How much to give child's 1:1?

Meant to say - for end of year gift.

My child has an amazing 1:1 that he will have for 1 more year. The prior one was rubbish but this one has helped him bloom so much and I really want to give her a gift to reflect this.

For reference - my "easy" child's teachers a £25 gift card, for the 1:1TA would £100 be too much? I really want her to feel appreciated/motivated for next year but don't want to make her uncomfortable.

ds has written a card but I can't express how thankful I am to her so want to give her something nice.

Personally, I think £100 is too much. We give between £15 and £25.

thanks! Yes think you might need right.

I also went on a school trip recently which nearly killed me so am feeling a massive amount of teacher appreciation 😂

@Namechanger385u4p I have been thinking what to get DD's ta's (she's had a few this year). There is one in particular that worked with DS for years now with DD and feel I so grateful she is amazing with both. I do flowers or gift card usually Costa, I agree £25 would be the max.

I was thinking a £20 gift card and a small box of chocolates for DD's, but you're right they'd probably appreciate more on the gift card. £25 is the max I'd do though.

I do £100 for TA and much much less for teacher.

Ordinarily I would say that’s far too much. However, I understand that a 1:1 will work very closely with your child and it’s amazing that you are so pleased with the work they have done with your child. I would still say £50 absolute max though. I work as a 1:1 and honestly, a letter/card detailing how you have helped the child and how much it is appreciated means more than any gift.
