Pre school teacher leaving gifts?

[foreverchangingnappies]

My child will be leaving his pre school in July as he’s off to school in September. I’m wondering what to get as thank you gifts for the staff? I have another child starting there in September too so will still be seeing the staff a lot for another couple of years!

He has a key worker who he loves, and I get regular updates from on what he’s doing. And then there’s the rest of the staff (about 5/6 others).

I was thinking maybe a candle or something for his key worker, then a big box of chocolates/biscuits for the rest that they can share. Does this sound ok? Or any suggestions for something better?

Thanks in advance

If I am being honest I think gifts for all the staff are a bit unnecessary and would only gift to someone who had really made a difference to the child’s school life.

Rather than a candle I would probably give a gift voucher. to a bookstore or something.

Following this to steal ideas!

Last year (I get the staff something every year and don’t begrudge a treat for the people who are taking good care of my boy so I can work), I got the staff a voucher for a cafe that’s very close to the nursery.

They’re always in and out of the place for their lunch so I thought I’d cover the bill, so to speak. They really enjoyed it, so maybe something like that if there’s a place nearby?

Get your son to write/draw on the card. I’ve read loads of times that a thing directly from the child means the most.
