About Jakeman Nursery School

For a nursery school in Birmingham, Jakeman Nursery School stands out sharply against the local authority average. Birmingham has 27 nursery schools in total, and only 17 of them hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Jakeman is one of that select group, and its most recent inspection in 2023 awarded it the top grade across every single category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2016, when it was rated Good overall. The school has clearly built on that solid foundation to reach the highest possible standard. With just 79 pupils on roll and a headteacher, Samantha Richards, who has been in post long enough to oversee this upward trajectory, Jakeman offers an intimate setting where the focus is squarely on early years development. Its closest Outstanding neighbour, Lillian De Lissa Nursery School, is only a kilometre away, so parents in this part of Birmingham have strong local options.
