Firstly, I know this is a first-world problem, so I apologise if it seems a bit trivial/banal!
My daughter has been attending nursery since October 2023 for two half-days a week. Everyone who works there is lovely, and she gets along well with all of them.
A few months ago, she “graduated” to the next room. To show my appreciation, I bought small gifts for her current key worker, her previous key worker, and the previous room leader. (I get updates only from them 3 on the nursery app, and not the rest).
Here’s where I’m struggling. After giving the gifts to the two ladies from her previous room, I noticed the other staff members (two of them) came over to read the cards. I felt mortified because I hadn’t bought gifts for them. I had considered it but decided against it because I’d already bought a bottle of bubbly for the nursery at the nursery's request (they preferred this over chocolates or snacks so they could hold a "bottle ballot"). I thought additional gifts might be unnecessary as I've already spent 50 quid - each gift cost £10, and the bubbly was £20.
If you were one of the other two ladies, would you feel disappointed and left out? I’m now considering going to the nursery tomorrow with gifts for them as well.
