About Lillian De Lissa Nursery School

Lillian De Lissa Nursery School has been rated Outstanding in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Good rating. The 2021 inspection awarded top marks across all four graded categories: quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This places the school among an elite group in Birmingham — of the 27 state nursery schools in the local authority, only 17 hold an Outstanding rating. The school serves 92 children aged 2 to 5, with 30% eligible for free school meals, a figure that reflects the diverse community it supports. Headteacher Laura O'Neill leads a setting that has clearly raised its game since the 2014 inspection, when early years provision, leadership, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good. The jump to Outstanding across the board suggests consistent, deliberate improvement in the quality of early years education on offer.
