Hi I wasn't sure where to post this so went with nurseries! I'm currently working in the office of a nursery/creche/preschool. I've been covering maternity leave and the other admin person is back in a few weeks so I'll be leaving. I don't work directly with the children but I greet them every day, we chat in the reception area before they go in and if I have to go into the room for anything the kids will have and hi five me, and going home etc. I have a lot of contact with parents and have met some lovely families, and at end of school year (were only open term times), Christmas and valentines day I was very kindly given presents from the children. Now that I'm leaving I'd love to get a little something for the children back but I'm not sure if this is appropriate? We also have 60 children aged 2-5 so I'd be looking for something affordable especially since I don't currently have another job to go to! A lot of our families are from underprivileged areas and children don't have access to basic things like books so I was thinking about maybe scouring a few charity shops for good condition books and writing a little message inside each one, would this be weird though to gift them something from a charity shop?!
Any other suggestions welcome!
Thanks
