Today is my son’s last day of nursery, now other children who have left are 5 and going on to infant school, where as I am taking my son out cause I think the nursery sucks,
So do I have to get presents for people. I object on a whole about getting presents for the teachers for doing their jobs, so I am not sure why I am in a quandry
Well I do I feel the social pressure on me I don’t know any of the parents or children so I am not sure why I should get them a present
I hate being unsure of my decisions
Ohh..I wish I could offer some sound advice but it’s the first time I’m hearing of buying presents in this situation. 🙂

I think it is a fairly recent thing, certainly when I was at school I don’t remember doing it

It must be me, being a foreigner and all, but no, I don’t normally buy gifts for teachers or nursery staff. On the rare occasion that I do so, it’s because they have been really kind to my child. Like my son’s reception teacher and TAs. They had to work a lot with G to encourage him to write.
Year 1 teacher? You have to be bloody kidding me if anyone thinks I’m buying her anything. 😛

Thanks M, I did get very puzzled and will probably stick to the my original assumption that I am not doing it

And knowing your child’s nursery, they are just lucky you don’t leave a steaming pile of dog poo at their door. 😛
Just kidding. Maybe. Or not. 🙂

Don’t tempt me, we have left it now, he starts a new school in three weeks, so all should be good

From my point of you, no gifts. From the person who goes above and beyond, a hand-written notes. Maybe some people expected more but I sure didn’t lose sleep over it.
