Jigsaw operates an open door policy to both the parents of the children attending the nursery and to all relevant regulatory and inspection bodies.

Jigsaw will...

Aim to meet the needs of all children in our care in accordance with their stage of development and to provide opportunities for every child to explore their identity and to build on their self-esteem.

Encourage every family to feel part of the Nursery, respecting and accommodating cultural needs and requests wherever possible and cater for any special dietary needs.
