chocolate? wine maybe?

something to help her relax after a long day with kids!

A thank you card with a lovely message inside, chocolate, wine, flowers, a hug. Most of all just make sure she knows how much you've appreciated all she's done in last 8 mths.

You could also write her a 'reference' for her to keep in her portfolio, to let future parents know what a brill cm she is

Some of those floaty candles, and some bubble bath

I think you are a nice mum for caring so much

I think i would go for a good wine and lux chocolates. You can never have too much of these. Or a token for theatre?

have a think what she may have around her house?, is she one for picture frames (a photo of your ds), flowers, empty wine bottle ..just kidding, but if you have an idea of her tastes, but the BEST thing is a lovely thankyou card saying how you appreciate what she has done and how well she has cared for your ds, OFSTED love things like this and she will appreciate that
