About Us...

JIGSAW is run and co-managed myself 'Stuart Ward' and my wife 'Elmarie Ward'. We each bring a variety of skills to our childcare setting and are able to provide a stimulating and safe environment in which to place children.

I understand child minding from an unusual perspective as my parents were also childminders and continue to support their area by providing respite care to families in need. This is some thing that we see in the future of Jigsaw.

Elmarie is from a large family and has strong family values. These help and guide the principles of JIGSAW in such matters as healthy eating, regular exercise and educating creatively. She has many years experience in caring for children from a wide variety of backgrounds and understands the difficulties that some parents face.

We believe in healthy eating, regular exercise and educating creativity as well as continuous development for both myself and the children in our care, as this will help them all to make a positive contribution in the future.

We provide a 24hr childminding service although there is limited spaces for childcare overnight.
