaves?
I realise I sound like a twat and this is such a non-problem, but it’s the kind of social situation I tie myself in ridiculous knots about. I can be painfully socially awkward and don’t want to do the wrong thing/ offend or upset anyone. So can someone please just tell me what to do!
