Childminder / Nursery worker gift ideas?

[clemfandango25]

if your a childminder / nursery worker, teacher etc what is a gift you are pleased to receive off parents at Christmas? I have 2 childminders to buy for and want to get them something they’d like ideally!

last year I gave £25 just eat voucher each, with a card saying to treat themselves to a well deserved takeaway! Unsure what to do this year. Thank you

A justeat or deliveroo voucher definitely wouldn't go amiss. What I personally really like is something made by the child, I have things from 10+ years ago like painted trinket boxes, bookmarks, keyrings that I still treasure!

I’m going with £20 Amazon vouchers (there’s bloody six of them to get!) with a voucher plus a few extra presents for the key worker.

I think they’ll be inundated with chocolate/biscuits etc so wanted to let the staff decide what they buy for themselves.

Costa / Starbucks voucher

Vouchers are amazing! Though not the Love2Shop ones as there are few places near here which take them and they lose value quickly. And I'd rather have a bar of milk chocolate rather than a box as most wnt be eaten, but I'm grateful for anything.

Parent here:

We did a small ornament as our childminder had a mindee-tree where she kept all things gifted or what they did during the time with her.
Then a bottle and some chocolates which were teen friendly as well as she had two of her own and DD loved the girls.

Nursery - voucher, it depended on the keyworker. We did Amazon for one who was just 20, stationary for the guy who studied part-time and always said he run out of notebooks and lost pens, book token for the last one in her pre-school room.

When I worked as a nursery practitioner we really loved a good voucher 👍 Came in very handy

Vouchers are a lovely idea and make sure that the envelope is addressed to a particular key worker otherwise they have to be given in for all to share .This has happened in my sister's nursery .
