Food & Nutrition
Happy Tummies. Growing Children.
Busy nursery days need plenty of energy.
At Jigsaw, we want mealtimes to be a positive part of the day — a chance to enjoy good food, discover new tastes, develop independence and spend time together around the table.
We also understand that every child is different, so we work closely with families around allergies, dietary requirements and individual needs.
Our Approach
More Than Just What's on the Plate
🍎Nutritious
Fuel for Busy Days
We aim to provide varied food that gives growing children the energy they need for busy days of playing, exploring and learning.
🥕Discover
Trying Something New
Mealtimes give children opportunities to experience different tastes, textures and foods in a positive environment.
🍽️Independance
“I Can Do It”
As children grow, mealtimes provide lots of little opportunities to practise independence and everyday skills.
❤️Together
A Social Experience
Eating together creates opportunities for conversation, relationships and simply enjoying time around the table.
Every Child Is Different
Food That Works for Them
We know that food isn't straightforward for every family.
Allergies, intolerances, dietary requirements, cultural preferences and individual needs can all affect what a child can or chooses to eat.
We work with parents and carers to understand children's individual requirements and ensure important information is communicated to the people caring for them.
If your child has a particular dietary requirement, we'd encourage you to talk to us before they start so we can discuss their needs with you.
We have a strict No Nut policy at Jigsaw
All of our meals are prepared with all requirements in mind, keeping children safe and their tummies full.
First Tastes
Supporting Their Weaning Journey
Beginning to explore food is a big milestone.
As babies move through different stages of feeding and weaning, communication between nursery and home helps us understand their individual routines, experiences and needs.
Mealtimes gradually become another opportunity to explore — discovering new tastes and textures while developing the coordination and confidence to begin doing more for themselves.
Discover Nursery Life for Yourself
From play and learning to friendships and mealtimes, the best way to understand everyday life at Jigsaw is to come and experience it.
