Jigsaw Uniform
Uniform is not a requirement at Jigsaw, but does give the children a sense of belonging and they are often pleased to wear it. Each child is given a Jigsaw T-shirt in red or green (depending which room they'll be in) upon starting. Additional T-shirts and/or sweatshirts can be purchased.
More important is to bring them in clothes and footwear which are:
- comfortable and suitable for playing in
- suitable for the weather conditions, including coat and suitable footwear because we try to allow the children to use the outside area as much as possible
- easy for them to manage themselves because we help children gain the skills that allow them to be independent, including taking off and putting on shoes and outdoor clothes, and learning to take themselves to the toilet - though support is obviously always available
- ... and provide a change of clothing in their bag because we provide aprons for the children when they play with messy activities, but they don't always catch everything!
