What would be an appropriate gift for the staff at ds1's nursery?

[Lazarou]

Just want to get them a little something from ds. Any ideas?

At nursery I used to buy a box of chocolates or a cake for the staff to share at break time. I then bought a gift for the nursery - aimed at DD's age group such as book, puzzle or toy.

that's a great idea getting something for the children too, thanks

I got mine this from my DD

they loved it

I used to get my dc's to make them a little pot plant each - buy some plastic plant pots, compost and hyacinth bulbs and get the kids to put together with a bit of ribbon round!

thanks for the ideas

Whittards (the tea and coffee shop) do nice gift boxes with selections of different coffees or hot chocolates. I bought one as a present once for the staff at pre-school so they could have them for their tea break.

A copy of their contract highlighting the bit where its pecifies they are employed and receive wages....

9No opnly joking, tis the way these threads have gone in the past though LOL)

Seriosuly, our teachers get either a bottle of wine, one of those unicef ? oxfam type tokens relevant to small kids wrapped with a bar of fairtrade choc, or maybe a pretty fabric covered notebook.
