My baby has been going to nursery since September and really loves it. All the staff are lovely and I would like to show my appreciation this Christmas but I have no idea what I should by them. My funds are limited so I cannot afford to buy individual presents. Any ideas? I wanted to avoid the chocolate tins because it seems a bit impersonal. Thank you

Hi Berbel,


You are so sweet. A tin of biscuits or chocolates always goes down well. Plus you can write individual cards for the staff to give it that personal touch.


Having worked in nurseries previously I can assure you that the staff are not expecting individual presents.


I'm glad that you have found a lovely nursery.


All the best

My plan was to make some gingerbread (although cheating and using the blocks of dough from sainsburys rolled out and cut into xmas shapes!) and then put in a glass jar tie with ribbon to make it look festive!


My daughter have a lovely key worker but also has a great relatioship with the head of the baby room, and the out-of-hours staff too so I want to be able to thank them all!

You can make little christmas posys very inexpensively from holly, Ivy which you can pick and other evergreens. Maybe a few fake berrys or baubles to brighten it up. A little from the florist supplemented by some forraged bits can go a long way. Tissue paper and a ribbon finishes it off really nicely.

    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority. 
    • Details here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.  
    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274
