Policies & Safeguarding
Keeping Children Safe at Jigsaw
Children should feel safe, secure and cared for every day they spend with us.
Safeguarding is at the heart of our responsibility as an early-years provider and forms part of the way we work, communicate and make decisions throughout nursery life.
We are committed to creating environments where children's welfare comes first and where concerns are recognised, taken seriously and responded to appropriately.
Our Responsibility
Safeguarding is Everyone's Responsibility
Safeguarding isn't simply a policy kept in a folder. It is part of everyday nursery practice and the responsibility of everyone involved in caring for children.
🛡️Protect
Children's Welfare Comes First
The safety and wellbeing of children is central to the decisions we make and the care we provide.
👀Recognise
Being Alert to Concerns
Our team has a responsibility to recognise potential safeguarding concerns and understand when something may need further attention.
💬Respond
Taking Concerns Seriously
Safeguarding concerns are handled in accordance with our procedures and appropriate action is taken where necessary.
🤝Work Together
Parents & Professionals
Safeguarding children can involve working with families and, where appropriate, other professionals and agencies to help protect a child's welfare.
Safe & Secure
More Than Physical Safety
Keeping children safe means more than providing a secure nursery environment.
It means creating a culture where children are listened to, their individual needs are understood and their wellbeing is taken seriously.
Our safeguarding arrangements are supported by nursery policies and procedures covering the many different aspects of caring for children — from health, safety and collection arrangements to behaviour, medication, accidents, complaints and child protection.
We are always here to help and listen.
If you ever have a concern about your child's safety or wellbeing at Jigsaw, we encourage you to speak with a member of our nursery team.
