Tom Shea, the founder of Jigsaw nursery group who stepped down as chief executive last year, has launched a new venture - a childcare consultancy. Childcare Innovations Partnership (CIP), based in Northampton, will provide guidance and expertise on all childcare issues. It has already been commissioned to develop support for a group of 'not for profit' nurseries, looking at how childcarers can concentrate on children rather than routines and administration.
