Nursery forced to relocate after fire

A purpose-built day nursery has been destroyed in a suspected arson attack. The Jigsaw Day Nursery in Bradwell Common, Milton Keynes, was so badly burnt in the fire on 6 August that the building is likely to be demolished. Each week the nursery cares for more than 140 children, who will now have to be moved to Jigsaw's recently-opened nursery at Browns Wood, Milton Keynes.
